dc.description.abstractA study was conducted in Large White Yorkshire pigs maintained at Post Graduate Research Institute in Animal Sciences, Kattupakkam, Tamilnadu to study the influence of season and different spermatozoa concentrations on productive performance of sows. The mean birth weight was significantly higher (P<0.01) in diluted semen group with spermatozoa dose of 1.8 billion (1.34 ± 0.02 kg) compared to natural service group (1.27 ± 0.02 kg), neat semen group (1.21 ± 0.02 kg) and diluted semen group with spermatozoa dose of 3.6 billion (1.30 ± 0.02 kg). Similarly, treatment groups had significant influence (P<0.01) on weaning weight. However, the litter weight at birth and weaning did not show any significant influence between the treatment groups. Piglets of diluted semen group with spermatozoa dose of 1.8 billion had highest weaning weight compared to the other three groups. The difference in pre-weaning weight gain was found to be highly significant between the four treatment groups with highest gain in diluted semen group with spermatozoa dose of 1.8 billion (188.49 ± 4.10 g/day) due to smaller litter size. Season had a highly significant influence (P<0.01) on birth weight, litter weight at birth and litter weight at weaning. The highest litter weight at weaning was recorded during farrowing at summer (74.57 ± 2.39 kg), followed by rainy season (62.88 ± 1.93 kg). It was observed that season had no influence on weaning weight, pre-weaning weight gain and pre-weaning mortality rate in piglets.en_US
