What are the stages of Farrowing?

The stages of farrowing in pigs typically include nesting behavior, the onset of labor contractions, delivery of piglets, and the expulsion of the afterbirth. The process can last several hours, with each piglet being born approximately 15-20 minutes apart. It is important to provide a clean and quiet environment for the sow during farrowing to reduce stress and ensure successful delivery.

It is not possible to prevent E. coli in swine, as E. coli is a necessary bacteria for healthy digestion and intestinal function. However, it is possible to greatly reduce the prevalence of E. coli diarrhea in piglets in the first week after farrowing by focusing on sanitation and hygiene in the farrowing crates.


Why pigs should not be fed prior to farrowing?

The more a pig is fed prior to farrowing, the more weight it gains. The problem with this is that if there is too much fat around the mammaries, they become hard because they are filled with milk that cannot escape, meaning in turn that piglets cannot suckle milk and cannot receive their colostrums.
