A summary of points from Cranbrook Swine Ltd to increase weaning capacity, and increase teat development in gilts. This was attempted by loading P1 with 15-17 piglets, P2 with 14-15, and other sows with their weaning average plus one. Increasing weaned pigs/sows should decrease lactation feed/pig and provide more uniform weaning numbers.
