Hypor Weaning Capacity
Heavy pigs at weaning improve:
Growth, Efficiency and Carcass Value
One of the key principles of the Weaning Capacity approach to genetic selection is that the focus on quality and consistency of the weaned pig provides the potential for fast, lean efficient growth after weaning. Both research and commercial experience demonstrate a clear relationship between weaning weight and growth rate to market. Also, faster growing pigs are more efficient converters of feed and deposit lean tissue faster, resulting in better carcass quality and a higher value per pig sold. More

An optimum weight after farrowing for gilts?: Heavier gilts, is there a benefit? Sows usually mobilize some tissue and lose some weight in lactation. But if too much weight is lost, performance will decline. My research at the University of Alberta indicated that first-litter sows can lose about 9 percent of their body protein with little effect on performance. Losses greater than this level result in reduced milk production and reproductive performance...
Feeding and Feed Strategies to Achieve High Prolific Sow Herds : Primiparous sows are the problem category in most sow herds. Field data analyses show that these sows have the highest risk of a rpolonged weaning to estrus interval. Therefore a lot of these sows are treated with cycle stimulating hormones like PG600, sometimes even as a standard at the day of weaning
