Breeding and exploitation of boars on commercial farm

Abstract

Breeding and exploitation of boars on commercial farms aimed at producing sperm doses for personal use. The lifetime of boars and therefore the length of their exploitation largely depend on their health. Therefore, control of the health status of the boars, quality control sperm for artificial insemination by overseeing the entire process of taking to sperm quality insemination dose optimization and comprehensive environmental conditions hold (accommodation, microclimate, food, power, attitude of employees), represent important parameters in terms of health control themselves boars, health control of the entire herd or economic parameters and productivity of farms and the profitability of the entire production. On a commercial farm at a total of 28 boar, race Landrace and Jokshir who were in exploitation during one calendar year following parameters: the number of inseminated gilts, sows number insemintion , repeated heats, the number of pollinated piglets, number of live births, and the number of stillborn piglets. Of all the 28 boars that were in exploitation were took blood. Sera boars we used to study prervalence porcine circovirus antibodies to type 2 (PCV2) using the ELISA test. We found that out of 28 tested samples was positive 21 samples. We have established the prevalence of antibodies to porcine circovirus type 2 PCV2 in tested boars
