Short Description

Recent advancements in sow genetics have brought about significant challenges in pig management. While the goal of maximizing piglet numbers may seem like the key to profitability, the reality on farms often presents a different picture. With larger litter sizes, piglet birth weights tend to decrease, and piglet mortality rates rise. As a result, the focus for pig producers should shift from simply aiming for more piglets to prioritizing the raising of robust, healthy, and competitive piglets that have the best chance of thriving.
