	Gilts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gilts are bonds issued by the UK Government.
		A conventional gilt is a bond issued by the UK government which pays the holder a fixed cash payment (or coupon) every six months until maturity, at which point the holder receives their final coupon payment and principal.
		Gilts with a maturity of less than three years are also referred to as ‘ultra short’, while the new gilts issued in 2005 with a maturity of 50 years have been referred to as ‘ultra long’.

	Melatonin preceding puberty in gilts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Gilts were penned in groups of 10 under an artificial light regimen of 12:12 light:dark and allowed to acclimate to the facility for 30 days.
		The fact that some of the gilts did show nocturnal increases in serum melatonin that were not associated with estrus implies that a nocturnal increase in serum melatonin is not necessary for a gilt to attain puberty.

		Gilts or sows must be checked at least once daily in order to breed at the correct time, and if AI is used it may be necessary to check heat twice daily to achieve the best results.
		Gilts often stay in the gilt pool for three or four cycles before they are first detected in heat or detected at the right time to fit a breeding group.
		Gilts not in estrus (symbol D for diestrus) exhibited predominately negative or diestrus behavioral signs which are characteristic of diestrus behavior for gilts.

		These treatments were with gilts housed in either stalls or in pens and given fence line boar exposure or with gilts housed in pens and relocated to the boar room for fence line exposure.
		The gilts in pens had four to the group in 6 foot by 9 foot pens that had front gates with vertical bars on 4 inch spacings.
		The gilts in the third group were in pens similar to those in the other pen treatment but were relocated to the boar room for fence line heat detection.

	Maintaining Induced CL in hCG-treated Gilts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Failure of a significant proportion of prepuberal gilts to maintain pregnancy after induced ovulation is due to abnormal function of the corpora lutea resulting from the induced ovulation.
		Hysterectomy (HYSX) of prepuberal gilts induced to ovulate resulted in maintained CL to d 30 after ovulation, indicating that luteotropic support was adequate in the absence of the uterine luteolysin, prostaglandin F2.
		Gilts with induced CL are more susceptible to PGF luteolysis compared to gilts with spontaneously formed CL. Prepuberal gilts induced to ovulate require less uterine tissue remaining after subtotal HYSX to cause luteolysis, and less exogenous PGF was needed to cause luteolysis of induced CL compared with spontaneous CL.

	Reproductive Development in Gilts - Manitoba Agriculture and Food
		Gilts raised in individual pens or 2 to 3 per pen, or in large crowded groups, appear to delay puberty.
		It is critical that gilts be exposed to mature boars during the summer to increase the percentage of gilts reaching maturity.
		Gilts should be exposed to an active, mature boar between 145 and 175 days of age.

	ANR-683 IMPROVING SWINE REPRODUCTION/Six
		The number of gilts in the pool must be large enough to cover the sows culled for poor performance, structural or reproductive unsoundness, non-cycling, or poor conception.
		The size of this gilt pool depends on: culling rate of sows, conception rate of sows, conception rate of gilts, percentage of gilts cycling normally, percentage of gilts cycling per day, and length of breeding period.
		The farrowing process is a new experience for a gilt, and her instincts are not adequate to handle the trauma of birth in some cases.

		Gilts, or gilt-edged stock, are issued by the government to help fund its spending.
		Gilts are generally considered to be safe investments because they are issued and backed by the government.
		However, gilts are also traded on the stock market where their price can go up or down depending on what people think is going to happen with interest rates - when interest rates are expected to fall, the price of gilts rises, and when interest rates are expected to rise their price falls.

		Gilts were checked for estrus daily for 10 minutes by direct contact with a mature boar, beginning on the day of hCG administration and throughout the experiment.
		Although pseudopregnancy in these gilts cannot be ruled out in the absence of data on circulating concentrations of progesterone, it seems likely that these 4 gilts experienced their pubertal estrus in response to sexual maturation and continuing boar exposure.
		Gilts bred at 4 months of age, in which pregnancies are maintained by zeranol, give birth to their first litter at about 8 months of age.

	A Newly Available Tool for Synchronization of Estrus in Swine
		Swine producers replace 30 to 50% of their sows with gilts each year (Gordon, 1997) and the introduction of females into the breeding herd is an important component of the overall reproductive efficiency of the operation.
		Once gilts reach puberty at 6 to 8 months of age, they display estrus (synonyms = heat, sexual receptivity) at 18- to 22-day intervals throughout the year unless cycling is interrupted by pregnancy and lactation, poor nutrition, disease, etc. The physiological and behavioral changes associated with the estrous cycle are controlled by hormones.
		This is because mature gilts will probably be randomly cycling and altrenogest feeding may commence when a portion of the gilts are in the luteal phase of the estrous cycle, with corpora lutea actively secreting progesterone.

	Are You Prepared to Raise Your Own Gilts?
		Using the previous example in which 240 gilts are needed, we know that it will take at least 300 breeding age gilts to fulfill our needs because about 20% will be disqualified for unsoundness, poor quality or failure to breed.
		When gilts from grandparent litters are born and raised, producers must adopt evaluation procedures that will allow them to accurately select for economically important traits and ensure their maternal line females continue to improve.
		Still, in an internal gilt multiplication system, the frequency of introductions and the number of animals brought in is greatly reduced compared to purchasing all of your replacement females.

	Is There an Optimum Weight After Farrowing for Gilts?
		If gilts are heavy at breeding because they do not respond to boar exposure quickly, they may not be retained in the herd long.
		Gilts that do not respond promptly (within 40 days) to boar exposure, when starting puberty induction at 160 days, have about a 2 in 3 chance of ever being bred.
		Gilts fed either 2.2 kg (4.9 lb: range 4.4 to 5.1 lb) or 2.6 kg (5.7 lb: range 5.5 to 6.0 lb) in gestation.

	Uses of P.G. 600 in Swine Breeding Herd Management
		Similar to the situation in prepubertal gilts, rising estrogen levels reach a threshold that triggers large amounts of LH to be released from the pituitary gland and ultimately, ovulation.
		Because swine producers replace up to 50% of their sows with gilts each year, the introduction of females into the breeding herd is an important component of the overall reproductive efficiency of the farm.
		Gilts were bred at first heat and farrowing rate and the number of pigs born alive were similar for the P.G. 600-treated and control groups (Table 1).

	Feeding your Breeding Gilts
		The gilt reared for breeding needs fat reserves to help see her through the rigours of several lactations and strong bones to prevent her from going lame.
		A specialised gilt rearing diet is designed to supply energy to allow the young gilts to build up fat reserves and at the same time to supply adequate levels of lysine to enable them to continue lean growth.
		If the feed storage facilities on the unit do not allow for a gilt diet to be used a compromise feeding strategy should be devised based on the diets that are available on the unit.

	Treatment of Replacement Gilts in HM/LE Herds (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The reason for stressing treatment of all gilts being introduced into the herd is that, on an annual basis, this is the largest group of new animals added to the breeding herd.
		If gilts raised on the farm are not treated, routine treatment of gilts purchased from outside sources may not be instituted.
		Finally, treating gilts is a good way to maintain total control over mange and lice in the herd and avoid having to repeat a whole herd treatment to eliminate the disease again.

	Should Replacement Gilts be Raised or Purchased?
		Service generally means that gilts are purchased with a guarantee that they will breed, be available when needed and will be delivered to the farm.
		Most producers who raise their own replacement gilts are trying to reduce their total investment in breeding stock.
		When you produce gilts a portion of the herd is dedicated to matings that will reduce heterosis.
