Count Me In!
Below are pictures of Zian’s backyard swine production. He just started this venture and you are going to help him classify
(sow, boar, gilt or piglets) and record its pieces in a group. Are you ready? One has done for you. Start now.

D. Development (Time Frame: ________)
STOCKS TO BE WHAT TO DO
CONSIDERED: STOCKS
Boar Count the number of boars the farm has
Sow Count the number of sows the farm has
Served Gilt Count the number of gilts that has been mated already
Unserved Gilt Count the number of gilts that are ready to be mated
Piglets Count the number of piglets the farm has
No. Of Breeders This will be recorded when the breeders are being purchased and will be consolidated on
Purchased the following month on the number of sow and boar.
Newborn Piglets These are the number of newborn piglets in a month. This will be recorded on the following
month as addition to the number of piglets the farm has.
Culls Culls are the number of sows, boar, piglet, or gilt that did not meet the standard for
production and so these stocks are being sold.
Death Count the number of deaths of sow, gilt, boar, and piglet
Services Count the number of services or breeding being made in a month with a gilt and sow.
Litter Count the number of litters the farm has. This refers to the number of farrowing the farm has.
IV. LEARNING PHASES AND LEARNING ACTIVITIES
GILT BREEDING DESCRIPTION
SCHEDULE
ACTIVITIES
Gilt Maturity Check To check the maturity of the gilt, one must take observance of the target age which is 7-8 months,
the appropriate weight which is 300 pounds (136kg) and the period of maturity which exposes the
second and third estrus and the ample backfat.
Heat Check Gilts must have shown the swelling of vulva and other behavioral patterns which has been discussed
in the previous lesson on fertility check.
Boar Identification Boar is one great factor in producing productive and healthy offspring, so, the suitable boar for
breeding is the one that is 9 months onward, with high libido and having a relax temper.
Breeding - First This must be done after observing a positive response of the gilt or sow to the presence of boar on
Service their back. If the test has been done in the morning the first service must be in the afternoon. If the
test has been done in the afternoon the first service must be done in the following morning.
Breeding – Second The second service of breeding must be done within the 24-hour time after the first service. If the first
Service service has been done in the morning, the second service must be in the afternoon of the same
day. If the first service is done in the afternoon, the second service must be on the following morning.
Pregnancy Check This will be done after 21 days from the second breeding service.

Mating management
 The general rule is that a young boar should not be used for service until he is at least 28–30 weeks of age.
 Recommended frequency of mating, and semen collection.
Age of Boar
Frequency of Mating or Semen Collection
Natural Mating
AI
8-12 months
Once daily but not more than 4 times a week
Once a week
12 months or older
Twice daily but not more 6 times a week.
Twice a week
Breeding Performance Evaluation
To evaluate the efficiency of the technology, everything needs to be recorded and interpreted appropriately such as motility
index, number of sows bred, percent conception rate, farrowing rate and total litter size should be monitored.
Expected lifetime performance of boars used for AI and for natural breeding.

Mating Performance of Boar

Recycling
After breeding you must monitor the females daily and note if discharge or abortion occurs. Often sows and gilts will not
become pregnant and return to heat again. It occurs on average 21 days after mating (range 17-25 days).
Farrowing is the act of giving birth.
Farrowing Performance Record One of the greatest effects on profitability is the number of piglets reared per sow per year.
The sow must have the ability to rear large, healthy litters to improve the production characteristics of her progeny
General characteristics of sow/gilt during farrowing at birth:
1. The number, size, shape and placement of teats
2. It should be large, without sign of infantilism, and free of the ‘fish hook’ appearance found in hermaphrodites.
3. It possess strong legs and feet, deep and squareness body, well-sprung ribs.
4. It should be quiet but alert and active.
5. Selected gilts should be exposed to a mature boar for 20 minutes daily.
IV. LEARNING PHASES AND LEARNING ACTIVITIES
E. Engagement (Time Frame: _________)
Updating
Direction: Fill out the form using the text below.
On January 1, 2020, Zian started his swine production with only 1 sow, 2 served gilts, 2 unserved gilts and 1 boar. On the
following month, he bought 2 sows and a boar. His first sow farrowed with sixteen piglets! In that same month he has served
one unserved gilt. On the third month, his one unserved gilt was culled due to its inability to show estrus while his boar died.

Direction: Complete the template below by filling out the necessary entries of each based on the selection below.
Mario Barron has a swine farm. His gilt is named Koron, a Landrace breed, with #032 swine ID born last January 10, 2019.
During its 226 days, it weighed 136kg with adequate backfat. On August 26, 2019, it was observed to have its third estrus
cycle. August 28, 2019 in the morning it was being tried to be bred by the chosen matured boar and it was positive. Koron
then had the first service at 4:00 in the afternoon and succeeded on the following day at 7:00 am. Mario then waited for 21
days to ensure that Koron is indeed pregnant and it was so.

A. Assimilation (Time Frame: _________)

Direction: Base on your community production, make a breeding record performance
