Pigs With Broken Tops

Post by showwinner » Sun Mar 06, 2016 9:06 pm

Do I need to change my levels of calcium and phosphorus in my gestation feed? Getting pigs in several litters with broken tops. Maybe sows need vitamin ade shot at weaning and 2 weeks before farrowing. Sows housed inside.

Give Vit D to piglets orally at processing. Product is called Wean-D. Sows can be normal but piglets quite deficient. Injecting sows won't help.
