Aims: this study sought to assess the reproductive performance of sows  
inseminated with sperm treated with homeopathic medicines. Materials  
and methods: the semen of 2 sexually mature boars age 18 months  
Pietrain and Duroc cross-bred with similar genetic and reproductive  
performance were chosen, as well as 125 sows. Sixteen samples of semen  
were collected and standardized through semen evaluation. Three  
homeopathic preparations and a placebo (control) were tested on the  
sperm (n=31/32 per group): Avena sativa 6cH, Pulsatilla nigricans 6cH  
and Avena sativa 6cH + Pulsatilla nigricans 6cH. Sows were inseminated  
3 times with the same estrous diagnostic procedures. Results: there  
was significant difference (p<0.05) between Avena sativa 6cH and the  
other 3 groups regarding the return to estrus and parturition rate.  
There was no significant difference among the groups regarding the  
number of newborn piglets. Conclusion: these data suggest that  
homeopathic preparation Avena sativa may be used directly on sperm  
cells to improve the parturition rate in technified swine farms.
