The physical size of gestating sows.

Journal of animal science - 1 Aug 2004

McGlone J J, Vines B, Rudine A C, DuBois P

Abstract excerpt

Two hundred ninety-six gestating sows were used to determine the physical dimensions of sows in commercial settings. Sows were examined from five farms within a single production model that included identical feed formulation, management practices, herd health, and similar, but not identical, genotypes. Sows were individually weighed, backfat thickness was determined by ultrasound, and body dimensions were...
