WHY THE sow transition PROGRAM WORKS FOR YOU
Farrowing is one of the most demanding stages in a sow’s life. Ideally, the process should be completed within three to five hours, as a smooth transition is important for both sow performance and piglet vitality. During this time, the sow undergoes major physiological and metabolic changes. She must quickly move from gestation to lactation, redirect nutrients, and begin milk production to give her litter the best possible start.
Without the right nutritional and physiological support, this transition can challenge both sow condition and piglet performance. That is why AHV developed the Sow Transition Program, specifically designed to help sows cope with the shift from gestation to lactation.
AHV FarrowPREP provides essential energy, minerals, and bioactive compounds, including Quorum Sensing Influence (QSI) technology, which supports gut stability and helps maintain resilience during the farrowing process. AHV Metri Paste delivers targeted support after farrowing, promoting feed intake, recovery, and milk production in sows that need additional assistance.
By providing the right support at the right time, AHV Sow Transition Products contribute to smoother farrowing, quicker recovery, sustained milk production, and more uniform, resilient piglets.
Healthy Guts, Better Growth and Smoother Operations
With 400 sows and 2,200 finishing pigs, Hans Wilmsen from Ysselsteyn has no shortage of work. For him, it is therefore extra important that everything in the barn runs smoothly. “I just want everything to run smoothly in the barn. That may cost a little extra, but with products like this, you get both: it runs smoothly and it makes money. What more could you want?”
