Use of Matrix in your sow herd

Post by StAPigs » Wed Jan 24, 2018 9:07 am

We have just recently started using Matrix on 'stale' gilts and other dry sows and have had good success in getting them to cycle. My question is, does routine use of Matrix on your sow herd adversely affect subsequent sow cycles?

That is a good question...I recently used it for a stale one and had the most strong text book response she ever had. I was able to get her bred and won't know what she like until after she's had this litter.
