title: The induction of oestrus in recently weaned sows with low doses of gonadotrophins.
abstract: Trials in a large scale commercial piggery indicated that use of a combination of hormones played a significant role in synchronising and expediting the onset of oestrus. The litter sizes in the treated group were significantly larger than in the controls.
