Once she's in-pig, she'll not come back into season and if she doesn't come into season she won't stand for him.

This is what I don't understand,I am doing nothing differently to what I usually do. The 3 boars all have their own ladies so no competition there. The sows get swapped around after farrowing.
They are all on a 16% protein feed that is grains ,molasses etc mixed by a local grain merchant and been using that for about 2 years.
The girls are all healthy and no weight problems. I don't increase the feed prior to season but never have. I don't feed them parsnips or citrus. I plant up pens as they become empty with a stubble turnip and forage rape mix and they go in there when its ready.
I have cut their feed down slightly because the only thing I could think of was weight but I really don't think it is as it seems to be all of them.
Hopefully it is just the weather because I couldn't eat all that pork

I was going to ask are you running them on clover-rich pasture (clover contains oestrogen, acts like a contraceptive pill, apparently!) but clearly you are not.

no eggs are different you Carnot feed eggs to pigs but you can feed pancake mixture as the egg content is smaller than the rest of the ingredients

so u could get ur own eggs, own milk, add flour and mix it in ur own feed room and thats fine? but then u need a license to mix the feeds? or u cud layer it in a bucket?

well princess if you make pancakes in a feed room that is up to you 
your good point should be raised with defra or your local enviromental health/trading standards
