Abstract

No negative impact of a high growth rate from birth till the end of the field test on the onset of oestrus and on the conception rate of gilts was found when analysing a large data set of performance-tested Czech Large White and Czech Landrace gilts. This is in agreement with the results of other investigations both in the Czech Republic and in further countries. These studies even show that a high growth rate accelerates in general the onset of the sexual maturity of gilts and decreases their age at first farrowing.
