sekäelleistämällä
Sikäelleistämällä is a Finnish term that describes the process of artificially inseminating a sow (female pig) with semen. This practice is a key component of modern pig farming, aimed at improving reproductive efficiency, genetic selection, and disease control. By utilizing artificial insemination, farmers can distribute semen from superior boars (male pigs) to a larger number of sows than would be possible through natural mating. This allows for faster genetic progress within a herd, as desirable traits can be spread more quickly.
The procedure itself involves collecting semen from a boar, processing and diluting it to ensure viability,
