What is a pig eating pig? It occurs mostly in gilts.

The situation of sows eating piglets mainly occurs in first-born sows, because there are not enough nutrients in feed; sows have eaten raw bones and meat in stillbirth, placenta and swill, which is similar to that of newborn piglets; other litter piglets mistakenly enter this circle, sows smell wrong; sows do not have milk or the number of piglets exceeds the number of nipples, resulting in milk biting nipples; newborn sows are very painful because of narrow birth canal. Sows can not replenish water in time after giving birth.

How do sows eat piglets?

Sows eating piglets generally occur in the first birth sows, because the first production has no relevant experience, it is easy to lead to nervous tension, if the piglets arch and squeeze the sows at this time, it is easy to stimulate the sows, resulting in sows biting the piglets.

The reason why sows eat their young.

1, feed nutrients are not enough, a serious lack of vitamins, protein and minerals, sows are very thin.

2. Sows have eaten raw flesh in placenta, stillbirth or swill, and the taste of newborn piglets is similar.

3. if the piglet string of other nests is mistakenly entered into this circle, if the sow smells wrong, it will bite, bite to death, and then eat it.

4. Sows have no milk because they are too fat or too thin, and the number of babies born exceeds the number of nipples. As a result, piglets compete for milk and bite their nipples when they fight for milk. When sows bite piglets in pain, they will bite, bite to death, and then eat them.

5. Due to the narrow birth canal, the newborn sow is very painful when it is born to pigs. If it is mistakenly thought that the piglet bites it, it will come back and bite the piglet.

6. Sows have just finished giving birth, are very thirsty, and have no way to drink water in time. At this time, they will also eat piglets.

Solution method

1, timely provide adequate nutrition to sows, can feed more green succulent feed, with the right amount of cake feed, need to feed salt and bone meal every day.

2. After the sow has finished giving birth, the stillborn fetus and placenta must be cleared in time, and do not feed swill with raw bones.

3. Do not allow piglets to chain up randomly, each sow pen has a small sports ground and a feeding room, which can be replenished regularly. When the piglets grow up, they will go to the sports ground to replenish the food. at this time, the piglets have a certain recognition ability, so they won't go into the wrong pigsty.

4. Cut the teeth of newborn piglets in time to prevent competition for milk and find mothers for extra piglets.

5. Let the sow drink enough water before and after production, and add salt and bran to the water to encourage it to drink more.

6. The sows who have just finished feeding bite the piglets because of breast-feeding. 0.5 kilograms of liquor is infiltrated into the concentrate to feed the sows, and the sows are drunk so that the piglets will not bite the piglets after a few times of milk.

7. For sows that often eat piglets, bind their limbs. As long as they can't stand up, they won't eat piglets.
