“…Actually, the FUT1 gene has been determined as a candidate gene for the Escherichia coli F18 receptor locus (MEIJERINK et al, 1997) and an association with oedema disease, diarrhea, and thus an association with animal health was severalfold observed. Because animal health is strongly attended with fecundity, FUT1 could also serve as a candidate gene for litter size in swine (HORÁK et al, 2005). Concerning estrogen receptors, there are at least two different classes, and MUÑOZ et al (2004) mapped the estrogen receptor 2 (ESR2) gene at the telomeric end on the q arm of SSC1 in contrast to the ESR1 gene, which is located at the telomeric end on the p arm of SSC1.…”

“…One marker, which is used in commercial pig production, is the estrogen receptor gene 1 (ESR1), and ROTHSCHILD et al (1996) were the first who observed an association between ESR1 genotypes and litter size in swine. However, so far, there are a lot of inconsistent studies with regard to influence on the ESR1 gene on fecundity parameters in swine (SHORT et al, 1997;DEPUYDT et al, 1999;DRÖGEMÜLLER et al, 1999;KMIEĆ et al, 2002;GIBSON et al, 2002; VAN RENS and VAN DER LENDE, 2002;MATOUŠEK et al, 2003;GOLIÁŠOVÁ and WOLF, 2004;HORÁK et al, 2005;HOROGH et al, 2005;WANG et al, 2006). Therefore, additional candidate genes with potential influence on litter size are studied.…”

Analysis of association of GPX5, FUT1 and ESR2 genotypes with litter size in a commercial pig cross population

et al. 2006

The aim of this study was to investigate, if special genotypes of the genes glutathione peroxidase 5 (GPX5), fucosyltransferase 1 (FUT1) and estrogen receptor 2 (ESR2) are associated with litter size in a commercial pig cross population. For this purpose, a total of 123 F 2 sows were divided into two extreme performance groups, one with a high litter size (n = 61, ≥ 14.3 piglets per litter) and one with a low litter size (n = 62, ≤ 11.3 piglets per litter) and genotyped using PCR-RFLP methods. The Chi-square test was used in order to investigate, if a special genotype occurs significantly more often in one of the two performance groups (p < 0.05). Whereas no association was found between different ESR2 or GPX5 genotypes with one of the two performance groups, the number of sows with AB genotypes at the FUT1 gene was significantly increased in the high performance group in comparison to the low performance group.

“…Matoušek (2013) reported that the sows of PBP should reach 11 live-born piglets and 9.6 reared piglets per litter. Horák et al (2005) found 11.84 piglets in total, 10.88 live-born and 9.44 reared piglets per litter in PBP sows. It is evident from the achieved results, that the reproductive performance increased up to the 4th parity, which corresponds to the results described by Whittemore (2006), who state that fertility grows up to the 4th litter and then continuously drops.…”

The aim of the study was to evaluate reproductive performance in selected sows of Prestice Black-Pied pig included in Czech genetic resources and also to analyse losses of piglets and culling of sows according to parity order. The experimental work was conducted in a nucleic herd of sows registered in breeding book. A total of 88 sows were included in the observation. Findings indicate that productive parameters of Prestice Black-Pied sows are comparable to productive parameters of modern genotype sows. The results also showed that the highes conception rate after the first insemination was achieved after the second, the third and the fourth parity. Analysis of gestation length revealed that it was significantly influenced by the parity. Very highly significant difference (P<0.001) was found between the 1st and the 2nd parity and between the 1st and the 4th parity. Total numbers of piglets and numbers live-born, stillborn and reared piglets per litter increased significantly (P<0.001, P<0.01, P<0.05) up to the 4th parity, afterwards they continuously decreased. The number of stillborn piglets was the lowest at the 2nd parity, the highest at the 5th and the 6th parity (P<0.05). Length of interval was highly significantly different (P<0.01) between the 2nd and the 5th parity and significantly different (P<0.05) between the 4th and the 5th parity. Differences in the losses of piglets were not significant among parities. The most radical culling of sows was recorded after the 3rd and the 4th parity.

“…It was recognized as a distinct breed in 1964, and since 1996 it has been bred in a closed population. Within that population, genetic markers in association with reproduction traits (Horák et al 2004, Horák et al 2005 and gene polymorphisms associated with meat performance traits (Zrůstová et al 2009) have been studied, but until recently semen quality had not been evaluated. Therefore, the objective of this study, conducted over a test period from 2001 to 2009, was to examine the semen quality parameters of the Přeštice black-pied breed while taking into account the potential effects of collection month and boar age.…”

The objective of this study was to examine semen quality parameters for the Přeštice black-pied breed over a test period of 8 years while considering the potential effects of collection month and boar age. Ninety-nine ejaculates were collected using the gloved-hand technique from healthy and fertile mature boars from selected farms. Ejaculate volumes were relatively low because the boars were accustomed to natural mating. Sperm motility, sperm concentration, percentage of morphologically abnormal spermatozoa (MAS), and sperm motility after 24 h of storage in Androhep extender (dilution rate 1:1.5) were assessed. Significant differences were found in sperm concentration and MAS rate in relation to collection months and boar age in the monitored years (P<0.05). A tendency for MAS to increase with monitored years was observed. Significant differences in sperm motility and motility after 24 h of storage were only observed in relation to collection months (P<0.05). Results of this study detected effects due to collection month and boar age on boar semen quality during the monitored years.Keywords: boar, sperm quality parameters, Přeštice black-pied pig Zusammmenfassung Qualität des Eberspermas des Prešticer Schwarzbunten Schweins (Kurzmitteilung)Ziel dieser Studie war es, die Spermaqualität von Ebern des Prešticer Schwarzbunten Schweins über einen Zeitraum von acht Jahren zu analysieren. Neunundneunzig Ejakulate wurden mittels Handschuhtechnik von gesunden und fruchtbaren Ebern gewonnen. Das Ejakulatvolumen war relativ gering, weil die Eber an natürliche Paarung gewohnt waren. Bewertet wurden die Beweglichkeit der Spermien, die Spermakonzentration und der Prozentsatz der morphologisch abnormalen Spermatozoen (MAS) sowie die Beweglichkeit der Spermien nach 24 Stunden im Spermaverdünner Androhep (Verdünnung 1:1.5). Im Beobachtungszeitraum wurden signifikante Unterschiede (P<0.05) in der Spermakonzentration und im MAS-Anteil in Beziehung zu den Entnahmemonaten und dem Eberalter festgestellt. In laufe der Jahre wurde eine steigende Zahl von MAS im Ebersperma des Prešticer Schwarzbunten Schweins beobachtet. Signifikante Unterschiede (P<0.05) bei der Beweglichkeit der Spermien und der Beweglichkeit der Spermien nach 24 Stunden wurden nur in Beziehung zu den Entnahmemonaten beobachtet. Die Studie zeigt, dass im Beobachtungszeitraum die Spermaqualität vom Entnahmemonat und dem Eberalter beeinflusst wurde. Archiv Tierzucht 54 (2011) 4, 374-380, ISSN 0003-9438
