Overview
• As the world population grows and resources become limited, it is imperative that the swine industry continues to maximize productivity and efficiency.
• One area that allows for improvement in productivity is maximizing the reproductive performance of the sow.

Overview
• As outlined earlier this year by the National Pork Board, an initiative has been set forth to maximize the number of quality pigs a sow produces in her lifetime with the goal to increase productivity by 30% in the next seven years.

What We Learned Today
• Dr. Pollmann has outlined critical areas to evaluate to help define the opportunities for each system.

Implications of Sow Productivity
• According to an article in Feedstuffs1, Dr. Sundberg notes that if US sow herds can increase the number of litters produced by a sow by one additional litter in her lifetime, the pork industry could receive an increase in $250 million in net value.

What We Learned Today
• Dr. Flowers discussed the physiological test for sow longevity.
![Page 10: Dr. Laura Greiner - Putting it all together - Improving Sow Lifetime Productivity](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060110/55618a7dd8b42a71658b4cc0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Sow Lifetime Productivity
• A sow’s lifetime performance is impacted by:– Age of breeding– Offspring pre-wean mortality– Wean to estrus– Gestation and lactation length– Offspring wean to finish mortality– Total born and born alive– Feed utilization and cost– Housing– Lifetime economic productivity
![Page 11: Dr. Laura Greiner - Putting it all together - Improving Sow Lifetime Productivity](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060110/55618a7dd8b42a71658b4cc0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
Maternal Influence
• Gluckman et al, 2005– Good summary of research that discusses the role
of maternal environment on offspring performance
• Periods of nutritional deficiency can impact offspring growth
![Page 12: Dr. Laura Greiner - Putting it all together - Improving Sow Lifetime Productivity](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060110/55618a7dd8b42a71658b4cc0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Maternal Influence
• Ibanez et al, 2000– Demonstrated that girls defined as being small for
gestation age:• Higher FSH levels indicating ovarian hyporesponsivenes• Small uterus• Reduced ovarian volume
![Page 13: Dr. Laura Greiner - Putting it all together - Improving Sow Lifetime Productivity](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060110/55618a7dd8b42a71658b4cc0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

What We Learned Today
• As discussed by both Drs. Ross and Cassady, sow productivity does not start at the time that a sow is first bred, but rather early in the life of a sow.
![Page 14: Dr. Laura Greiner - Putting it all together - Improving Sow Lifetime Productivity](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060110/55618a7dd8b42a71658b4cc0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Improving Replacement Gilt Retention
• Published literature and conference proceedings released in the last ten years demonstrate that selection and production methods need to start at an early age before the gilt is first bred.
• Facility spacing/housing, average daily gain, structure selection, health, and nutrition in gilt developer units can all influence sow lifetime performance.
![Page 16: Dr. Laura Greiner - Putting it all together - Improving Sow Lifetime Productivity](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060110/55618a7dd8b42a71658b4cc0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Nutritional Opportunities for the Reproductive Female
• What is our goal?– Increase number of pigs weaned by parity– Improve sow retention

Method for Improving Sow Lifetime Productivity
• Improving sow lifetime productivity is a complex goal that requires all facets of pork production
• A systematic approach that addresses each area at various points before and during a sow’s reproductive career must be taken to determine how to maximize her performance.
