Abstract
A study was conducted in Large White Yorkshire
pigs maintained at Post Graduate Research
Institute in Animal Sciences, Kattupakkam,
Tamilnadu to study the influence of different
spermatozoa concentrations and season on
reproductive performance of sows. The reduction
in spermatozoa dose from 3.6 billion to 1.8
billion had no significant influence on conception
rate and farrowing rate. Treatment groups had
significant influence (P<0.05) on total number of
piglets born. Insemination dosage had no signifi
cant influence on litter size born alive and litter
size at weaning. It was observed that season had
a highly significant influence (P<0.01) on total
number of piglets born, litter size born alive and
litter size at weaning.
