When feeding sows during gestation, it is important to replenish the sow's body reserves. At the same time, it is necessary to provide care for the piglets in the womb. It is therefore advisable to use special farrowing mixtures with adapted amounts of feed during the different phases of gestation.
During the suckling period (28 days), up to 14 piglets per litter must be provided with sufficient milk from the sow. During this period, sows should receive specially adapted feed for lactation. In addition to increased energy concentration, a high level of active ingredients and an optimally balanced amino acid content in the feed are important.
