A complete and total update on Sow Management, Farrowing and Lactation with the most comprehensive and effective program on the online educational market”

The progressive increase in world demand for meat in recent decades has led to a response from the swine industry, a species that already presents rapid growth and low conversion rate, progressively increasing its production, not just through growth but, more importantly, through optimization, technification and adaptation to use the resources available at any given time and place.   

The current trend is a decrease in the number of farms, but an increase in size and in technology and facilities improvement help raise performance and thus competitiveness.

A great genetic advance is taking place that boosts their performance, standardizes the final product that reaches consumers and offers a great specialization in the manufacture of feed, resulting in productive growth capable of responding to the current rise in demand.  

If the swine production system is divided into three phases, this is the first one: "Piglet production" has a great impact especially with the above, since it is undoubtedly the aspect that requires the greatest investment effort in infrastructure and the one that demands the most specialized labor.
