A positive association (P < 0.01) was detected between estrone sulfate (ES) concentrations in maternal plasma at Day 30 of pregnancy and litter size at parturition in swine. This relationship was best described by a fifth order regression equation (R(2) = 0.5) which indicated that as ES increased from 1 to 7.5 ng/ml on Day 30, litter size increased from 0 (nonpregnant) to 18 piglets farrowed. Day of sampling (P < 0.02), month (P < 0.04) and parity (P < 0.08) were major sources of variation in the model. This indicated that effects of environmental factors such as heat stress, which influence conception rate and embryonic survival, are reflected in changes in maternal ES. Also, larger litter size associated with parous sows is reflected in increased ES in maternal plasma. We conclude that measurement of ES early in gestation may be useful in reproductive management to identify nonpregnant gilts and sows as well as those with small litters.
