Excellent Hints for Swine Breeder
Farmers differ on when to breed sows. Breed at ten or eleven months or wait to two years. Avoid a broad sow with a long narrow head and a wicked eye. Feed growing pigs a little stain, and use milk for undersized piglets. Pigs benefit from grain and pasture, but require careful management for milk, nutrition, and housing. Provide charcoal salt and sulphur, separate pig and sow pens, sunlight and ventilation, and clean quarters. Use skim milk and hay like clover and alfalfa, oats, and oil meal. Balance protein and starch, watch protein levels for pregnant sows, separate boars, large exercise lots, and gradual dietary changes. Quality pigs matter more than quantity. keep good sows long if they perform well.
