This work was developed to determine the effects of feed restriction on rearing gilts on their reproductive efficiency as primiparous sows. Were used 80 gilts C40 (Dalland, Pietran x Large White), with 149.8 ± 3.2 days and 93.1 ± 6.0 kg of live weight, divided in eight lots of 10 animals, being each lot housed in collective pens of 15m2. The animals were submitted to two different treatments during 150 days of age until seven days after first mating. In treatment 1, gilts received 2,6 kg of feed (2945 Kcal ME, 14% CP, 0.6 lysine) a day, while in the treatment 2 the gilts received 2,2 kg (feed restriction 15%) of the same feed a day. Seven days before the first mating gilts of both treatments received 3,0 kg of lactation feed a day (flushing). The gilts had the backfat thickness (BF) measured at 170, 190 and 210 days and were weighted at 210 days of age. At 215,6 ± 6,7 days gilts were artificially inseminated. There were no differences (P>0,05) on BF at 170 (12,3 ± 1,6 vs 11,6 ± 1,3 mm), 190 (12,8 ± 1,3 vs 12,2 ± 1,1 mm) and 210 (13,4 ± 1,3 vs 12,9 ± 1,1 mm) days, as well as in the weight at 210 days of age (131,4 ± 7,1 vs 128,6 ± 9,8 kg) among the animals of the treatments 1 and 2, and both treatments were effective in preparing the replacement gilts inside the patterns of weight and BF at the first breeding. The treatment did not influence the rate of estrus return, but gilts of treatment 1 had a better (P <0,05) performance as primiparous sows than gilts of treatment 2 (11,6 ± 1,6 vs 10,6 ± 2,3 total piglets born). Feed restriction 15%, resulting in a daily intake of 6479 kcal ME and 13.2 g lysine, showed negative effects on reproductive performance, although it was not accompanied of alterations in the weight and in BT at 210 days. The parameters weight and BF were not safe to determine the reproductive efficiency of gilts as primiparous sows, once different results were observed at first farrow under same weight and BF patterns at first mating. Gilts s metabolic status at the insemination seems to be as important as the weight and BF at first mating.
