In 1 to 3 subsequent pregnancies we compared ovulation and embryonic mortality rates of 10 HLW with those of 10 Large White LW and 7 Meishan MS sows. The ovulation rate of HLW was significantly higher than that of LW and MS . The ovulation rate of HLW daughters was higher by corpora lutea compared to that of LW gilts at the 3rd oestrus after puberty which occurred at the same age in the 2 genotypes 228 days MS gilts were pubescent significantly earlier 88 days and had a significantly lower ovulation rate than both Large White groups. The embryonic mortality rate was high in HLW sows 41 p. 100 whereas that of MS sows was low 16 p. 100 compared to that of LW sows 26 p. 100 . Regression of embryonic mortality rate on ovulation rate was significantly positive and embryonic mortality rate remained significantly higher in both Large White groups than in MS sows when corrected for ovulation rate. It is concluded that the improvement of embryonic survival in Large White sows should be a high priority to improve the efficiency of the hyperprolific line and that the Meishan breed which is prolific owing to a low embryonic mortality may be an appropriate experimental model.
