OBS

Pregnancy and lactation are two different processes, but they are physiologically and nutritionally linked. Nutrients supplied during gestation not only affect the development of the litter, but they can also influence the sow's productivity during lactation. A balanced diet fed throughout the reproductive cycle is critical and should contain the better-quality feed grains.
