The Squeal_0258: Boar Robustness: Feeding Strategy – The Squeal
Nutrition is one of the most powerful tools we have to build and maintain boar robustness, but successful feeding goes far beyond simply filling feeders. In Part 2 of our Boar Robustness series, we take a closer look at the feeding strategies that support boar longevity, fertility, and overall performance throughout every stage of life. Our host, Carine Vier, PIC Nutritionist is joined by Dr. Steve Dritz, PIC Sr. Nutitionist and Amanda Middleton, PIC GTC Manager for this conversation. Our experts discuss how nutritional requirements change over time, the importance of body condition management, common feeding challenges, and practical adjustments that can help boars perform at their best. Whether you're managing young developing boars or mature working boars, this episode provides actionable insights to help maximize health, productivity, and long-term value. Tune in to learn how thoughtful feeding decisions can strengthen the foundation of a robust boar program.
