Feeding the Lactating Sow
By F. Aherne, Swine Nutrition and Management Consultant, Canada - Modern sows are larger, more productive and have smaller appetites than sows of 10 to 15 years ago and they are being bred at a younger age. The consequence of all this is that many sows do not consume sufficient energy or nutrients to meet their nutrient demands and therefore they break down their own body tissues to meet their requirements.
