对重庆市引进的伊拉曾祖代4个系和祖代2个系开展连续3个胎次的繁殖性能测定,结果显示伊拉曾祖代C系平均窝产仔数和平均初生窝重显著高于A、B、D系(P<0.05),伊拉曾祖代D系21日龄平均窝重和35日龄平均断奶个体重显著高于A、B、C系;伊拉祖代D系平均窝产仔数、平均出生窝重、泌乳力(21日龄平均窝重)、35日龄平均断奶个体重均显著高于B系(P<0.05)。结果表明从法国引进的伊拉兔已基本适应重庆地区高温高湿的环境条件,初生窝重、初生产活仔数、断奶个体重等繁殖性能各项指标基本稳定。     

胎次、产仔季节和产仔年份对深县猪繁殖性能的影响

为了分析不同产仔季节、胎次和产仔年份对深县母猪繁殖性能的影响,试验根据河北正农牧业有限公司2013—2016年间的深县母猪繁殖记录,采用最小二乘法进行了数据分析。结果表明:产仔季节对深县猪的初生重影响极显著(P0.01),但对其他性状都无显著影响(P0.05);胎次对初生重影响极显著(P0.01),对总产仔数、活仔数、断奶窝重的影响显著(P0.05),总产仔数、活仔数、初生窝重和断奶窝重等均随着胎次的增加而增加;产仔年份对总产仔数、活仔数的影响极显著(P0.01)。     

杂交猪繁殖性能的影响因素分析

本研究利用SPSS软件中的方差分析等模块分析了年份、季节、胎次、性别和杂交方式等因素对杂交猪繁殖性能的影响。结果表明,年份对产活仔数和断奶仔猪数有极显著影响(P＜0.01),而对总产仔数无显著影响(P＞0.05)。季节对产活仔数和断奶仔猪数有极显著影响(P＜0.01),对总产仔数有显著影响(P＜0.05)。胎次对断奶仔猪数和初生重有极显著影响(P＜0.01),对产活仔数和出生窝重有显著影响(P＜0.05)。公猪的初生重显著大于母猪的初生重(P＜0.05)。杂交方式对总产仔数、产活仔数、断奶仔猪数、出生窝重和初生重均无显著影响(P＞0.05)。     

胎次对丹系大白猪繁殖性能的影响分析

对江苏省某国家生猪核心育种场丹系大白母猪各胎次的产仔数、产活仔数、断奶仔猪数及初生窝重、断奶窝重等繁殖性状进行了比较和相关性分析,旨在进一步了解丹系大白猪的繁殖性能,为后备母猪的选种选育提供参考。结果表明,丹系大白母猪第1、2胎产仔数较少,至第3胎达到最高为10.39头,后趋于稳定。不同胎次对产活仔数与断奶仔猪数的影响与产仔数的变化趋势基本一致。不同胎次的仔猪初生窝重基本持平,并以第3胎最高为14.81 kg。各胎次断奶窝重基本稳定。相关性分析表明,丹系大白母猪第3胎与第4胎产仔数、产活仔数、初生窝重呈显著正相关,第2胎与第5胎的产仔数、产活仔数、初生窝重间均呈显著负相关。第4胎与第5胎断奶仔猪数有显著负相关。第4胎和第5胎的断奶窝重有显著正相关。第3胎繁殖性能相对稳定,可以反映母猪繁殖性能,因此丹系大白母猪第3胎次的繁殖性能可作为选育后备母猪的重要依据。     

胎次和季节对青峪母猪繁殖性能的影响

本实验旨在研究不同胎次和季节对青峪母猪繁殖性能的影响,以优化猪群胎次结构和配种时间。根据四川省青峪猪保种场2017—2019年的729头青峪母猪1 773窝繁殖数据分析不同胎次、不同季节母猪繁殖性能的差异。结果表明:青峪母猪第1～10胎的总产仔数、健仔数、出生窝重、断奶窝重以及断奶仔猪数等性状总体呈先增高后降低的趋势,各胎次间存在显著差异,但弱仔数差异不显著,其中,第4胎的繁殖性能最好(9.63头);青峪猪总产仔数、健仔数、出生窝重、断奶窝重以及断奶仔猪数等性状存在显著的季节效应,其中,夏季分娩的总产仔数极显著高于春季和冬季,夏季分娩的平均初生窝重显著高于春季、秋季、冬季。综上,青峪猪的繁殖性状受到季节和胎次效应的综合影响,生产中需要加强初产和第6胎次以上高胎龄母猪的饲养管理,并及时淘汰高胎龄母猪,以维持最佳胎次结构。     

产仔季节和胎次对松辽黑母猪繁殖性能的影响

旨在揭示松辽黑母猪繁殖性能，确定繁殖性能最优的松辽黑母猪产仔季节和胎次组合，试验选择公主岭国家农业科技园飞马斯牧业有限公司2021年9月到2022年9月的126头221窝松辽黑母猪的繁殖记录，采用SPSS 26.0软件邓肯法多重比较分析不同产仔季节和胎次与松辽黑母猪繁殖性能的关联性，以期在吉林省饲养条件下提高松辽黑母猪育种效率和生产水平。统计分析结果显示：在春夏秋冬四季中，松辽黑母猪四季间的总产仔数和产活仔数均存在极显著差异(P<0.01),其中春季产仔性能最高，其次为冬季和夏季，秋季产仔性能最低；春季和冬季产仔的松辽黑母猪初生窝重、3周龄窝重和断奶窝重、断奶仔猪数极显著高于秋季(P<0.01);四季间松辽黑母猪的初生重性状间未存在显著差异(P>0.05)。松辽黑母猪第3胎次和4胎次的总产仔数极显著高于其他胎次(P<0.01);松辽黑母猪第3胎次的产活仔数显著高于第2、5胎次(P<0.05),极显著高于第1胎次和6胎次(P<0.01);第3胎次的断奶仔猪数性能最高，且显著高于第1胎次和6胎次(P<0.05);第4胎次的总产仔数、3周龄重、3周龄...     

大白猪乳头数与繁殖性状的关系研究

为了探讨大白猪乳头数与繁殖性状的关系,论证乳头数辅选繁殖性状的可行性,试验采用世代选育和系间杂交试验方法测定了大白猪产仔数与活仔数、出生窝重、21日龄窝重以及M、F两系纯繁、系间杂交后代乳头数,并探讨了乳头数的变化规律。结果表明:品系乳头数均值反映产仔数水平,F系产仔数、乳头数均极显著高于M系(P0.01);M、F系乳头数变异系数分别为4.24%、4.18%;随世代、胎次递增,乳头数呈下降趋势,是闭锁群繁殖性能退化的重要诱因;子代产仔数与母本胎次呈负相关(r=-0.24);大白猪保持乳头数的动力来源于母本,乳头数改变的动力来源于父本,产仔数由母本决定,父本仅影响子代乳头数,仔代产仔数高低由高乳头数亲本血液含量和父本杂交位次共同决定。说明乳头数可作为产仔数的辅选性状。     

配种季节与胎次对法系纯种大白母猪繁殖性能的影响

为了探求配种季节与胎次对法系纯种大白母猪繁殖性能的影响,笔者对福建某种猪场法系纯种大白母猪繁殖记录进行了整理,从不同胎次、配种季节2个方面进行统计学分析和差异显著性检验。结果表明:不同胎次的母猪在仔猪初生均重、断奶重、日增重等方面差异极显著,其他方面差异不显著。配种季节不同,母猪在产仔数、活仔数、断奶数、断奶窝重等方面差异显著,在出生窝重方面差异极显著,其他方面差异不显著。     

胎次和配种季节对长白、大白母猪繁殖性能的影响

为了分析不同胎次、配种季节对母猪繁殖性能的影响,笔者对江西省赣州市某猪场2015年长白母猪、大白母猪的繁殖记录进行统计分析,并按胎次及配种季节进行分组,分析其在不同胎次、配种季节条件下的繁殖性能差异。结果表明:长白母猪和大白母猪3~5胎繁殖性能较好,第1胎的初生均重、断奶均重最低;长白母猪第3胎窝产活仔数最高,显著高于1,2,6,7,8胎(P0.05);大白母猪第4胎窝产活仔数最高,显著高于第1,2胎(P0.05);长白母猪夏季配种窝产仔数、窝产活仔数最高,初生均重、断奶均重春季配种最高;大白母猪不同季节配种窝产仔数差异不显著(P0.05),夏季、秋季配种产活仔数显著高于冬季(P0.05)。说明不同胎次、配种季节对长白、大白母猪繁殖性能有较大影响。     

两个杜洛克品系杂交试验报告

以台系、美系杜洛克进行正反交试验，对四个组合的繁殖、肥育等项目进行测定并经过统计分析，结果表明：不同品系间杂交组合在配种受胎、产仔、肥育性能等方面表现出较大杂交优势，且台美组合为最优，其正常分娩率、窝产仔数、窝产活仔数、初生窝重、断奶窝重的杂交优势率分别为7.2%、21.1％、32.3%、36.4%和40.8%。日培重、耗料增重比的杂交优势率分别为：10.8%、-7.5%。可见，台美组合表现出良好的配合力，可作为生产杜长大（或杜大长）杂交繁育体系终端父本的最佳选择。

大白猪、长白猪和杜洛克猪催乳素受体基因多态性及其与繁殖性能的关系

本试验通过PCR-RFLP技术对大白猪、长白猪和杜洛克猪的催乳素受体(prolactin receptor,PRLR)基因第10外显子AluⅠ酶切位点进行多态性分析,并对各基因型母猪的第1至第3胎次产仔数、产活仔数、断奶仔猪数、初生窝重、21日龄窝重及断奶成活率进行测定,进而分析PRLR基因多态性与繁殖性能的关系。结果表明,PRLR基因在3个品种中均存在多态位点,且AA基因型都是其优势基因型。关联分析结果表明,大白猪AA基因型个体第1、2和3胎各繁殖性状均呈现出高于AB和BB基因型的趋势。在繁殖性能已经稳定的第3胎次AA基因型个体产仔数、产活仔数、断奶仔猪数、初生窝重及断奶成活率比BB基因型个体平均分别高出0.31头、0.63头、0.02头、0.65 kg和0.43%,但差异均不显著(P>0.05)。     

胎次对杜洛克、长白和大白母猪繁殖性能的影响

为了研究胎次对杜洛克、长白和大白母猪繁殖性能的影响,根据江苏省某国家级生猪核心育种场2009-2011年出生的繁殖母猪资料,分别选取128头杜洛克、681头长白和610头大白母猪共7280窝生产数据,统计分析不同胎次母猪的总产仔数、产活仔数、断奶仔猪数、初生窝重及校正21日龄窝重。此外,依据胎次将母猪分为3个繁殖阶段（1～2胎、3～6胎及7～8胎）来探究品种差异对母猪繁殖性能的影响。结果表明：胎次对母猪繁殖性能有显著影响（P<0.05）,母猪1～4胎的总产仔数、产活仔数、断奶仔猪数及初生窝重随胎次呈增加趋势,第4胎达到高峰,且显著高于其他胎次（P<0.05）;3～6胎繁殖性能较好,7胎之后出现迅速下降趋势;除在第4胎略有下降外,其他胎次的校正21日龄窝重随胎次递增。品种对母猪繁殖性能的影响显著（P<0.05）,长白和大白母猪的繁殖性能均极显著高于杜洛克母猪（P<0.01）;长白母猪的产活仔数和校正21日龄窝重显著高于大白母猪（P<0.05）,2个品种其他繁殖性能无显著差异（P＞0.05）。综上所述,杜洛克、长白和大白母猪的最佳繁殖胎次为3～6胎,长白猪的繁殖性能总体上优于大白猪,就本试验所在的育种场而言,长白猪可能更适合作为二元母猪生产中的母本。

Evaluating response to selection and nutritional needs in a three-way cross of rabbits

An experiment was carried out to evaluate the response obtained in a three‐way cross of rabbits when the lines involved had undergone within‐line selection for litter size or postweaning daily gain. The interaction between the level of nutrition and genetic level of the crossbreds was also studied. Using frozen embryos, old (H1) and current (H2) crossbred does and young were compared contemporarily. Does were fed a standard diet or a diet having high digestible energy and protein. The difference in the number of generations between lines used to produce both crosses were: 13 or 0 for the maternal lines, and 12 for the paternal line. The traits studied in the crossbred does were: daily feed intake during gestation, during the first 3 weeks of lactation and during the last week before weaning; doe weight at mating and at kindling; litter weight at birth and at weaning; total litter size, number born alive and litter size at weaning. The recorded traits for the young were: individual weight at weaning and at 63 days; individual daily gain after weaning; daily feed intake and feed conversion index. The last two traits were recorded as averages per cage. A total of 1161 litters from 190 does were involved. Significant differences in litter‐size traits, between H1 and H2 does, were observed and were higher than the expected from the within‐line response. The doe effect was not significant for other doe traits, adjusted to a constant litter size. The estimated difference in postweaning daily gain between H1 and H2 young was significant and in favour of H2, but the value was considerably lower than expected. The effect of type of feed and the interaction with the type of doe was not significant for any doe trait. The type of feed consumed by the doe was significant for postweaning daily gain, and the interaction with the type of crossbreds was significant for this trait and for individual weight at 63 days.     

The National Pork Producers Council Maternal Line National Genetic Evaluation Program: a comparison of six maternal genetic lines for female productivity measures over four parities

Litter (n = 8,424) and female performance records were collected in two breed-to-wean production units in order to evaluate genetic line differences for sow longevity and maternal performance over four parities. Lines evaluated were American Diamond Genetics, Danbred North America, Dekalb-Monsanto DK44, Dekalb-Monsanto GPK347, Newsham Hybrids, and National Swine Registry. Females within a line were derived from a minimum of 65 sires, 197 dams (three dams per sire), and a maximum of three daughters per dam, except in the GPK347, which were produced using semen from 12 Nebraska Index boars mated with Dekalb-Monsanto Line 34 females. All lines expressed 100% maternal heterosis. Mixed model statistical procedures were used with fixed effects including genetic line, parity, production unit, and two-way interactions. Random effects included a contemporary week of production and female for repeated records. Lactation length (average 15 d) was included as a linear covariate where appropriate. In total, 3,599 females entered as early-weaned pigs, 3,283 entered the breeding herd, 2,592 farrowed at least a single litter, and 1,656 and completed four parities. Line (P < 0.001) and parity (P < 0.001) effects were observed for virtually all traits measured. Ranges of genetic line differences averaged across parities were 1.76 pigs for total born, 1.45 pigs born alive, and 0.31 stillborn pigs per litter. Ranges of line differences in total and live litter weight were 1.4 and 1.3 kg, respectively. Ranges among lines, within Parities 1 through 4, for litter size at weaning were 0.56, 1.08, 0.91, and 0.64 pigs per litter, respectively. Line differences for weight (33.8 kg) and backfat depth (6.4 mm) at farrowing, lactation feed intake (8.7 kg), weight loss (5.0 kg), and backfat loss (0.87 mm) were observed. Extended wean-to-estrus interval was related to variation in weight, feed intake, and backfat loss in all lines except the GPK347. The GPK347 females farrowed and weaned the largest number of pigs, ate less feed in lactation, and lost more backfat and weight during lactation, yet they had the largest litters and the shortest wean-to-estrus intervals. Line x parity interactions existed for many traits due to small rank changes, but in general, the high- and low-ranked lines did not change. Genetic line differences in reproductive efficiency through four parities exist and must be recognized when choosing a female line.     

A reduction in litter size on an ontario Swine farm

In a 200 sow herd, the litter size fell from an average of 10.5 pigs born alive per litter from January to June, to an average of 9.2 for the remainder of the year. Management changes during the first part of the year resulted in half the sows weaning litters at three weeks of age and half the sows weaning at four weeks of age instead of at six weeks as was previously done. The subsequent litter size was 9.3 pigs born alive per litter for three-week weaned sows compared to 10.0 for four-week weaning. The management of gilt breeding was also altered by the necessity to breed groups of 12 gilts in one-week periods of time and therefore a higher proportion of gilts may have been mated on their first estrus instead of their second or third estrus as had been the case. The difference in litter size of first parity sows between the first six months and the second six months was 1.1 pigs. Parvovirus infection may have been a factor contributing to the reduction in litter size amongst first parity sows; two groups of first parity sows experienced an increase in mummified piglets, a reduced far rowing rate, and smaller litter size. However, no attempt was made at diagnosing an infectious agent. Parity distribution remained relatively unchanged during the year and was not associated with the drop in litter size.     

Investigation on the Production Performance of gE Antibody Positive Sows in Pig Farms Infected with Wild Type Pseudorabies Virus

Pseudorabies (PR) is caused by the Pseudorabies virus (PRV). It is an acute and hot highly contagious disease infecting livestock and a wide range of wild animals. In order to investigate the relationship between latent infection of Pseudorabies virus and sow production performance,this study collected production parameters of first-parity sows with wild virus gE positive and negtive in a Pseudorabies positive stable intensive farm, including total litter size, healthy litter size, weak litter size, stillbirths, mummified fetus, litter weight, number of weaning live, number of weaning qualified and weaning weight. And compared the production performance of PRV gE antibody negative and positive sows in the same intensive pig farm. The study showed that each PRV gE antibody negative sow could produce 11.96 live piglets per parity. Additionally, PRV gE antibody negative sow could provide more alive, weaning and weaning qualified piglets per parity than infection sows, which were 0.63, 0.18 and 0.28, respectively. Although the average birth weight and average weaning weight of piglets produced by PRV gE antibody positive sows were higher than those produced by negative sows, the weaning qualified rate of antibody negative sows was higher than that of antibody positive sows, indicating that the weaning live piglets produced by antibody negative sows had higher uniformity. In summary, the production performance of PRV gE antibody positive sows was lower than that of the negative sows. Eradication of PR can bring higher profit to the pig farm. Pig farm should actively eradicate the PR.     

伪狂犬病病毒野毒感染猪场的gE抗体阳性头胎母猪生产成绩调查

伪狂犬病（Pseudorabies，PR）是由伪狂犬病病毒（Pseudorabies virus，PRV）感染多种野生动物及家畜引起的急性、热性的高度接触性传染病。为掌握PRV隐性感染对头胎母猪生产成绩的影响，本研究跟踪调查某一PRV野毒阳性稳定万头母猪场中野毒gE抗体阴性和阳性的头胎母猪总产仔数、健仔数、弱仔数、死胎数、木乃伊胎数、仔猪初生窝重以及断奶活仔数、断奶合格仔数、仔猪断奶重等不同生产成绩指标，探索相同饲养条件下伪狂犬病对头胎母猪各生产指标的影响。结果发现，每头PRV野毒gE抗体阴性头胎母猪每窝平均可产11.96头活仔猪，比gE抗体阳性母猪每胎次多产活仔0.63头，以及每胎次可多提供0.18头断奶活仔，每胎次多提供0.28头断奶合格仔。虽然PRV野毒gE抗体阳性母猪所产仔猪初生均重及断奶均重均高于gE抗体阴性母猪所产仔猪，但gE抗体阴性母猪所产仔猪断奶合格率高于gE抗体阳性母猪，表明其断奶活仔整齐度更高。综上，PRV野毒gE抗体阳性的头胎母猪生产成绩低于gE抗体阴性母猪，伪狂犬病的净化可为猪场带来更高的经济效益，表明伪狂犬病的净化至关重要。     

Evaluation of Dorset, Finnsheep, Romanov, Texel, and Montadale breeds of sheep: I. Effects of ram breed on productivity of ewes of two crossbred populations

Effects of Dorset, Finnsheep, Romanov, Texel, and Montadale breeds for performance as sires were estimated in the initial phase of a comprehensive evaluation of these breeds as contributors to sheep crossbreeding systems. Objectives were to evaluate the effects of ram breed, ewe breed, season of mating, and two-way interactions. Rams from the five breeds were single-sire-mated with ewes from two breed types to produce lambs over a 3-yr period. Ewes were assigned to one of three distinct 35-d mating seasons initiated each year in August, October, and December. A different sample of six rams per breed was used each year across all three seasons, and each ram was penned with ewes of both breeds. Traits evaluated and number of ewe records were conception rate and litter weaning weight per ewe exposed (n = 3,261) and number born, litter birth weight, average birth weight, number weaned, and litter weaning weight per ewe lambing (n = 2,751). Ram breed and ewe breed interacted (P < .01) for conception rate and litter weaning weight per ewe exposed, implicating mating preferences, particularly of Romanov rams. In mixed groups of ewes exposed to Romanov rams, conception rate was 12.7% lower and litter weight weaned was 8.4 kg lower in the ewe breed presumably less preferred for mating by the rams. On a per ewe exposed basis, Romanov-sired litters produced either the largest or the smallest values for litter weaning weight, depending on the breed of ewe. Effects of ram breed on number born and litter birth weight interacted (P < .05) with season of mating. The largest litters within each ram breed were associated with the October mating season. Montadale and Romanov rams sired larger and heavier litters from August matings than from December matings, whereas the opposite was true for Dorset-sired litters. Texel- and Finnsheep-sired litters were similar in size and weight from August and December matings. Breed of ram differences affected per ewe lambing productivity measurements (P < .01). Differences between ram breeds for ewe productivity were noted, with increased number born and improved survival of crossbred progeny to weaning for Romanov-sired litters. These results may have implications for using these ram breeds as sires in different crossbreeding systems. Structured mating systems or the creation of new composite populations involving these breeds could be used to match the resources, environment, and market of specific production situations.
