Sows typically go into heat, or estrus, every 21 days, although this can vary between 18 to 24 days depending on the individual animal. The heat cycle lasts about 48 to 72 hours, during which the sow is receptive to mating. Proper management and observation are essential during this period to optimize breeding success.

Do sows bleed during breeding?

Sows may experience some vaginal bleeding during breeding, particularly if they are in heat and the cervix is stimulated. This bleeding can be normal and is often associated with the physiological changes that occur during estrus. However, excessive or abnormal bleeding could indicate a health issue, and it’s advisable for producers to monitor the sow's condition closely. If there are concerns about bleeding, consulting a veterinarian is recommended.
