METHOD
3. Semen on snout
test
This is done by placing
sample of old semen on the
snout of the
female by either plain hand or
from a squirt bottle. A
receptive female will just
look around and assume
mating position in the

METHOD
4. Teaser method
Use a teaser boar that is
usually castrated. If the
female allows the
teaser to mount, she is
sexually
receptive.

METHOD
5. Thumb-check i
nside
This is the
used vulva
to check for a

mucous discharge on its
vulva.

METHOD
6. Use of Tape rec
order
Record or tape the sounds

replayed, a sow or gilt that is
in heat will look where the
