%X Induction of synchronised estrus in prepubertal gilts by the sexually mature boar contact is a phenomenon known as ¡°boar effect¡±. This effect is used for more efficient estrus detection in sexually mature (cyclic) gilts. The best results of application of ¡°boar effect¡± are achieved if the stimulation is performed by direct contact between gilts and a sexually mature boar, at least two times a day every 12 hours. This paper presents the results of foreign and domestic authors on the ¡°boar effect¡± application in terms of successful induction of synchronized estrus in prepubertal gilts and estrus detection in sexually mature gilts.
