Answer:

Breeding Females. Gilts: Breeding pigs are selected from mother pigs having good mothering ability as shown by large litter size and weight at weaning. Gilts should have 12-14 evenly spaced sound teats, good growth rate and feminity. ... The weaned sows come into heat in 3-10 days after weaning.
