The effect of repeated mating at short intervals on reproductive performance of gilts. 1985

J Mah, and J E Tilton, and G L Williams, and J N Johnson, and M J Marchello

Three trials involving 87 gilts were completed to investigate the role of additional sexual stimulation on various reproductive parameters. Forty-five gilts were mated twice at 12-h intervals at second pubertal estrus with intact boars beginning 12 h after detection of sexual receptivity (control group). Forty-two gilts were exposed to a vasectomized boar 15 min following each fertile mating to provide additional copulatory stimulus (treatment group). This additional exposure improved (P less than .01) conception rate (100 vs 84%). No statistical differences were observed in number of corpora lutea (CL), number of viable embryos (VE) or number of total embryos (TE) at d 30. These results suggest that additional mating stimuli may have a beneficial effect on conception rate. While the use of additional males resulted in more pregnant females, it likely did not have an effect on litter size.
