Abstract
The number of female swine which do not settle in producer's herds, both purebred and commercial, is thought to be at least 10%. Controlled studies at experimental stations indicate that this figure may be to low. Unconfirmed reports from several mid-west experimental stations indicate that between 20 and 30% of the female swine bred to farrow in the spring of 1950 failed to farrow. Approximately 30% of the gilts and sows bred in the South Dakota State College Swine Farm in the fall of 1949 failed to farrow, Also a considerable number of gilts which were to be bred were never observed to be in estrus during the breeding season. These gilts consequently were never bred during that breeding season.
