If feeding is mainly flour based food or grains, piglets’ growth is fast, and their slaughtering could be envisaged earlier:
- 15kg at 2months
- 30 kg at 3 months
- 100 kg at 7months
The required food quantities are as follows:
|
Age (months) |
Weight(kg) |
Quantity of blended food per day (kg) |
|
2.5 months |
20 |
Kg 1(growth) |
|
3.5 months |
30 |
Kg 1.4(growth) |
|
4 months |

Kg 1.8 (growth) |
|
4.5 months |
50 |
Kg 2.2(growth) |
|
5-7months |
60-100 |
Kg 2,5(fattening ) |
Sow feeding is determined according to weight and to the number of piglets to be nursed.
Example:
|
Weight of the sow (kg) |
Quantity of concentrated feed to be provided per day (kg) |

Feeding for pregnant sows or at the age of mating depends on its weight.
