Progress Report/Give Back Two (2) Piglets to the Program
Monitor progress of the breeder piglet.
The first step toward rearing healthy piglets is making sure the intended mother is mated! A gilt (a young female hog) should reach sexual maturity at five or six months of age.
The gestation period for a pregnant sow will be approximately 113 days.
Good sanitation is a vital part of preventive health care. Clean farrowing pen frequently.
Provide quality feed to the sow and the piglets.
It will take 4 to 8 weeks to wean the litter from the mother's milk. Their diet need to be supplemented of high quality feed (use a creep feeder so that the sow can't get at the goodies) containing at least 18% protein.... and all the essential amino acid, vitamins and minerals.
Schedule time to give back two piglets to the program within the 18-24 months.
