Gestation period for swine
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
C
Gestation period for swine is 114 days.
Fetal development occurs between attachments of fertilized embryos to the uterus, to the days right before parturition (birth). The length of time a sow is pregnant, or gestating, is about 115 days, or 3 months, 3 weeks, and 3 days.
During this time the piglets go through different phases of development, which we will separate into 5 major phases: Day 0 - 15, Day 13 - 30, Day 30 - 77, Day 77 - 90, Day 90 - 114.
