In Beltsville Maryland a study tested a synthetic drug to synchronize heat in 132 sows and gilts. Those continuing through farrowing birthed within three days, averaging eight piglets per litter with normal gestation and no apparent ill effects on the pigs. ARS scientist R J Gerrits leads the MATCH study.
England developed and patented compound now under FDA review for farm use. It could let hog producers give targeted feed to breeding sows for 20 days to synchronize heat, enabling practical artificial insemination and unified farrowing, reducing costs and disease cycles while boosting lean pork supply.
