Product Description
NF DRY SOW AND BOAR MEAL 50KG
Product Information
- During the period after service up to farrowing, dry sows must be given a Dry Sow ration, at 2.0 – 2.5 kg feed per day, depending on the condition of the sow.
- The pregnant sow should increase her bodyweight by about 40 kg during the 114 days of pregnancy.
- Feeding a sow during pregnancy not only stimulates higher milk production but has a major impact on the birth weight and liveability of the young piglets.
- This will result in a considerable reduction in deaths before weaning.
- Furthermore is the importance of the significant negative relationship that exists between feed intake during pregnancy and the sow’s appetite during lactation.
- The more the sow consumes during pregnancy, the lower her feed intake will be during lactation, and the poorer her condition at weaning. It is therefore important that the dry sow does not receive more than 2.5 kg of feed per day
