Umbarger Sow Lactation is engineered for the highest-demand phase in a sow’s production cycle. Once a sow farrows, nutritional demands increase dramatically — both to support her own body condition and to produce high-quality milk for her litter. This ration emphasizes a higher energy and protein profile than gestation rations, with a balanced pellet designed for consistent intake when sows need it most.

The formulation includes elevated lysine and key amino acids to support milk synthesis and tissue repair, plus a fortified vitamin and mineral package that helps maintain sow condition throughout lactation. Sows on this feed can better support larger litters and help piglets reach growth targets before weaning — a major advantage in commercial and show herds alike.

Pelleted form promotes consistent consumption and minimizes sorting, which matters a great deal when appetite can swing drastically in early lactation.

Key Benefits

  • Higher energy & protein profile to fuel milk production

  • Elevated lysine and amino acids for tissue repair and milk quality

  • Designed to maintain sow condition through nursing

  • Pelleted for consumption consistency and reduced waste

  • Helps support piglet growth, survival, and uniformity

  • Fortified with vitamins and minerals tailored to lactation demands

Choose this feed if:

  • A sow has recently farrowed and is nursing piglets

  • You want to maximize milk production and piglet growth

  • Maintaining sow body condition and longevity matters

  • You prefer a pelleted format for consistent consumption during a demanding phase

Sow Lactation may not be the best choice if:

  • The sow is still in the gestation phase (use Sow Gestation)

  • Your goal is feeding show pigs or growers — this is a reproductive ration

  • You’re managing weaned pigs or finishers (use appropriate grow/finisher feeds)

  • You require a textured feed system rather than pellet (adapt feeding strategy accordingly)

  • Your program prefers non-pelleted feeds for feeding style or equipment limitations

Sow Lactation is a complete pelleted feed specifically formulated to provide lactating sows with the nutrient density and balanced amino acids they need for peak milk production, body condition maintenance, and reproductive success.
