Pig pregnancy, also known as gestation in sows, is the period where piglets form and grow inside the sow's uterus, from the attachment of fertilized embryos until just before birth (parturition). This period typically lasts about 115 days, or approximately 3 months, 3 weeks, and 3 days.
Here's a breakdown:
- Gestation Period: The time frame from conception to birth.
- Fetal Development: The growth and development of the piglets inside the sow.
Here's a summary in a table:
