Early embryonic survival in the pig: Can it be improved?

2002-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Abstract A major limitation for increasing litter size in swine is embryonic loss that occurs during the 2nd to 3rd wk of gestation. High ovulation rates of modern sows have more than supplied the potential number of embryos necessary to improve litter size. The current challenge is determining how early conceptus development affects the ability to maintain the viability through the remaining 90 d of gestation to...
