Piglets prepare the sow
Strong, active piglets will stimulate the sow to produce the maximum amount of milk.
The release of prolactin and the amount so released, which stimulates the mammary glands (udder) to produce milk, is stimulated by piglets by their massaging of the udder. The production of prolactin also contributes to the suppression of heat during the entire lactation.
