Industry Experts Share Solutions to Boost Sow Performance
SowBridge (Iowa State) is hosting a new educational webinar focused on managing large pig litters and strengthening sow productivity. The session is part of an ongoing monthly SowBridge webinar series designed to deliver timely and practical information to pig producers across the country.
The webinar features experienced swine industry professionals who share real-world strategies for handling the challenges that come with larger litter sizes. As modern pig production continues to increase litter numbers, producers face added pressure related to sow nutrition, piglet survival, and animal care. The session explains simple approaches that producers can apply directly to their operations.
The program will take place online using Zoom, allowing farmers to attend from any location. This flexible format supports participation from busy producers who may not be able to travel for in-person meetings. Each webinar session is recorded and made available to registered participants, giving them the option to review the information later.
SowBridge focuses on sow production topics that support long-term farm success. Each month, new speakers and subjects are introduced to address current challenges and emerging practices in pig farming. The series encourages better planning, informed decision-making, and improved animal welfare.
Producers can register for the full SowBridge webinar series through the organization’s website. A single registration fee provides access to all live sessions and recorded content throughout the year. This approach allows producers to continue learning while managing daily farm responsibilities.
The webinar series supports producers who want to improve sow comfort, piglet growth, and overall productivity. By offering expert insights, practical guidance, and easy access to education, SowBridge helps farmers strengthen their pig operations and stay informed about best management practices.
