Recommendations on how to feed a Pigs:

Fed for Growth by Free Access Feeding
Feeding Using Diets
Use of Lysine, Energy and Nutrients at specific stages of growth.
Adequate Water Spaces
Feed Spaces

Required Temperature for 140-180 days of age gilts.

68 degree F.

Lighting recommendation for gilts:

1. 8-10 hours a day

Gilts should be maintained in groups within ____________ at least until they express first estrus.

Pens

The procedures that aid in induction of puberty in gilts involve:

1. Some remixing stress with other new females. 2. Some relocation or transportation event. 3. Start of exposure to a mature boar.

How many percentage in the process of induction of puberty in gilts?

20-40% within a 10-20 day period.

How many percentage gilts assumed to cycle randomly within 5 days in a normal 20 day estrous cycle?

25%

The most critical for gilts, as crowding can be detrimental to puberty and growth rate.

Floor Space

Required time of exposure between160-180 day of age gilts each day.

30 minutes

What is the required time of a boar to access in a gilt pen?

15-30 minutes

Required feeds for 10 to 14 weeks of age (PIG)

Starter (18% CP)

Required feeds for 14-20 weeks of age (PIG)

Grower (16%CP)

Required feeds for 20 to 32 weeks of age (PIG)

Breeder

Replacement animals should be introduced & acclimatized to the normal microflora of the farm by:

1. Introduction of the fecal material inside the pen taken from older stocks. 2. Contact with older animals like boar or sow. 3. Feeding with small amount of chopped placenta, aborted piglets or intestines of piglets which died from diarrhea. 4. All of this practice would improve the resistance of the animal & coming litter against common diseases affecting farm animals.

After Weaning

After culling
