More piglets emerging
18 03 2008
Delilah, our Berkshire sow that’s farrowing tonight, has now delivered 12 live piglets and one dead one.
The placenta had separated on the dead one, so it suffocated before it was delivered.
Another afterbirth has also been delivered so that may be it.
Weights for the final three live ones:
Piglet 10: 1.10kg
Piglet 11: 1.00kg
Piglet 12: 1.20kg
And the dead one:
Piglet 13: 1.20kg
Good job Delilah. Hope all the piglets thrive. Can’t wait to see pics.
Well done Delilah, and aren’t the piglets cute.
Thanks so much for sharing this! Cute!
Wow, what an amazing litter…surely larger than usual?…how do the individual weights compare to her previous lot…and to your “average” (I know little about pigs, but am curious)
excellent. 12 is good.
