Feed Purina’Sow Chow’of Course.
Yes, Purina Sow Chow has been built through many
years of careful nutritional studies on nearly 6,000
litters of pigs at Punna’s Research Farm.
Purina Sow Chow has everything your sow needs to
help her develop, farrow and nurse big litters of
husky pigs and maintain her own body weight at
the same time.
Authorities estimate that 20% to 33% of all pig
embryos conceived are resorbed by the sow early in
the gestation period, if she is fed a poorly balanced
ration As a result, hogmen who don't feed their sows
properly lose lots of pigs they never even see 1 That’s
why it pays to feed a proved ration like Purina
