Sow with low milk production

Post by cab97 » Thu Aug 29, 2019 9:33 am

We had gilt that had a litter of pigs. One of the babies was stuck up side down and had to be pulled it had been in there a while and was dead. She already had 7 alive. 4 days later when I fed her we had 5 dead pigs and she had very little milk. I stared bottle feeding the 2 that was left.

So now I'm wondering did she get sick from the one being stuck in there and stop producing milk or is there another problem and I should not breed her back? She has eaten very little the past few days but tonight seams to be eating good again.
