Progress 03/16/10 to 09/30/14
Outputs
Target Audience: Is the community in the area of reproductive physiology in swine, and through them those that make use of the publication of primary data to make applied changes in how the industry manages reproduction in the sow and boar. Changes/Problems:
Nothing Reported
What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided? Every other year we dedicate half of a day to conducting a symposium directed at producers (mostly the focal group of early adopters and integrator decision makers). We have had very good attendance for the symposia during this project period and members of the project usually contribute to the symposia. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest? Presentation of data at national meetings, peer-reviewed publications and producer symposia every other year. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?
Nothing Reported
Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals?
We gathered annually and spent 1.5 days exchange and discussing the research activities and success at each of the participating stations. In addition we planned and held three producer symposia in conjunction with every other annual meeting.

Target Audience: community in the area of reproductive physiology in swine, and through them those that make use of the publication of primary data. We did discuss a theme for next years meeting which will contain a symposium for producers and the allied industry. Changes/Problems:

We gathered and spent 1.5 days exchange and discussing the research activities and success at each of the participating stations. In addition we planned the skeleton theme of a producer symposium in conjunction with our next annual meeting and assigned a committee to coordinate that activity.

Progress 01/01/12 to 12/31/12
Outputs
OUTPUTS: This year we had a symposium at our annual meeting to discuss the progress made in both utilization of frozen semen and post cervical insemination in the swine industry. We had a significant number of industry representatives attend the symposium in person, as well as a significant number that attended virtually online. We also continued to discuss the possibility of submitting a project grant to assess the role of the male and the female in seasonal infertility. The USDA/MARC group has been able to collect some prelimanary data using frozen semen and we hope to be competitive as the industry would benefit from frozen semen, especially if there is a seasonal component that can be attributed to the boar. PARTICIPANTS: Representatives of swine producers both in a live audience and online. TARGET AUDIENCES: Swine producers. PROJECT MODIFICATIONS: Not relevant to this project.
Impacts
Our conduct of an industry symposium every other year clearly has impact to swine producers. The attendance at this years symposium, both in person and online, clearly demonstrate the percieved value and therefore impact to the clientele we serve.

Progress 01/01/11 to 12/31/11
Outputs
OUTPUTS: This is a multistate project on swine reproductive physiology. During this year we hosted a symposium for swine producers and industry professionals. In addition, our group has been collecting data in collaboration with an outside group at NDSU to understand how exercise during gestation may alter blood flow to the uterus or placenta and how that alteration may impact nutrient transport by the placenta. A host of laboratory analyses have been conducted and are awaiting analyses PARTICIPANTS: At our annual meeting we organized a symposium hosted by the Maschoffs for swine producers and industry professionals. Matthew E. Wilson, PI Kimberly A. Vonnahme, collaborator Tiffany A. Wilmoth, graduate student TARGET AUDIENCES: Not relevant to this project. PROJECT MODIFICATIONS: Not relevant to this project.
Impacts
To date we have analyzed a number of samples, but still need to collect data about the relative vascularity of the placental/endometrial interface so that those data can be submitted for analysis.
