To feed piglets that have lost their mother or are born in very large nests, or are developmentally delayed, farrowing sows are used.

For this purpose, it is better to take animals that have plenty of milk and lactation lasts more than 3-4 weeks after the other sows in their group have already been weaned.

In addition to replanting piglets, sows with high lactation can be used for milk enrichment in cowsheds to provide milk to nests where sows have little milk.
