I had a gilt come into heat two days ago. I had one dose left from another order so I used it. And was not able to get a second one in her. I checked on her this morning and she was out. How much could 1 dose affect litter size as compared to two.? Or will she not take at all.
Thanks

Re: Bred with only 1 Dose
Sounds like your timing was close to perfect with the one dose, taking into consideration that the semen was good everything should be ok. There should not be any problem with just one dose if she was not standing 24 hr later

Re: Bred with only 1 Dose
I ended up breeding two sows in August......put one dose in Sow #1 and she was out when I was ready to put the second dose in 24 hours later.....so it went into Sow #2. They both got bred...Sow #1 had 13 live pigs, Sow #2 had 11 live plus 2 mummies. That one dose v. two dose thing is mostly about coverage as we don't know really when they ovulate. One well timed dose is sufficient
