Abstract

In terms of reproduction, the breeding boar plays as important a role as the sow. He is involved in the genetic establishment of offspring in the same way as sows. Currently, the majority of sows are included in insemination and boars are kept at insemination stations. The care of a breeding boar has a significant effect on the manifestation of the boar’s libido, its health, condition, longevity and the production of quality semen. The article summarizes all the basic aspects of boar breeding, housing, care and nutrition.
