Cause of Small Litters From Improper Breeding Time Care
George Joice argues in National Stockman that most litters are reduced by poor care at breeding. Sows should be in thrifty to slightly thin condition, fed richly for 3–4 weeks before service, then maintained for 4 weeks after, with careful gradual feeding to avoid runts. Different breeds show variable litter sizes, but overall litter outcomes depend on feed during early gestation.
