The Czech Republic ranks among the developed European countries at the level of pig reproduction indicators. Despite reduction in sows during 2018, there was practically identical number of born piglets as in 2017. This confirms the dynamics of improving reproduction indicators, reflecting intense breeding work and increasing selection pressure in pig breeding. An increasing number of piglets in the litter is associated with a number of problems, including low birth weight, low uniformity of litter and increased piglet mortality. Therefore, strategies are required to help us reduce losses and optimize high-litter breeding. There are higher demands on breeding, technology and management and require increased care for sows and piglets after delivery. In today's high-fertile sows, it is advisable to use modern technologies that are adapted to the body's framework, behavior, and production intensity.
