In Exp. 1, a total of 66 lactating sows were randomly assigned to 3 groups and were given 0 (vehicle, corn oil), 1 and 2 mg testosterone per animal, respectively, per day from 3 days before weaning until oestrus within 10 days after weaning. All sows were artificially inseminated twice after oestrus detection.
