Winter feeding for sows and gilts in herd management
Agricultural expert Anderson emphasizes careful winter handling of the sow herd. He recommends separating yearlings and older sows from bred gilts, feeding a protein-rich ration with soybeans and linseed oilmeal, and avoiding simple grain mixes. If sows lack fat or gain slowly, increase feed and vary the basal corn. Follow a constant supplement with adjusted basal feed for fleshing.
