Approximately 115 days from breeding day these girls will have babies. We use artificial insemination because it is a very useful tool to introduce superior genes into our sow herd, with minimal risk for disease transmission. Fresh diluted semen (3 billion spermatozoa in 80-100 ml)per dose, is used two to three times on each female at breeding. The boar semen is delivered to the farm 3 times a week from a boar stud in North Central Kansas.
