They can usually be fed at 10 o'clock in the morning, 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and 10 o'clock in the evening, but piglets still need to be fed once at 2 o'clock in the morning.

1. What Time Is Better for Feeding Pigs

1. Pigs have a clear circadian rhythm, and most of their activity occurs during the day. However, in warm seasons, they also have a small amount of activity and feed intake at night. In cold and overcast weather, the activity time will be shortened. The day and night activity of pigs also varies depending on age and production characteristics.

2. The average day and night rest time of piglets is 60%-70%, that of breeding pigs is 70%, that of sows is 80%-85%, and that of fattening pigs is 70%-85%. The rest peak is in the middle of the night, and there is less rest at around 8 o'clock in the morning. They can usually be fed at 10 o'clock in the morning, 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and 10 o'clock in the evening, but piglets still need to be fed once at 2 o'clock in the morning.
