8. PIC Symposium 2011 | Nashville, TN How Did They Maintain PWM With Higher Litter Size ? Have a good team in place Assisting farrowings. Make sure day-1 care is always there Provide right environment to newborn piglets Implement an effective colostrum management process Keep sows healthy and have a good start Keep piglets healthy Set litters consciously, according to every sow capacity and history Have a good plan to use nurse sows Designated creep area for piglets Heat lamp management Current trials showing some other management practices that can take the system to a level of less than 8% PWM Did the same better

11.

12. PIC Symposium 2011 | Nashville, TN What Innovation will Occur in the Next 5 Years Strategies for Reproduction: Sow Farm Crate Size Continued Improvement of Pig Quality Hovers, other Technologies Improve Teat Quality/Milk Production Discipline and Implementation-Human Factor

13. PIC Symposium 2011 | Nashville, TN Get Creative For instance, this device prevent laid ons by blowing cold air into the creep area when the dam is getting down. 1.Innovative ideas - not so much have been done in this department so new ideas to explore are welcome

14. PIC Symposium 2011 | Nashville, TN What improvements have been made in the last 10 years? Boar Stud 1. Accuracy of semen concentration 2. Assessment of sperm 3. Confidence in boar studs Not much change in semen concentration and utilization of boars…

15. PIC Symposium 2011 | Nashville, TN Semen Concentration Trial Objective: Use lower semen concentration and improve the use of genetically superior boars Used a stud with terminals that was pooling semen at 3.25 billion viable Materials and Methods: –Boars were used at 2 billion cells with traditional AI for 50 ss matings –100 matings per week at 2 sow farms –Identify poor fertility boars based on performance –Remove these boars from the herd
