Piglet quality is extremely important in maximizing a hog farmer’s income. Still, many will debate if increasing feed intake in late gestation to improve pig quality will bring enough return on investment.Past research has shown that increasing feed intake in late gestation, commonly referred to as bump feeding, improves piglet birth weight in gilts but generally not in sows. However, bump feeding has been shown to increase colostrum production. Research at North Carolina State University examined if bump feeding in late gestation would have a positive impact on piglet quality.
