Development of a methodology to describe udder conformation in sows.

Animal : an international journal of animal bioscience - 1 Mar 2016

Balzani A, Cordell H J, Edwards S A

Abstract excerpt

The aim of this study was to develop a methodology to measure sow udder conformation to use in studying the correlation between udder traits and piglet survival, health and performance. The steps in the investigation were (i) to assess the repeatability of measures, (ii) to determine if there was an important difference between the two sides of the udder, (iii) to assess the extent of variation between sows, and...
