Three to five days. This takes place every twenty eight to thirty days, after she reaches sexual maturity.
3-5 days after weaning.
* Boar = Uncastrated male pig * Hog = Castrated male pig * Sow = Female adult pig * Shoat = Piglet after weaning
Yes. A way that AI techs (Artificial Insemination technicians) test to see if a sow or gilt is ready to be bred is to sit on their backs to see if they will stand still. If the sow or gilt stands still when pressure is put on her hips (imitating the weight of the boar's front when he mounts to breed her), then she's ready to be bred. Her vulva will also be swollen and red, which is an indicator that she's in heat. Sows will have a period where they stand to get bred, but they also have a period during their heat cycle (which is before and after standing heat) where they will not. It can be quite noisy and a bit violent during this period. The sow or gilt will go after the boar and vice versa, and sometimes fights and squabbles can break out--and even if they are tame pet, you do NOT want to be in the way of such "courting" behaviour. But as time goes on, the sow/gilt will come to accept the boar and let him mount and breed her.
A sow will come into heat every 21 days, but once she is pregnant, the gestation period lasts 115 days. She has to nurse the piglets before becoming pregnant again, so a sow will typically only reproduce twice a year.
A boar is a male pig that has never been castrated. A barrow is a male that has been castrated. A sow is a female pig that has had at least 1 litter of piglets. A female that has never had a litter is called a gilt.
A Sow (Sss-Ow) [rhymes with cow]
* Boar = Uncastrated male pig * Hog = Castrated male pig * Sow = Female adult pig * Shoat = Piglet after weaning
It means she is "in heat" or ready to mate.
A guinea pig sow will normally start showing around 3 weeks after mating, but just barely. Her sides will start to bulge out, and it will look like she has two bumps on her sides. A guinea pig will give birth around 59-79 days after mating, so mark your calendars and keep an eye out!
You can sow at any time you have the right conditions, but, the heat and light available must be maintained throughout the life of the plant.

just say its free and she come running
The simple present tense for "sow" is: I sow, you sow, he/she/it sows, we sow, they sow.

A polar bear sow can have anywhere from one to four to a litter. Most times, though, only one or two cubs out of that litter survive to weaning age or to one year of age.
Well, male guinea pigs can mate when there about 3 and a half weeks old.
