We ask a lot from our sows and put great effort into improving their performance. However, in many cases, they don't produce enough milk and colostrum in order to sustain the maximum growth of the piglets. That's why optimizing the milking capacity of sows and stimulating their mammary development is so essential – that’s also why we have invited one of the pioneers in that topic for today’s episode: Dr. Chantal Farmer. From Canada to the whole world, Dr. Farmer's vast experience and research have contributed a lot to the global swine industry, especially regarding sow lactation biology. She explains the details of mammary development and shares the results of her recent studies in this area, bringing her perspective on practical improvements for sow farms that producers should consider making.

#03 - Learning from the best: the latest updates on mammary development in sows - Dr. Chantal Farmer

As we continue to genetically select for sows to produce more pigs, it is important that we ensure they are getting adequate milk from the sow, but there may be more ways to help this other than maximizing feed intake during lactation. In this episode, I talk with Dr. Chantal Farmer about her recent study on increasing lysine in the gestation period to further increase mammary development in gestating gilts and hopefully consequently increase the milk yield capacity during lactation.  Dr. Farmer is a research scientist in sow lactation biology working at the Sherbrooke Research and Development Centre of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. She obtained her B.Sc. from McGill University (1980), her M.Sc. from the University of Saskatchewan (1982), and her Ph.D. from Pennsylvania State University (1986). Dr. Farmer’s research goal is to increase sow milk yield, hence piglet growth. She was a pioneer in studying mammary development in gilts and sows and identifying factors affecting it. She has published over 150 scientific manuscripts, 7 book chapters, and is the sole editor of a recently published book entitled “The gestating and lactating sow” that was also translated and published in Chinese.
