Hog reproduction rate - 01/15/21 04:11 PM
Has anyone found a reliable figure that removing X hogs is like removing Xxx hogs over a year ?
Say if it was a factor of 10, then removing 25 would equal 250 over a year factoring in reproduction. Averaged across boars and sows, I think 10 is a good estimate. Big sows are going to have 2 litters per year and the first litter females could potentially breed once in the same year.
