High-performing farms exploit reproductive potential of high and low prolific sows better than low-performing farms
Abstract Background Our objective was to examine the impact of farm effects and sow potential on various aspects of sow performance. We examined the interaction between sow prolificacy groups categorized at parity 1 and farm productivity groups for reproductive performance across parities, and lifet...
