The barn must be in a good with a floor that is completely and without holes where the poles can be damaged by the legs, preferably 50 percent solid floor. There must be light, good indoor climate, plenty of feeding places and free access to plenty of clean water.

It is important that age and weight are known on the gutters in order to be properly fed.
Depending on the age of the gilts at the time of purchase, check for brown from day one, and first brown must be noted. This makes it easier to organize the right number of gilts in the running teams when they arrive for running.
If Altresyn is used, the gate must have had a first heat so also in that case it is important to note the first heat.
Gilt should have between 1.2 and 1.5 square meters per square meter. gilt.
It is a good idea to collect the gilts in groups by age and size . As a result, the chances of them getting in heat are almost at the same time.
