Farrowing is when the piglets are born. The sow usually has nine to ten piglets. Most pigs are farrowed in climate-controlled houses where the mother is kept in a crate to prevent her from injuring the pigs as she lies down.
Growing is the time from weaning to finishing. The pigs are weaned at 40 to 60 pounds and are placed with other pigs of similar size, age, and sex in a confinement operation. They are fed a high-protein diet to promote growth and muscle development.
Finishing begins at 20 weeks. This is the time where they are fed to reach proper market weight and condition. They should be finished at a desired weight of 220 to 260 pounds.
