We use the Hogwash solution as noted above. Don't need very much of it. ! cap for the top and another cap on your brush for the belly and you will get plenty of suds. Just be sure you rinse it all off.

3 days not eating.... temp her and make sure she is not sick. Vulva's do get very swollen, but usually soften up just before farrow Not eating---I would go ahead and look up the ulcer protocol and get her started on it. Don't need her to have an ulcer before she goes into a stressful situation (farr...

I would not give any carbonated drink as a top dress to feed for any reason now. Most shows have rules that explicitly state this is not allowed....even the 7-up trick. At majors with zero tolerance I would definitely not have alcohol test in urine. They probably can find alcohol more than they test...

My son did a pilot research project on this at Tarleton State. Not this exact product but another product that supplemented Calcium 5 days prior to farrowing via a top dress product. He was able to demonstrate a decrease in pig-to-pig intervals and an increase avg in the number of live births (I thi...

She likes water I would be wet slopping her feed and put 1 oz of Dyne or Dial N into the water that you use to wet slop with to add more calories.

A family with a niche market of Large Blacks that are open ranged, organic fed, naturally bred bought some berk gilts from us last year. They bred these gilts to a young, never used before Large Black boar and every single berk litter had babies that were 3.5 to over 5 lbs at birth with only getting...

Not knowing what her baseline body condition score is (BCS), 7-8 lbs/day sounds excessive to me. Needs to be about 2.5 to 2.75 BCS. Immediately following insemination and for at least the next 30 days she should only get 4 lbs/day of feed so the embryos do not "burn" up with excessive calo...

Read your Banamine label also. Think she would need more than 5 cc

PCN is old school for me. You do have to give daily shots...off label amounts like the 20 cc/day dose so should be prescribed by your vet and it has a 50+ day withdrawal, and it is not broad spectrum. That being said I would strongly suggest 1) a broad spectrum antibiotic like Baytril that you can u...

I also like to stick the needle into the side of the neck that is farthest from me( in the rt side if I'm on the left). That way they jump/move into me and not away from me.

Slap shot all the way. If they want to move, you just move with em.

We now have all pictures of each lot offered for sale so you can browse thru them real easy, the video link is there along w...

Put my cooler plugged into a surge/power protector so that if the power goes off, the cooler doesn't shut down and it stays at the set temp. If the power stays off for more than 4 hours, then I need to catch the fridge cause the battery backup is usually dead.

Check it out. Browse around it. Guaranteed to have fun with it. The sow link has a scrolling banner that you can click and it will bring you to the sows info and and write up re each litter we bred for this fall's sales. You can click onto the sows genetic page and see exactly what is behind her, cl...
