Gilt's 1st Litter / Milk ?

Post by SPRINGBRANCH » Sun Aug 09, 2015 11:49 am

had a gilt farrow 5 yesterday morning 24 hours ago or so. she was full of milk and the little ones were chowing down. she'd eating and drinking. today though she doesn't seem like she has very much milk at all. is that a normal thing?

Why do you think she doesn't have much milk? They will only have milk when they are calling their pigs. Check her when she is calling her pigs, she more than likely is milking just fine if she is eating and drinking and feels good.
