32—Lancaster Farming. Saturday. March 7.1970 Are Sows Being Overfed? (Continued from Page 29) Formaldehyde and fumigating should follow the washdown. "Breeding research, like building research, is very time consuming and expensive,” Younkin said He added that funds arc no longer even avail able for the breeding farm the University did have. He explained that sows aver age Sboul 20 eggs, but have an average litter of only 10 “What happened to the other 10? With proper research, maybe we could average 15 to 16 pigs, or at least 12. Hog producers selecting the best gilts should look first at the gilts’ mothers, “Tot, many times meatiness has been put at the top. A couple of breeds that put top emphasis on meatiness are in trouble.” Sassy Sows Bad traits will be passed on from one generation of sows to the next, he indicated. “If mothers are sassy or if you can’t get in the pen with them, get rid of them. If it takes them two or three days to farrow, get rid of them. It’s the sow that you never had any trouble with that you should keep." While the mother is the guid ing factor in selecting a gilt, the boar should be judged large ly on meatiness, Younkm said. He showed slides of hog car casses to explain that the ratio of meat to fat can vary greatly in hogs. But he noted that packers pay only a slight dif fernce for the much greater proportion of meat That’s one of the things wrong with the hog business, he said. The boar is the key factor in meatiness over a long-term breeding period He explained that if a good meaty boar is bred to a good sow, pigs in the resulting litter will contain half of the traits from the sire and half from the sow. The gilts that are a product of that litter, he said, then are bred to another meaty boar, with the resulting litter having 75 per cent of the traits, in this case meatiness. When the gilts of that litter are then bred to another meaty board, 87.5 per cent of the de sired meatiness traits will have been passed on. Efficient Reproduction To receive the most efficiency in swine reproduction, two things must be done. These, Younkin said, are limiting feeding and using cross breeding. By limiting feeding to sows being farrowed, more pigs can be saved, pigs are stronger and the sows are better milkers. Cross breeding provides sev eral advantages First, research has shown that an average of 1.5 pigs per litter moie can be weaned. Second, the pigs are stronger and grow faster Third, the sows milk better. Not Meatiness By cross breeding, however, the swine producer will not ef fect meatiness or feed efficien cy. These traits he said, will not be passed on just because of cross breeding. They are passed along in any breeding program. Environmental Stress Another major point in his address concerned environ mental stress on the sow. According to Younkm, stress must be kept from the sow 21-30 days after she has been bred After that the sow is pretty hardy, he stated Heat, noise, movement, cold and nutritional deficiencies will showing that the greatest loss have the most effect, and can of newborn pigs is within the even cause the sow to absorb first two days. *° f l *- 0 !!.!!?- Bnd thcrcforc An Illinois study showed that not produce pigs. the grcn i C st death rate came Temperatures of 90 degrees the first dayi wilh 2 e per cent or more have the most effect, of thosc that d j e d being lost he said, and efforts should be then.

Younkin discounted the use also told swine producers of artificial insemination for that the farrowed pigs fought smaller breeders at this point in t° r social position three to four research.
