Not Bred????

I have about ten sows that were weaned this spring. They showed heat like normal, and were bred live cover by a boar. I have 3 boars and do not think that is the issue. Two of the boars are proven and the other one was tested for semen quality before i purchased it. All of the sows keep cycling every 21 days. None have showed bred and aborted. Heats seem normal, and I know the boar has hit the mark. Everything bred just fine this fall, but spring breeding hasn't worked with any of them. Was wondering if it is likely just a mineral imbalance or a disease we should be testing for.

Why don't you collect your boars and check it under the microscope to make sure they aren't shooting blanks? That would be the first thing I would check off the list of possible issues. That's usually the primary one!

Something I will look into doing this week can have that checked. What could cause them to become sterile? I did breed 4 of them AI and will no by Monday if they are coming back into heat.

If they are sterile the first place I would check would be your feed because molds and micro toxins can cause pigs to go sterile.

Ya was going to have the feed tested this week for mycotoxins, will this be permenant or until the feed issue is corrected?
