1. *Lactation Period*: Sows typically nurse their piglets for 3-4 weeks, with some farms weaning earlier (around 2 weeks) or later (around 5-6 weeks).
2. *Colostrum*: Sows produce colostrum, a nutrient-rich milk, in the first few days after farrowing, which provides essential antibodies and nutrients to newborn piglets.
3. *Milk Composition*: Sow's milk is rich in protein, fat, and carbohydrates, providing piglets with the necessary nutrients for growth and development.
4. *Peak Lactation*: Sows typically reach peak lactation around 3-4 weeks after farrowing, with milk production declining thereafter.
5. *Nutritional Requirements*: Lactating sows have high nutritional requirements to support milk production, and their diet should be formulated to meet these needs, ensuring optimal piglet growth and sow health.
