Contributions to the study of the maternal features of the Bazna breed sows, raised and maintained as genetic stock at S.C.A. Turda (Cluj, Romania)

摘要

This study was planned to investigate the maternal features of the Bazna breed sows. The research has taken place within S.C.A. Turda (Cluj, Romania), on a group of young Bazna breed sows which descended from the breeding stock started in 1968 through the transfer from S.C.Z. Jucu (Cluj, Romania). The genetic material consisted in Bazna breed females, more precisely a batch of 25 primiparous sows and 50 multiparous sows. According to our study, most of the investigated maternal behavioral sequences proved to be hereditary and therefore the knowledge of sows’ behavior gives the specialists the chance to improve the pig breeding technology by creating a balance between the environmental conditions and the farm conditions
