Keywords:

In recent years, there have been significant developments in the way that pigs are bred. This is primarily as a result of a shift in focus from production traits, such as meat quality, to other traits such as improved feed efficiency, reproductive performance and disease resistance. In light of this shift, a greater understanding of reproduction efficiency in pigs is required.

Advances in pig breeding and reproduction provides a comprehensive overview of the key research undertaken in these important areas and considers how reproduction efficiency can be optimised to achieve the desired breeding outcomes. The book also addresses recent advances in understanding how genetics can be engineered to breed pigs with an improved resistance to major diseases affecting pigs, such as porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus.

  • Provides a comprehensive assessment of the major developments in global pig breeding programmes
  • Considers how genetics and breeding can be utilised to improve the sustainability and reduce the environmental impact of pork production
  • Reviews the factors which can affect the reproductive efficiency of boars and sows, focussing on those that can impact semen quality and reproductive performance respectively


This collection provides a comprehensive review of the wealth of research on recent developments in pig breeding, including the shift from a primary focus on production traits to traits encompassing improved feed efficiency and disease resistance. The book also considers advances in understanding and optimising reproduction efficiency in pigs.

Dr Jason Ross is the Lloyd L. Anderson Endowed Professor in Physiology and the Chair of the Department of Animal Science at Iowa State University, USA. Prior to serving as the department chair, Professor Ross was the Director of the Iowa Pork Industry Center, supporting one of the leading pork-producing states in the USA through Extension and applied research. Professor Ross is internationally-known for his research on swine reproductive physiology for which he has received a number of awards.
