Frequently Asked Questions

How long is a pig pregnancy?

Sow gestation is famously '3 months, 3 weeks and 3 days' β€” 114 days total (range 112–116). This tight window makes farrowing easy to predict.

How can I confirm a sow is pregnant?

Watch for a missed estrus at day 21 post-breeding. Ultrasound from day 21 confirms pregnancy. From day 35, ultrasound can count piglets.

How many piglets does a sow have?

Average modern commercial litter: 10–14 piglets. Heritage breeds: 6–10. Second-parity and later sows typically have larger litters than gilts (first-timers).

When do I move the sow to a farrowing crate?

7–10 days before expected farrowing (around day 104–107). This reduces stress and allows her to adapt to the environment.

What are signs of farrowing?

Udder develops days 110–112, vulva swells 24 hours before, nest-building behavior, milk let-down when nipples squeezed, decreased appetite. Farrowing lasts 2–5 hours.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Not separating the sow at day 110 β€” she needs a quiet farrowing crate/pen.
  • High-energy diet last trimester β€” increases piglet size and dystocia risk. Feed gestation ration.

Pro tips

  • Piglets born outside the 113-115 day window warrant vet consult.
  • Provide a heat lamp/pad β€” piglets can't thermoregulate early.
