Hi everyone - what % protein are you all using for gestation? Do you increase your protein after farrowing for lactation? Just trying to get an idea of the average.
Thanks!
Percent protein for gestation/lactation
Re: Percent protein for gestation/lactation
Most gestation feeds are about 15% protein and lactation feeds are about 18%. The lactation feed is also higher in fat content as well.
Re: Percent protein for gestation/lactation
We use a feed that doubles as a gestation and lactation feed...It's from Farmer's Best Feeds in California and it's 14%. It's always worked really well for us and doesn't require a feed change.
