A National Crop Improvement Service article promotes taming sows for easier farrowing. It advises handling, moving sows early to new quarters, using straw bedding, and building a low wall fender to protect piglets from a lurching mother. It notes gentle sows yield more piglets per litter and encourages keeping piglets warm in baskets or inside the house during farrowing.
The sow should receive light feed for four to five days after farrowing and then gradually move to full rations as piglet milk demand rises. Use richer concentrates like skim milk, buttermilk, tankage, middlings, crushed oats, ground barley, peas and oil meal. Offer as a watery slop and keep feed liberal to maximize pig growth economically.
