26
Q

. This is the period between weaning & the next service. after weaning, a sow is expected to come into heat within 3 to 7 days.

A

THE DRY PERIOD

27

THE PREGNANCY PERIOD

28
Q

A

The estrus cycle of a pig has an average duration of 3 weeks (21 days). If a sow fails to conceive after service, she is expected to repeat, or to come into heat 3 weeks after the unsuccessful service.
It is also possible that a sow repeats much later than 21 days after the service. in that case, the sow has been pregnant, but for some reason, the pregnancy stopped at a certain point. Such a sow will also come into heat again.
False pregnancy or pseudo pregnancy occurs rarely in sows which have been bred.

29

A

THE LACTATION PERIOD

30
Q

. after the 28 – 42 days suckling period, the piglets can be separated from the sow & further reared. The rearing period will take another 30 – 40 days. At the end, they will be ready for sale, fattening or rearing as replacement breeders. Their weights by then will be 15 – 20 kgs.

A

THE REARING PERIOD OF WEANERS

31
Q

After rearing, the pigs are now ready for fattening. The time needed to reach market weights is variable & depends on the quality of the pig & feeds, market demands & some other factors. Usually, growing to finishing takes 3 – 5 months.
