For The
New Look
BY HAROLD ROGERS
Assistant Extension Editor
CLEMS ON -They can automate
and mechanize a lot of things in
farming, but there are some
areas where that individual touch
is still a must.
One of these is in swine pro
duction, with brood sows.
Carl W. Ackerman, Clem-
son Extension specialist in ani
mal science, puts it this way:
“Any shortage of attention during
the critical breeding and farrow
ing periods will result in reduc
tion of number of pigs weaned and
sold per sow. *
This is one of the keys to the
operation. With feed, labor and
equipment costs going up, the
place to improve the profit pic
ture is in pig production.
“The success of a swine en
terprise will largely be de
termined by the number of live,
healthy pigs farrowed and wean
ed per sow,” Carl says. “After
she has farrowed and weaned only
four or five pigs there is little,
if anything that can be done to
make a profit from the litter.”
That spells out personal atten
tion. The brood sow must have
it if the operation is going to be
successful.
There are also other areas
where careful thought and plan
ning are needed, Ackerman notes.
One of these is location of pas
ture. Too often, according to the
specialist, there is a tendency to
put the sows in low, wet fields
“or in a low swampy wooded area
that is good for nothing else ex
cept raising crawfish or earth
worms.”
He says pasture should be lo
cated on well drained open lots
and based on temporary grazing.
“Summer pasture may take in
the edge of open woods on high
ground to provicknatural shade, ”
Ackerman advises, “but don't go
deep enough in the woods to take
in the stream or wet area-
tempting as it might be becuase
of its cooling effect. ^
Replacement of gilts in another
vital area of the brood sow pro
duction. He says:
“Gilts selected for replace
ments or as foundation stock for
new units should be separated
from other animals around 180
to 200 pounds and placed on limit
ed ration. If on concrete feeding
floors, these gilts should also be
taken off at this time. Leaving
them to heavier weight on con
crete floor will cause more foot
and leg problems when they are
put on the pasture.”
Other cautions and advice are
given on the brood sow produc
tion, including rations, anti
biotics for sows, gestation, and
worming.
Full details are given in Ex
tension newsletter 35, “Pigs and
Pork for South Carolina.”
