When evaluating nutritional effects on boars, one should consider libido, quality and quantity of sperm, fertility, welfare, and environmental impacts. Age of boar, genetics, environment, and collection frequency must be considered when evaluating. Sever under nutrition of either protein or energy will affect sperm production. Optimum sperm production occurs when boars are gaining weight, but too much weight gain could compromise the longevity of the boar in the breeding herd. The feed intake level and desired rate of gain in the boar will be dependent on the turnover rate for genetic progress within a stud. Most diets are over formulated and boars are over-fed. Cost per dose of semen depends on several factors, including how many inactive or untrained boars are in the stud, how many rejected collections occur each week, cost of the diets, disease, and other environmental factors. All of these factors can impact the number of doses per week, which will change the cost of nutrition in the end. Basics need to be taken care of when formulating diets for boars. Nutrients should not be over-supplied beyond maintenance and moderate growth (for the achievement of an improvement of sperm production or quality). Other feed additives should be evaluated on either changes in output or changes in fertility to ensure a financial payback. New research will increase the understanding of the impacts that physical factors have on the diet and the implications on reproductive performance. Predicting the true dietary requirements for boars will become more specific and accurate, as new techniques are developed to assess semen, which have a greater correlation to fertility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
