Why Sow Phases Are So Critical
A sow moves through clearly defined phases each year: breeding, gestation, farrowing, lactation, weaning. Each of these phases places specific demands on metabolism, hormonal balance, and body condition.
"Reproduction is barn work. What is missed here can hardly be made up for later."
Targeted support during the critical days around farrowing and weaning ultimately yields more live-born piglets per litter, higher weaning weights, and more stable rearing performance.
