MILK FLOW - HORMONAL BLOCKING

  • 5 minutes

Progesterone in the uterus blocks milk production. Only when the birth process is complete and the after-births have been delivered does this blocker stop.

Prolactin is important, especially in the last third of gestation, for proper udder-development. Furthermore prolactin is the main milk-promoting hormone during lactation.

Be aware of endotoxins and inflammations in the sow!
Endotoxins i.e E.coli endotoxins and inflammatory processes inhibit these milk-hormones.

Avoid vaccination during the first 10 days of life*: Energy-intake may be impaired because pigs that are vaccinated need more time before they resume sucking the sow again.
