How do sow feeding and management techniques allow sows to have more babies
First, use insect killers to remove internal and external parasites to prevent them from being passed on to piglets after delivery.
Second, change feed: Sows should be gradually fed lactation feed ~ days before giving birth to prevent sudden feed change after delivery, which may cause indigestion in sows and diarrhea in piglets.
Third, add or subtract feed: If the sow is in good fat condition and has obvious enlargement, the amount of feed should be gradually reduced during the weeks before delivery, and half of the diet should be reduced by ~ days before delivery and the roughness should be reduced. Large-volume feed such as feed and trough residue should be used to avoid compressing the fetus or causing constipation in prepartum sows and affecting delivery. When symptoms of labor are found, stop feeding and only feed the baby with bean cake and bran soup. If the sow is in poor fat condition and shriveled, not only should the feed not be reduced, but protein lactation feed such as bean cakes should also be fed to prevent the sow from having no milk after delivery.
Fourth, appropriate exercise: Long-distance exercise should be stopped during the prenatal week, and instead, activities should be carried out near the pig house or in the sports field to avoid miscarriage or stillbirth caused by fierce chasing and squeezing.
Fifth, transfer to the farrowing room: Transfer the sow to the farrowing room 3~ days before delivery so that she can become familiar with and accustomed to the new environment and avoid asphyxiation of the fetus caused by intense tossing before delivery. But do not move the sow into the farrowing room too early to avoid contaminating the farrowing pen and reducing the sow's physical strength.
Sixth, pay attention to observation: In the weeks before the sow gives birth, you should always pay attention to the sow's dynamics, strengthen care, and prevent accidents such as premature farrowing and unattended delivery.
Seventh, the sow's delivery period: It is best for the sow to give birth naturally. If the sow cannot give birth naturally or during the delivery time, artificial assisted delivery should be used to shorten the delivery time.
Eighth, postpartum care: When a sow gives birth, her organs undergo drastic changes, and her body's resistance drops significantly. Therefore, sows must be properly cared for after giving birth so that they can recover as soon as possible and resume normal production. During parturition, there is a lot of physical exertion and loss of body fluids. The sows show fatigue and thirst. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare enough warm salt water or Cordyceps fermentation liquid for the sows to drink. In terms of environment, create a hygienic, quiet and fresh air environment for sows. The uterus and birth canal of sows are damaged to varying degrees after giving birth. Pathogenic microorganisms are easy to invade and reproduce, causing harm to the body. Common diseases such as metritis, postpartum fever, [banned word] inflammation, piglet diarrhea and other diseases should be detected early. For early treatment, it is recommended to add sow life elements to the daily mix to provide postpartum care and health care to the sows.
