We conducted a cross-sectional study at two sites in the Philippines to obtain baseline information about the reproductive performance of smallholder sows, and to identify important constraints and opportunities for smallholder pig raisers. Using an interview-based questionnaire, we collected data about 99 (with 128 sows) and 123 (144) herds at the northern and southern study sites, respectively. A range of animal- and herd-level measures of sow productivity were assessed, including average interfarrowing interval (9.7 and 6.6 mo in herds at the northern and southern sites, respectively), number of liveborn piglets (8.5 and 8.4) and preweaning mortality (19.0% and 12.8%). We have identified a number of animal- and herd-level factors associated with the productivity of smallholder sows in the Philippines, including aspects of breeding and piglet management and nutrition.
我们在菲律宾的两个地点开展了一项横断面研究，以获取有关小农户母猪繁殖性能的基线信息，并确定小农户养猪户面临的重要制约因素和机遇。我们使用基于访谈的问卷，分别收集了北部和南部研究地点99个（共128头母猪）和123个（144头）猪群的数据。评估了一系列母猪生产力的动物和猪群层面指标，包括平均产仔间隔（北部和南部地点猪群分别为9.7个月和6.6个月）、活产仔猪数（8.5头和8.4头）以及断奶前死亡率（19.0%和12.8%）。我们确定了一些与菲律宾小农户母猪生产力相关的动物和猪群层面因素，包括繁殖、仔猪管理和营养方面。
