Brood Sows Require Special Care This Spring
County Agricultural Agent P. D. Gibson urges farmers to provide exercise, balanced feed, ample water, and well-ventilated, roomy housing for brood sows. Michigan State College expert W. N. McMillen notes poor winter weather and potential vitamin D deficiency but advises corrective steps now. Hay in racks reduces toxins and supplies vitamin D, with protein and mineral checks, including at least half a pound of protein daily per sow in the six weeks before farrowing.
