Do gilts predominately have less numbers the sows. I had a gilt that looked big enough to have 15 but only had 7. I don't understand

If you are AI"ing it could be that you caught her either a little early or late.

Gilts do typically have slightly smaller litters than sows. And she may look bigger than a sow with the same size litter because she has a smaller body to start with.
