<t>I'm sure there are others on here who have more experience than we do with it as we have only used it twice. However, we did use PG600 both times and we did feed a full 14 days. We then administered the PG600 on the 15th day and every gilt/sow cycled. The problem we had was when they say 4 to 9 d...

<t>I don't think you have too many options other than breed her now or let her go and breed her the next time around. I was wondering is she in a pen with any other gilts or sows? I have seen this happen when a gilt is penned with others and they come in it is like they jump cycles with the other fe...

<t>Gilts are very hard to predict. If you know she doesn't stand very long the best thing is to shave some hours on your breeding time. Might even consider 12 and 20 hours instead of waiting till hour 24. better to get that semen in a little early than too late. It has to be present long enough befo...

<t>I don't know what the analysis of power fill is but I would guess you can use it in place of oats and beet pulp. I knew I forgot something in the PM I sent you and that was a protein source. There are several available. all you need to do is figure the pounds of protein you want the pig to consum...

<t>Gilts should start showing signs of estrous between 5 and 6 months of age.You would be best to wait and breed her when she is between 7 and 8 months old and weighing close to 300 lbs. Once she starts cycling she should cycle approximately every 21 days, however, gilts particularly will cycle with...

<t>We have used PG 600 when weaning and had good sucess with the sows coming into heat however, one thing we notice is the sows tend to remain in standing heat considerably longer and if inseminated too soon you run the risk of missing her. We either stretch the breedings out as far as possible or u...
