This book is a study written as part of a master's thesis. As such, it complies with scientific requirements and provides the reader with information on the first pig seed production trials in Burkina Faso.The demand for pork in Burkina Faso is growing all the time, against a backdrop of low productivity for existing breeds. The development of pork production requires the use of animal biotechnologies. The aim of this study is to contribute to improving the productivity of the pig species in Burkina Faso. Pig semen technology was developed at the Loumbila breeding station. The methodology consisted in training and collecting semen from 08 pure-bred boars introduced at the station. The semen was subjected to macroscopic and microscopic analysis to assess its quality and guide decision-making on its conservation and use in artificial insemination.
