GILT DEVELOPMENT

Proper gilt development serves as the foundation of the sow herd, yet this critical area of swine production often gets undermanaged and receives little research attention. In this session, we challenge the status quo with innovative solutions designed to increase gilt performance and longevity of the herd.
