Optimal reproductive performance — Profert
Follicles containing eggs that develop into embryos grow from 1−2 to 3−4 mm at the time of weaning. Four to five days after weaning and before the time of ovulation, the follicles increase from 3−4 to 7−8 mm. The additional supply of nutrients of a certain nutrient composition during this period can support such rapid growth, thus increasing the reproductive capacity of sows.
