20 Pages
Author(s): Ass Prof Roy Kirkwood, Dr William van Wettere
The purpose of this research was to determine if measures of plasma anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) at weaning and at 20 weeks of age, together with high (>12 piglets) and low (<9 piglets) birth and suckled litter sizes, can identify gilts that will have a greater propensity to reach puberty at an earlier age.
