Title: Questions about Breeding
Post by: deanellen on February 15, 2013, 06:13:08 PM

Hi doc!
i have some questions about breeding. hopefully you can give me an answer.
How many months should a pig start to breed?
How many times should a sow farrow in one year?
Should a sow be bred successively or should it be given ample time to rest?
At what age should a sow stop breeding?
What are the characteristics that a sow is not fit for breeding or farrowing any piglets anymore?

Also, anong dapat gawin at ibigay sa baboy na nanlalagas yung balahibo? Any advice on this?
thanks!

sorry for the late reply

7 1/2 to 8 1/2 as long as naka 2 heat cycle na ito
 around 2.2-2.4 times a year
succesive breeding, usually after 7days after weaning magheat nasiya
minimum of 8 farrowings if maganda pa production icontinue lang
if less than 9-10 piglets are produce every farrowing 3 consecutive time then size are small it is candidate for culling
