The main objective of this study was to make a comparison of the use of artificial insemination in sows from three production units belonging to the Tlachichuca-Puebla region, Mexico. These pork production units belonged to the communities of José María Morelos, San Francisco Independencia and Tlachichuca, Puebla respectively. 20 sows were used, 15 of which were primal and 5 multiparous, which were inseminated over a period of 10 months. 20 doses of semen were acquired from the Coyametl Genetic Transfer Center, located in the City of Acatzingo, Puebla. The information obtained from the project was concentrated in the different stages of the study, and stored in an Excel file; the information was processed through the SPSS 10 package for Windows, applying descriptive statistics. 75% of Primal or Nulliparous sows were found which were artificially inseminated and 25% corresponded to Multiparous; 7% of the producers expressed no interest in planning but rather a greater number of kilos when selling, 15% responded interest in the number of offspring and fewer deaths at birth with better feeding of the bellies before and after the births, 78% mentioned the importance of planning a procedure to improve their productivity and reproductive life in their pork production units (PPUs). Regarding litter size, results were obtained through AI in the sows of the 3 UPPs (José María Morelos, San Francisco Independencia and Tlachichuca), a total of piglets in the primals of 163 of the 15 inseminated sows, with an average of 10.8 piglets/sow; In the case of multiparous sows, there were 58 piglets in total with an average of 11.6 piglets/sow. In conclusion, comparative studies are useful for analysis in pork production units, since they are pillars in decision making; as it was, in the reproductive indicators where AI was applied, giving objectivity and greater certainty as was the case in the three communities of the Tlachichuca region, Puebla, Mexico.
本研究的主要目的是比较墨西哥特拉奇丘卡-普埃布拉地区三个生产单位的母猪人工授精使用情况。这些猪肉生产单位分别属于普埃布拉州的何塞-玛丽亚-莫雷洛斯社区、圣弗朗西斯科-独立社区和特拉奇丘卡社区。共使用了 20 头母猪,其中 15 头是初产母猪,5 头是多胎母猪,人工授精时间为 10 个月。20 份精液来自位于普埃布拉州阿卡琴戈市的 Coyametl 基因转移中心。从该项目中获得的信息集中在研究的不同阶段,并存储在 Excel 文件中;这些信息通过 Windows 版 SPSS 10 软件包进行处理,并应用了描述性统计。75%的原始母猪或无情母猪进行了人工授精,25%的母猪为多情母猪;7%的生产者表示对计划不感兴趣,只想在出售时获得更多的公斤数,15%的生产者表示对后代数量感兴趣,并希望在产前和产后更好地喂养腹部,减少出生时的死亡,78%的生产者提到了计划程序的重要性,以提高其猪肉生产单位(PPU)的生产率和繁殖期。在产仔数方面,3 个猪肉生产单位(José María Morelos、San Francisco Independencia 和 Tlachichuca)的母猪人工授精结果显示,15 头人工授精母猪的 163 头初产母猪共产下仔猪,平均每头母猪产下 10.8 头仔猪;多胎母猪共产下 58 头仔猪,平均每头母猪产下 11.6 头仔猪。总之,比较研究对猪肉生产单位的分析很有帮助,因为它们是决策的支柱;在应用人工授精的繁殖指标方面也是如此,它提供了客观性和更大的确定性,墨西哥普埃布拉州特拉奇丘卡地区的三个社区就是这种情况。

The study was conducted in Darolabu, Ciro and Gemechis Districts of West Hararghe Zone with the objective of determining the occurrence and prevalence of honeybee diseases, pests and predators and their effects on honeybee colonies and bee products in selected districts of West Hararghe Zone. Three districts were purposefully selected based on their relative beekeeping potentials in highland, midland and lowland agro–ecologies. Three Kebeles from each district and ten beekeepers from each Kebeles were selected for the interview. For major honey bee diseases and pest examination, a total of 68 suspected bee colonies were sampled. Out of the total respondents, 58% and 77.4% of beekeepers replied that honeybee colonies and honey yield, respectively, were decreasing from time to time. The respondents listed a lack of bee forages, disease, pest and predators as the major constraints of beekeeping in the study area in their decreasing orders. Wax moth, honey badger and hive beetles were more commonly occurring pests and predators, while nosema and amoeba were among the important diseases. The prevalence all bee diseases and pests including nosema, amoeba, varroa mite, bee lice, wax moth, and small hive beetle, was not associated with either agro-ecology or hive type. The factors contributing for their prevalence across all agro-ecologies and hive types need further study.
