Ultrasound image dataset for ovarian follicular development detection in pigs

Pigs are one of the largest scale livestock species globally. In large-scale pig farms, the reproductive management of sows is a critical control point to ensure production capacity and reduce costs. The formulation of the sow breeding management program mainly depends on the accurate assessment of the development of ovarian follicles and ovulation status in sows. A comprehensive dataset of high-resolution images, capturing various size follicles in different stages and conditions, has been assembled. The dataset includes 868 ultrasound images, categorizing follicles as four sizes: Small, Medium, Large, Preovulatory follicles in gilts and sows . This initiative aims to enhance the reproductive efficiency of sows in pig farms and facilitate research into sow reproductive physiology.
