Body condition
Keeping the right sow body condition in all stages is essential to maximise productivity at the most efficient utilisation of feed, hence minimising the feed consumption. It is customary to evaluate sows when exiting the farrowing unit. Optimally, however, a body condition scoring should be done just after insemination, and one or two times during gestation. These scorings enables the farm manager to adjust the feeding level and reach appropriate sow weight and body condition when entering the farrowing unit. The right body condition which will lead to a good appetite, that in combination with a moderate weight loss, will provide the best conditions for optimal milk production.
