How soon can you pregtone?

Post by cah » Tue Oct 25, 2016 4:46 pm

Have a sow that was due to come back in heat sunday and it's been two days - she seems a tad swelled but will not stand and tone test says open . just curious as to when is best time to test? Thanks

You can detect some pregnant sows as early as 19 days or so but I would not call one open with a pregtone earlier than 30ish days.
