Abstract


The milk production of sows is influenced by genetic and environmental factors, but through its specialization, the raising of piglets for fattening by increasing prolificacy requires special management measures specific to the puerperium, for the economy of exploitation. The daily milk production of the sows has an ascending trend from the eighth day to 21 days reaching the maximum level during this period, it is kept in the plateau for a few days then it starts to decrease up to 28 days of lactation. For the efficient exploitation of sows for the production of piglets for fattening, prolonging lactation in sows after 28 days is not beneficial due to the decrease in the index of use of sows and obtaining a lower number of piglets per sow per year. Stimulating the milk production of sows in the puerperium can be achieved by implementing new managerial measures that contribute to improving the management of the puerperium and directing nutrition according to the evolution of the puerperium period.
