How to take care of a sow after giving birth
How to take care of a sow after giving birth, there are a few key points to look at. Below, Manager Zhang will share his views with you on some measures
Safe delivery: Signs of labor: Look three times and squeeze.
At first glance, [forbidden word] was swollen and drooping from the back to the front in the days before delivery. Before delivery, [forbidden word] was swollen and shiny, and [forbidden word] was swollen on both sides. , separated outwards in a figure of eight. Commonly known as nipple explosion, it will be released soon.
Secondly, look at the tail base. The vulva is red and swollen, and the sides of the tail base are slightly sunken, but this cannot be seen in fatter sows.
The third look showed that the sow was restless in getting up and lying down, had loss of appetite, had mucus flowing out of her vulva, and was scratching grass to make a nest. Introduced varieties do not show this behavior, they just push the grass together and urinate frequently. Childbirth will occur within hours to hours after this behavior occurs.
One squeeze means [forbidden word] is squeezed, and [forbidden word] can express milk within days to 3 days before delivery. When the front [forbidden word] can express milk, the delivery time does not exceed days. If the last pair of [prohibited words] can also express milk, delivery will be possible in about an hour.
, delivery operation
The average time required for normal delivery is about hours, and the average delivery interval is minutes. The smaller the number of offspring, the longer the interval between each offspring. Deliveries should cut their nails short and wash their arms with soap before delivery. The entire delivery process should be kept quiet and movements should be accurate and quick. Generally, a sow will give birth to her first piglet 3 minutes after her water breaks. When the piglet is delivered, you should immediately use your fingers to remove the mucus from its mouth, and then use soft bedding to wipe the mucus clean from its mouth, nose and body to prevent clogging, affecting the piglet's breathing and reducing the evaporation of water from the body surface. Prevent piglets from catching colds. The afterbirth of some piglets has not yet broken after birth. The delivery personnel should tear the afterbirth with their hands immediately to prevent the piglet from suffocating to death. Then fix the base of the umbilical cord with your hand, pinch the umbilical cord with the other hand, and slowly pull the umbilical cord out of the birth canal. Do not pull the umbilical cord through the piglet. Pull the umbilical cord toward the pig a few times, and then tie it with a thread a few centimeters away from the pig. Disinfect the cross section with iodine. The umbilical cord left on the abdominal wall of the pig will dry up and fall off after three or four days.
Immediately after cutting the umbilical cord, place the piglet under an infrared lamp to dry the body. Then assist the piglet to breastfeed. If the piglet sucks milk too late, it will cause the piglet to become stiff.
Artificial midwifery. If the sow has strong labor pains, her tail is curled up, her breathing is rapid, her heartbeat is accelerated, and she repeatedly makes movements about giving birth, but no piglets are produced, artificial assisted delivery should be performed at this time. First, massage the sow [forbidden word] vigorously, and then press the sow’s abdomen to help her give birth. If repeated compressions for half an hour are still ineffective, oxytocin can be injected. The dosage is calculated in milliliters per kilogram of body weight. The baby can be delivered in half an hour. If the injection of oxytocin still does not work, surgical removal should be performed, and the sow should be injected with penicillin and streptomycin after surgery to prevent infection.
The afterbirth is discharged about 3 minutes after all the piglets are delivered. There are also cases where the afterbirth is discharged while the piglets are being delivered. If you see that the discharged afterbirth finally forms a plug, it means that all the afterbirth has been discharged and the birth is over. You can judge whether the number of umbilical cords on the afterbirth is consistent with the number of babies born. When the sow is extremely tired or has weak uterine contractions, hormones can be injected to promote the discharge of the afterbirth. It should be taken away immediately after discharge to prevent the sow from swallowing it, affecting digestion and forming a bad habit of eating piglets. The afterbirth can be washed, added with kelp or boiled in soup, and fed to the sow in batches to promote lactation.
After delivery, the uterus begins to contract immediately, and the vulvar folds recover on the first day and return to normal within about a week.
Postpartum care of sows
In principle, sows should not be fed within hours after giving birth, but only bean cake, bran soup or other thin foods. You should not overfeed within 1 to 3 days after delivery. Feed more green materials. Feeding can not be started until a week later.
Primiparous sows are prone to loss of appetite or not eating after delivery, usually due to feeding too early after delivery, feeding too much, too thick, or eating the afterbirth, causing indigestion. Insufficient green material can cause constipation and loss of appetite in sows, or it may affect normal digestive function due to reduced abdominal pressure after delivery. If sows have no milk or insufficient milk after giving birth, they can feed millet porridge, soy milk, afterbirth, small fish, shrimp soup, etc. to induce lactation, or use drugs to induce lactation. The sow's vitality can be taken once and it will take effect in a few hours.
