A good start to lactation begins before farrowing.
Farrowing demands energy, and lactation immediately follows. Now, nutrition determines how well the sow manages this intensive phase.

Fluctuating feed intake
Around farrowing, feed intake may decline while nutrient requirements increase with the start of lactation.
3
High stress on the organism
