Minerals Needed for Winter Bred Sows
Bred sows require minerals in winter as pasture is unavailable. Oats supply minerals best among common grains and alfalfa is rich in lime. A mineral mix with salt lime stone and a phosphorus carrier should be provided constantly, using bone meal or acid phosphate as carriers.
