Wow 19 piglets is a lot! I think the most I have ever recorded was 16 by a farm down south. Great job for the new mama!
I personally do not do anything with their teeth. I would definitely have someone experienced with castrating do the job. This is the job I hate the most. I have moved piglets that weren’t thriving to another sow just to help them out. I have never had an issue with doing this as long as you know which pig came from which sow before you begin notching.
As far as record keeping, fill out the litter registration form here on our website. If you have any questions, please give me a call.
Congratulations on your first litters!
