Understanding Pig Gestation

Pig gestation typically lasts about 114 days (approximately 16 weeks). This period can vary slightly between sows, but 114 days is considered the standard reference point.

The expected farrowing date is calculated by simply adding 114 days to the breeding date. This calculation helps farmers and breeders prepare for the arrival of piglets by ensuring adequate facilities and resources are available.

Important Notes

  • This calculator provides an estimated farrowing date based on the standard gestation period.
  • For more precise timing, consult with a veterinarian or animal breeding specialist.
  • The actual farrowing date may vary by a few days in individual animals.
