Dehydration is common following the farrowing process because the sow has lost body water from the expulsion of birth products. |
|
A day before the sows are ready to farrow, the farrowing boxes are set up in the rooms. |
|
They assume weekly farrowing only in the larger three units, as the 150-sow unit could farrow only six to eight sows weekly. |
|
The most common time to administer dewormers for reproducing animals is prior to breeding and before farrowing. |
|
Thus, the producers who adopted weekly farrowing were the larger, less diversified producers with greater farm asset value. |
|
They started farrowing hogs when they moved to the rented farm in 1991 and have a traditional farrow-to-finish setup. |
|
When sows are brought to the pastures, they move into a variety of farrowing sheds. |

Be at her note, be near note, come forward to her note, of a cow or sow, be near the time for calving or farrowing. |
|
Farrowing rate for sows in individual stalls was equal to or superior to sows in other systems. |
|
Farrowing farms did not produce fatteners and delivered growers to finishing farms. |
|
Farrowing occurs between March and May, with litter sizes depending on the age and nutrition of the mother. |
