Your brood sow is a pig factory. And like any factory she
must have the right kind and quality of materials to do her job
right. If she’s not fed right during the gestation period, small
litters may resuTt. To keep up her own body she often resohbs
the tiny embryos ... so you lose pigs you never see!
Condition your sows for big litters of thrifty pigs with
Purina SoW and Pig Chow. The Purina Program is proving its
value on farms throughout the country every day ... it was
built by 32,000 hogs at the Purina Research Farm. It must
be right.
