QUALITY SERVED GILTS AVAILABLE

SELECTION OF A BREEDING GILT⁣.

It is very important to select a good gilt since it contributes half the quality of the herd. Points to consider while selecting breeding Gilt:⁣

• Gilts selected to have at least 12 teats so as to accommodate a large litter⁣
• Gilts to be selected from sows, which wean at least 9 piglets per litter and are known to be good mothers and first farrowing at one year of age and farrowing interval of seven month.⁣
• Select breeding gilts at weaning period, further selection should be done 5-6 months of age.⁣
• Select fast growing weaners. These will likely consume less feed per unit live weight gain. Thus less costly to keep.⁣
• Select gilts which have developed hams and comparatively light heads.⁣
• The selected gilts should have good body confirmation i.e. strong legs, sound feet etc.⁣
• Gilt should not be select for breeding purpose if having supernumerary and inverted teats, and fat deposited at the base of the teats⁣
• Gilt must be at least 8 months old at first service.⁣
