Expert Tip

Gestation in swine is traditionally calculated using the rule of thumb: 3 months, 3 weeks, and 3 days (114 days). Keep temperature in the farrowing house between 65-75ยฐF (18-24ยฐC).

Calculation Methodology & Details

๐Ÿ“

Gestation Formula

Due Date = Breeding Date + 114 days

Swine pregnancy calculation is based on the 114-day gestation standard (range: 111-117 days). Pregnancy starts at mating.

Clinical Considerations

Gestation durations can vary based on animal breed, age, litter size, and genetic factors. If you observe signs of distress or if delivery departs significantly from the calculated date, consult a veterinarian immediately.

How to Calculate Pig Due Date: Step-by-Step

Calculate the farrowing window with these steps:

1

Note breeding date

Note the exact day the sow was bred naturally or artificially inseminated.

2

Apply the Rule

Add 3 months, 3 weeks, and 3 days (114 days total) to find the due date.

3

Prepare crates

Transfer the sow to her farrowing crate at day 110.
