Abstract
Objectives. To estimate the lifetime non-productive days (NPD), lifetime proportion of NPD (%NPD) and non-productive days per sow per year (NPD/Y), and to determine the effect of herd and sow level factors on the traits here studied in three pig farms in the Mexican tropics. Materials and methods. Data from 6703 sows from three commercial farms were used. The model that described the traits studied comprise the fixed effects of farm, year and season of first farrowing, age at first parity, reasons of removal of sows, year x season interaction and the residual error. Results. The means for lifetime NPD, %NPD and NPD/Y were 64 days, 12.0% and 39.3 days, respectively. All fixed factors had significant effects (p<0.01) on the characteristics evaluated. Sows having their first parity at an old age and sows culled because of reproductive reasons had the highest lifetime NPD. In addition, sows culled at first parity had lower lifetime NPD and higher %NPD than sows culled in subsequent farrowing. Conclusions. The early culling of sows increased the percentage of non-productive days, which in turn is expected to reduce the profit of farms.
期刊介绍:
The Journal MVZ Córdoba is an open access international scientific journal financed and edited by the University of Córdoba (Colombia). The journal publishes quarterly, continuously in PDF, XML, Epub, original articles, literature reviews, brief communications and clinical cases, peer-reviewed (double-blind) in Spanish and English, which are related to the agricultural and veterinary sciences. The journal is directed to natural and legal persons of veterinary medicine, animal husbandry, public health, epidemiology, aquaculture, biology, basic biomedical sciences and biotechnology and constitutes a space for academic and scientific discussion around the work of professionals in Veterinary Medicine and Zootechnics. Four-monthly publication.
"The Journal MVZ Córdoba supports the policies for registration of clinical trials of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), since it recognizes the importance of these initiatives for international registration and dissemination. of information about clinical studies, in open access. As a result, since 2007, the journal MVZ Córdoba only publishes clinical research articles that have received an identification number in one of the Clinical Trial Registries validated by the criteria established by WHO and ICMJE, whose addresses are available in the ICMJE website. The identification number is recorded at the end of the summary. "
