Techniques developed for the control of estrus, ovulation and parturition in the East German pig industry: a review.
Huhn U. | Jochle W. | Brussow K.P.
Centralized administration of the nationalized pig industry in the former German Democratic Republic (East Germany), promoted wide-scale use of assisted reproduction of pigs. The objective was to synchronize reproductive events such as estrus, ovulation, breeding and parturition in a way that would allow for quick penetration of desirable genetic information by timed artificial insemination and the routine use of hygienic measures. Methods developed to control these events were based on extensive basic and applied research, but the resulting pool of unique scientific information was heretofore not published in refereed journals in the English language. We present here a comprehensive review of biotechnological procedures and physiological insights gained by basic and applied research and by their application at the large pig production units.
