What to Do If a Boar Won't Mount a Sow? Causes and Solutions

SummaryA boar not mounting a sow may be a problem with the boar itself, which can be changed through training. The training methods are to increase exercise and use external stimulation to make the boar respond to the sow. You can find a way to let the boar get used to the sow's smell using the sow's urine, so as to achieve the desired effect. You can also make changes in the diet, feeding more green food to stimulate the boar's desire, and the best approach is still to put the boar and the sow together.

1. Increase exercise

Let the boar move freely, or be driven to move. Then let the sow join in as well, so as to stimulate the boar and make it take action.

2. Stimulating behavior

Drive a sow in heat around the boar, so as to make the boar aroused and achieve the goal. Or pen a boar with good libido together with a boar of ordinary libido, so that when one is mating, the other will also be stimulated and respond.

3. Special methods

Put the sow's urine in the boar pen to let the boar get used to the sow's smell, or manually stimulate the boar's genitals, so as to stimulate the boar to respond to the sow.

4. Diet

Feed the boar some wild green, succulent food over the long term, which has a stimulating effect; this method has no effect in the short term.

5. Observation and handling

If the boar you bought does not respond to one sow, it is recommended to switch to another sow; if there is still no response, it means the boar is not ready, and it is recommended that the seller train it further, or cull it.
