To identify areas of opportunity in the reproductive management of pig farms,a questionnaire was developed consisting of 36 reagents,18 directed to the male management area and 18 to the female.In a second stage,the questionnaire was validated by applying it to 15 cooperating farms.To corroborate the information of the questionnaire,the inspection of the reproductive management was carried out.Each reagent was assigned values of 0:does not exert a negative effect on the reproductive process,1:slight effect,2:intermediate effect and 3:negative effect.The average number of points per farm was 44.93;the area that obtained the worst percentage of points in the reproductive management was the boars with 54.93%.No correlation was found between the percentages of reagents classified as deficiencies with the number of females(p>0.05),a negative correlation was found with the fertility percentage(p<0.05)and total born(p<0.05).No correlation was found between general points and area points with the number of females and the fertility percentage(p>0.05),but there was a negative correlation with the total number of piglets born(p<0.05).No effect of the type of operator was found for the general points(p>0.05).There was also no effect of the region for general points in both male and the female areas(p>0.05).It is concluded that the instrument identifies weak points(WP)of reproductive management.
