Can you feel her ribs but not see them?

That’s the sweet spot.
When to score: – At weaning – 30 days post-mating – Before farrowing
What to aim for: – At 30 days pregnant, at least 85% of your sows should be in optimal condition. – Too thin = lower feed intake in lactation, poor piglet growth – Too heavy = increased risk of farrowing problems and poor rebreeding

Regular checks = healthier sows, smoother farrowings, and faster rebreeding. It’s a small habit that pays big.

Breeding the sow of the future starts today. How?

With Maternal GNX.

Our Maternal GNX program captures phenotypic and genomic data on thousands of crossbred daughters raised in commercial settings. With over 150,000 records collected per year, this real-world production data is used to strengthen our selection index, resulting in accelerated genetic progress.

That’s just one way we’re advancing sow longevity. Discover others: https://bit.ly/456sBeN
