Aborted litter?

Post by Mightymac » Wed Jan 31, 2018 12:24 pm

We have a sow that was AI’d in October and was due this week but clearly she has aborted that litter but my biggest question is why has she not cycled sense October not for sure we she aborted but she never showed any signs of being pregnant thanks for any response.

Sometimes sows and especially gilts will seem pregnant and then just abort. Pigs are unpredictable and with unpredictability comes things that seem strange. Like your gilt not coming back into heat after she aborted. I would say your pigs body just hasn't fully recovered after aborting yet. If she does not come back in by her next heat date I would give her a shot of PG600.
good luck
