Parámetros reproductivos de mayor importancia en ganadería porcina.

The aim of the bibliographic study is to analyse the main reproductive parameters of a pig production system and the factors that influence in improving the quality of commercial profitability, since the strategies that are applied contribute to obtaining excellent characteristics of the meat that will serve for the food industry and thus satisfy the population demand; therefore, to reach this objective the reproductive efficiency of the sows is fundamental. There are several indicators that allow estimating the genetic capacity of the reproductive sow, among the most relevant we have: litter size, farrowing interval and piglet mortality, which are favoured with a good selection of parents, contributing to an efficient and profitable production, so it is important that pig farmers recognise the physiology of the estrous cycle and act at the right time, with the appropriate technique according to the production system. Among the results obtained, the relevance of including the pillars of animal production in the whole production process is highlighted, among them: selecting breeding stock (replacement and first-calf) with good genetics, as well as covering the nutritional requirements in order to maximise the fertility and health of the animal. On the other hand, sanitation management is essential to prevent diseases at the reproductive and survival level of the piglets; ensuring a healthy environment, as the environment can also affect birth and mortality of the piglets. It is important that different strategies are examined to improve the parameters for optimal pig production in different environments, contributing to improve the efficiency and profitability of the pig industry.
