Re: Aborting litters
still waiting to hear back from the vet. We did send one aborted litter out and it was negative. I do believe it was the lack of farrowsure gold. We have had to 2 litters from gilts this winter already and i know for a fact that they got 2 doses of farrowsure. Unfortunately the 3 gilts that aborted ...

Re: Aborting litters
After talking to Norm, I do believe I made a huge mistake. Our first 2 gilt litters got the 2 doses of farrowsure gold. For some reason I don't believe my other 6 gilts didn't get the second dose. I don't remember if all my sows got the booster also. From this point forward all sows will be getting ...

Re: Aborting litters
What to do now! Walked in the barn this morning and found another one aborting. This one is 20 days before farrowing. Loosing all hope now.

Aborting litters
Noticed tonight our third female is going abort her litter this current farrowing season. 2 of the 3 aborted around 6 weeks to go . Tonight's gilt had roughly 3 and a half weeks left. They were a purebred gilt, a crossbred gilt, and a sow that had 2 litters. All my breeding females get farrowsure go...

Problems AI My Sows
Last summer I had a combination of 9 sows and gilts bred naturally. When it came to AI this fall, 8 of the those sows did not stick on their first breeding. All eight needed to be serviced at least twice. I bred 1 of the 9 naturally and she stuck on her first service. We also had a sow that did not ...

As of 3:30 Monday, she did pass one. I really don't want to sleeve up to check if she has anymore. Any suggestions on what to do?
Thanks

Buying a show pig herd
I am in the beginning stages of possibilty of buying a show pig herd. I am curious what should I offer for them. Half of the herd are proven sows, while the other half are gilts. A couple of the sows are bred, most are open. We have purchased show pigs from this farm in the past with no problems and...

Re: Gilt overdue
What can I give her to induce? All I have on the farm is oxytocin. She now has had milk for roughly 24 hours, not abundant amount though.

sow not producing enough milk
What can I do/give to the sow to make sure the little ones are getting enough to eat. They are over a week old. And this was her first litter. She had a little case of pneumonia on Monday and Tuesday. I treated her for that and she has recovered nicely. She had 17 piglets, 1 still born, 3 others die...
