The total number of piglets born in the first farrowing was recently described as a reliable indicator of the lifetime performance of sows on farms in the southern EU. The objective of this study is to analyze this effect in large Brazilian pig farms, including other key productive indicators such as total piglets born, live births or stillborns.
