Intake - From the moment that sows come into the maternity shed, they must receive 2kg per day (1kg in the mornings and 1kg in the evenings). For the first day after piglets are born, sows will still receive the same amount of feed. Second day after giving birth, she must receive ½kg up to 1kg per day more (or if it seems that she eats more, ad lib, 1kg per hour) [Phase 2].
