MEISHAN

22
Q

◼Some hybrid pigs available in the country are Hypor, ____

A

Nieuw Dalland, Seghers, Camborough, JSR and Topigs.

23
Q

____ sows are claimed to be: prolific; have better fertility; have bigger and more uniform litter; and have heavier piglets at birth.

A

Hybrid

24
Q

____ pigs are claimed to be: outstanding in terms of growth rate, feed conversion efficiency and carcass quality.

A

Slaughter hybrid

25
Q

it is a method of breeding where A boar is used to serve the gilts/sow that are in heat

A

Natural Breeding

26
Q

what are the two types of natural breeding

A

a. Hand or Controlled Mating – the boar is brought to the sow or the sow to the boar

b. Pen or pasture mating - the boar is mixed with a number of females during the breeding season.

27
Q

what method of breeding
◼This is less laborious and involves fewer costs in housing and equipment.
◼The lack of recording and over-usage of boars are possible disadvantages of this method.

A

Pen or pasture mating

28
Q

what method of breeding
▪ The farmer is certain whether the sow or gilt was bred or not.
▪ Farrowing can be scheduled.
▪ Use of the boar is controlled.
▪ The farmer can keep track of the boar and sow record.
▪ The farmer can determine which animals to cull.

A

Hand or Controlled Mating

29
Q

it is a method of breeding wherein the
semen of the boar is deposited into the gilt/sow by the use of artificial
penis or catheter. The main objective is to increase the use of good
boars.

A

Artificial Insemination (AI)

30
Q

what are the 4 systems of breeding

A

INBREEDING

UPGRADING

PURE BREEDING

CROSSBREEDING

31
Q

This involved mating of individuals that are closely related to each other by ancestry.

Example:
Father x Daughter
Son x Mother
Brother x Sister

A

INBREEDING

32
Q

The adverse effect of inbreeding is generally termed as

A

Inbreeding depression

33
Q

Inbreeding depression can be any of the following: (6)

A

a) reduction in the strength and vigor of piglets;
b) decreased in the number of piglets born or weaned;
c) decreased in the weight of piglets at birth and weaning;
d) sterility and abortion;
e) retardation and physiologic immaturity; and,
f) occurrence of abnormalities such as hernias and cryptorchidism

34
Q

◼Is a system of breeding wherein an inferior breed is improved by continued crossing. It is commonly used among native breeds. The native breeds are usually crossed with exotic breeds of swine.

Example:
Native breed x Duroc
Native breed x Large White
Native breed x Landrace

A

UPGRADING

35
Q

is the mating of two purebred animals of the same breed.

◼Example: Landrace x Landrace

A

PURE BREEDING

36
Q

is mating of two individuals belonging to different breeds. This is being practiced to take advantage of heterosis or hybrid vigor and to elicit the desirable characteristics of parental breeds.

Example:
Landrace x Large White
Duroc x Landrace

A

CROSSBREEDING

37
Q

◼This is a modification of three-breed crossbreeding where a carefully selected third breed (purebred) is introduced as a terminal sire on the two two-breed crossbred sows.
◼This is the most practical and popular scheme for the production of slaughter pigs.
◼A crossbred boar (Duroc x Pietrain) may also be used as a terminal sire for the production of slaughter pigs.

A

PRODUCTION OF TRIPLE CROSS PIGS

38
Q

-is one of the most important aspects in starting a pig farm.

-ensures the choice of the best animal for reproduction.

◼Most of the productive and reproductive traits are greatly influenced by the kind of breeding stocks of the herd.

A

SELECTION

39
Q

BASES OF STOCK SELECTION

A
  1. Physical
    ▪ Strong legs, long body, good body conformation, etc.
  2. Performance
    ▪ Good mothering ability, ADG, less backfat thickness, etc.
  3. Pedigree selection
    ▪ selection based on ancestry
40
Q

will guide the animal husbandman
on which traits should be developed in the farm based on its
objective.

A

ECONOMICALLY IMPORTANT TRAITS

41
Q

what are the economically important traits (5)

A

SOW PRODUCTIVITY

GROWTH

FEED EFFICIENCY

CARCASS TRAITS

STRUCTURAL SOUNDNESS

42
Q

▪ Retention of one or both testicles

A

◼Cryptorchidism

43
Q

this inherited defect has two types
▪ Umbilical
▪ Scrotal

A

◼Hernias
