Older sows surpass younger females in litter size and pig growth
An Iowa State experiment shows eight or nine month sows average 7.67 piglets per litter, while 24 month sows average 9.6 and aged sows 10.6. Two-year sows yield heavier pigs and faster growth, with birth weights 2.63 and growth gains about 0.40 pounds daily for two-year sows.
