Appetite maintenance

Many experienced pig farms will also encounter the problem of sows not eating after delivery, so sow appetite maintenance is particularly important. There are three main points. One is to take material restriction measures for prenatal sows with moderate fat condition, so that sows can form a strong appetite before delivery and continue to give birth. The second is that the first sip of water drunk by sows after delivery is preferably warm bran salt soup, which can effectively prevent gastric discomfort caused by drinking. The third is to strictly follow the daily increase in feeding plan within one week after delivery. Of course, postpartum vaccination is also a very effective measure, with special attention to the prevention of mastitis and metritis.

Postpartum milk guarantee

The key to whether the milk of sows is good or not is whether the fat level is controlled well in the early stage of pregnancy. Generally, it is required to control the fat level at 70% or medium fat level around 84-90 days of pregnancy. Only the nutritional reserves completed by sows in the late stage or one month before labor can be quickly converted into milk after delivery. Sows with poor milk level are generally overfed in the early stage of pregnancy, excluding health factors.

Increase the newborn weight of suckling pigs.

The birth weight of suckling pigs is a very important indicator in the process of raising pigs. Generally, the survival rate of suckling pigs with a birth weight of less than 1kg is only about 50%, while the key to improving the birth weight is the nutritional supply in the month before labor, while the nutritional supply of sows in the month before labor is determined by the situation in the early stage of pregnancy of sows. That is to say, the better the fat condition of sows in the early stage of pregnancy, the greater the supply of feed in the later stage, the more it can meet the needs of rapid fetal growth, and the greater the birth weight may be. Du long three miscellaneous pigs generally have an average birth weight of about 1.5kg.

driving heavy-born sows

When sows with heavy births go to bed, they also make their pig-raising friends feel embarrassed. They can't lift them, can't drive them away, and can't move them. Although they are only a few, they really have a headache and waste too much manpower and time. The method is to use a basket or bag larger than the head, put on the pig's head to adjust the direction, and let the pig walk back without moving forward, which is simple and convenient.
