Abstract

Crossbred sows of Tamworth X Desi breed were treated with PGF2a and/ or oxytocin either on day
111 of gestation or after the birth of first piglet. Weaning was performed either on day 48 or 56 and the
sows were mated during the first and subsequent estrus postweaning. Farrowing interval was significantly
shorter in all the treabnent groups as compared to control. The interval was apparently shorter in the
group of sows where weaning was practiced on day 48 as compared to 56.
