Re: News - Is There an Optimum Weight After Farrowing for Gilts?
We always have to consider the body condition of both sows and gilts. But after farrowing I think its difficult to maintain a target weight. And also weighing individual sows is very tedious to do most especially for commercial farms. I think proper monitoring of feed consumption based on the specs of the feed is the best way. In this way you can easily assess the ideal body condition score per every stage of pregnancy, after farrowing and before breeding.
