Re: Sow not milking well

I'm having the same issue here as well. Was milking great for the first couple days, but has really dropped off now. We're feeding plenty but she's only eating about half. Bowel movements are good. We have fans on her to help with the heat.

Re: Stubborn Pig

We ran across this same thing with a barrow last fall. We were at a loss and decided to try giving him melatonin gel caps in his feed in the evenings before we worked him. It worked like a charm and worked on show days too.

Help with vaccination protocol

We have 4 bred gilts who are 3-4 weeks from farrowing. We gave them Farrowsure Gold 5 weeks and 2 weeks pre-breeding. 2 weeks ago we gave the E. coli vaccine Littergard LT-C.

Will old pre-mixed PG 600 work in a pinch a month later?

I have some PG 600 we mixed on 3/4/17. Need some now and can't get my hands on any anywhere. Any ideas if this PG 600 I still have from March might work? It's been refrigerated the whole time.

No Heat after Matrix

I'm just beginning the first time (for me and them) breeding process with my gilts. I started them on Matrix on 3/25. Last dose was 14 days later on April 7. 2 of the gilts came in standing heat Wed and Thur this week as expected. Last gilt shows no signs at all of coming in. We've had a teaser boar...
