Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 September 2010
Extract
The initial work of Brooks and Cole (1970), which showed that a mature boar advances the onset of puberty in gilts, has become known as the ‘boar effect’, and this phenomenon has now been confirmed in numerous studies as reviewed by Hughes (1982), and Kirkwood and Hughes (1982).
