Barend van Zadelhoff Dec 17, 2015:
Als je dit of dat doet dan:

"betere bevruchtingsresultaten- duidelijkere bronstsymptomen-minder herlopers"

In meer gevallen zullen zeugen dus in één keer drachtig worden.

Als het bij de eerste keer niet lukt bij een of meer zeugen zullen die zeugen opnieuw bronstsymptomen gaan vertonen /opnieuw 'loops' worden /get in heat again / waarna ze opnieuw bevrucht kunnen / moeten worden


Maar dit kost tijd en geld.


Barend van Zadelhoff Dec 17, 2015:
Een ander manier om dit uit te leggen

"betere bevruchtingsresultaten- duidelijkere bronstsymptomen-
minder herlopers"

"betere bevruchtingsresultaten- duidelijkere bronstsymptomen-
minder gevallen waarin er opnieuw bevrucht/geïnsemineerd/gedekt moet worden

Er zijn meer gevallen waarin het in één keer raak is.

Dat willen varkenshouders uiteraard, zo veel mogelijk gevallen waarin er niet opnieuw hoeft te worden bevrucht, dat is namelijk zeer bevorderlijk voor de productie.

Opnieuw bevruchten betekent langer wachten op het volgende toom biggen.
katerina turevich (asker) Dec 17, 2015:
repeat matings refers to matings between the same sire and dam, they may take place at long intervals, they may sometimes fail due to some factors, but they wouldn't be repeated if they weren't successful at some point.

what you are all saying is perhaps "failed fertilization/rut"?

pseudocopulation or false mating ? - I'm just thinking aloud
Michael Beijer Dec 17, 2015:
I wonder if the term "repeat matings" might not also be correct. Seems to be used in the industry.
Michael Beijer Dec 17, 2015:
@Barend: Precisely.
Barend van Zadelhoff Dec 17, 2015:
Katerina It means that the fertilization was not successful and that you have to wait until the sow gets in heat again.

When it gets in heat again you can opt for another fertilization.
katerina turevich (asker) Dec 17, 2015:
Ah, Ok, Thanks!

second try means on the same day/during the same period?
or does it mean that the interval between two possible fertilizations/ heat periods is longer than desired?
Michael Beijer Dec 17, 2015:
something like Betere bevruchtingsresultaten- duidelijkere bronstsymptomen-minder herlopers =
Better fertilisation results, clearer heat/rutting symptoms, less second tries
katerina turevich (asker) Dec 17, 2015:
Dus, 1e bronst na kalven is uitgesteld

OK, it works. the goal is to have as few of these cows unsuitable for fertilization as possible.
Michael Beijer Dec 17, 2015:
not sure what it means in this context ...

get in heat again

less sows will get in heat again

In more cases things 'will work immediately' :-)


Katerina, wat hier wordt bedoeld, is dat er in die situatie minder zeugen opnieuw 'loops' zullen worden, hoewel, dacht ik, bij zeugen de meer correcte term 'berig' is.

Minder zeugen zullen dus opnieuw 'loops' worden.
Vergelijk 'loopse hond'.

herloper = een zeug die 'opnieuw loops wordt


Er is een middel voor een zeug. Je varken is niet loops maar berig. Bij de dierenarts kan je regumate kopen. Om het gedrag tegen te gaan. Een nadeel is wel dat het varken hetzindelijkheid vergeet. Je moet het door het voer heen doen. GrLydia en Justin.

>Ik heb mijn varkentje zo ongeveer 5 maanden, ze is nu denk ik 8 maanden oud en begint vreemd gedrag te tonen.
> Ik denk zelf dat ze "loops is", ze loopt constant achter mij aan, spring op mij, duwt mij... ik krijg er blauwe plekken van op mijn benen!Ze is hierin ook niet te corrigeren, ze toont dit gedrag nu 2 dagen...
>Is ze echt loops, kan ik hier iets aan doen, zijn er middelen om haar rustiger te maken?

2.2 Herlopers (terugkomers) 13
2.2.1 Regelmatige herlopers 13
2.2.2 Onregelmatige herlopers

2.2 Herlopers (terugkomers)
Minder dan 15% herlopers mag als normaal worden beschouwd. Herlopers kunnen onderverdeeld worden in regelmatige herlopers, die op 3 weken (18-23 dagen) of op 6 weken (37-47 dagen) erugkomen, en onregelmatige herlopers (alles ertussen).
Normaalgezien zijn 2/3 van de herlopers regelmatig.

2.2.1 Regelmatige herlopers
Herlopers op 3 weken hebben drie mogelijke oorzaken:
 Er is geen bevruchting geweest
 Er is wel een bevruchting geweest, maar de vruchtjes zijn afgestorven enkele uren daarna
 Er waren onvoldoende embryo’s op dag 12, waardoor de hersenen
onvoldoende signalen kregen om de dracht in stand te houden.

Katerina, you should 'use 'repeat breaders', as Kitty suggested.
This seems to be the correct technical term.
Basically, what I suggested is correct but this phrasing is not used in practice.

Please note: herloper = terugkomer, these are synonyms.
'herloper' is used in Belgium and 'terugkomer' is used in the Netherlands.

Look at this:
De belangrijkste resultaten en conclusies uit dit onderzoek zijn:
• De Plus Voer-groep gaf na de proefbehandeling significant grotere tomen vanuit 1ste inseminatie (15.1 biggen) in vergelijking met de Controle-groep (13.1 biggen).
• De Plus Voer-groep gaf meer terugkomers (23%) vanuit 1ste inseminatie in vergelijking met de Controle-groep (10%). Dit verschil is niet significant en kan dus nog op toeval berusten
• De toomgrootte en het percentage terugkomers vanuit eerste inseminatie van de Plus Eiwit-groep (13.7 biggen, 10% terugkomers) en de Drie Weken-groep (13.3 biggen, 8% terugkomers) waren niet significant verschillend ten opzichte van de Controle-groep.
• De Plus Voer-groep gaf procentueel minder vaak tomen met ≤10 biggen en vaker tomen met ≥17 biggen vanuit eerste inseminatie dan de Controle-groep.

• The Plus Feed group gave significantly larger litters from 1st insemination (15.1 piglets) compared with the Control group (13.1 piglets).
• The Plus Feed group seemed to give more repeat breeders from 1st insemination (23%) compared with the Control group (10% repeat breeders), however this difference was not significant and can still be due to coincidence.
• Litter size and percentage of repeat breeders from 1st insemination of the Plus Protein (13.7 piglets and 10% repeat breeders) and Three Weeks group (13.3 piglets, 8% repeat breeders) were not significantly different from the Control group.
• The Plus Feed group shows a lower percentage of litters with ten or less piglets and a higher percentage of litters with 17 or more piglets from 1st insemination compared with the Control group.

The importance of nutrition to good reproductive performance will have become apparent in discussion of the ovarian cycle in Chapter 4. The specific effects of various dietary constituents on reproductive performance are still poorly understood, in spite of years of research. There are many conflicting reports on the effects that deficiencies of b-carotene and selenium, to name but two, have on reproductive performance.

In any herd of cows, even where pregnancy rates are typically high, a variable proportion of cows will require three or more inseminations in order to establish a successful pregnancy. Such cows often return to oestrus at regular, 21-day intervals and are thus known as repeat breeders.

Are those two or three cows problem breeders, or are they just unlucky? They could well be candidates for preventative treatments, but if they are repeat breeders in subsequent lactations they may well have an innate problem which could be inherited, and culling should be considered.

Katerina, I want to point out to you one more thing.

This shows you that I gave you a correct solution in unusual terms.

get in heat again means the same as return to oestrus

heat = loopsheid, tochtigheid, bronst, krolsheid (van Dale)
oestrus/oestrum = vruchtbare periode, bronst, paardrift (van Dale)

You gave up this was about pig health but according to the above reference this is about 'melkvee':

"Met de Orcomix Correct-Formules kan u uw melkvee bijsturen waar nodig!"

Now look at this:

herloper = terugkomer = [animal] returning to oestrus ('getting in heat again')

So these are you are your options:

- minder herlopers

- less repeat breeders
- less dairy cows returning to oestrus

Thank you.
Peer comment(s):

agree Michael Beijer : maybe more something like "will need to get in heat again" (i.e., betere bevruchtingsresultaten will result in less animals having to "try a second time")? / dus: minder herlopers = less second tries?
5 mins
Thank you, Michael. "need" --> Good point to consider. It is difficult to say exactly without the immediately preceding context.
agree Kitty Brussaard : Possibly in English also referred to as repeat breeders, repeats or returns (vs non-returns). All coming back to mind after having worked at the Veterinary Faculty of Utrecht University for several years :-).

Thank you, Kitty. Could be. 'returns', for instance, sounds like 'terugkomers', which is used as a synonym for 'herlopers'. And 'repeat breeders' seems to make sense as well.

second tries

Still like my suggestion most, even though it might be a tad informal.

Betere bevruchtingsresultaten - duidelijkere bronstsymptomen - minder herlopers =
Better fertilisation results, clearer heat/rutting symptoms, less second tries

based on Barend's ref, containing the term "terugkomer" (= herloper):

Levend geboren biggen, minder terugkomers en minder beengebreken blijven belangrijke aspecten waar u op kunt sturen.
=
More piglets born alive, fewer sows returning to oestrus and fewer broken bones are important aspects you can count on.

Sow performance is a key component of the productivity of commercial pig farms. Reproductive failure in the sow is common in pig production. For every 100 sows served, 89 should farrow.
(...)
The farrowing rate, described as the percentage of females served that farrowed related to first mating, decreased from an average of 86% in 2001 to 77% during the years 2002 and 2003 on a 620-sow farrow-to-finish unit. Alexander and Muirhead [3] suggested a target farrowing rate of 89%. The analysis of reproductive failures indicated that the reproductive losses during pregnancy were mainly due to high returns to oestrus and a high rate of non-pregnancy in sows.
(...)
The herd was an integrated 620-sow unit producing pigs for slaughter.
(...)
The farrowing rate fell from 86% in 2001 to 77% in 2002-2003. The reproductive losses were mainly due to repeat breeders and sows found to be non-pregnant (Table 5).
(...)
The reproductive losses in sows and gilts for 2003 were compared (Table 7). Repeats, found not-in-pig and sold in-pig rates were high in sows and especially in gilts.
(...)
The farrowing rate remained low: 76% in 2003; 77% in 2004. The analysis of the reproductive performance between June and December 2004 is outlined in Table 13, 14. The repeat, not-in-pig and culled pregnant sow rates were high.
(...)
It is normally stated that oestrus period in the sow lasts 24-60 hours and ovulation occurs 38-42 hours after the onset of heat. Service should take place up to 12 hours before ovulation. A delay in mating could result in lowered embryo survival.
