First, the reason why sows bite piglets

The main results are as follows: 1. First-born sows have no breast-feeding experience. After delivery, they are afraid of sucking piglets or can't stand piglets' entanglement, and bite piglets for refusal.

2. If the sow parturition is transferred to a new environment, the emotional tension will not adapt to this behavior.

3. When the sow has enough milk, the milk will rise every hour, naturally lying down and breast-feeding will make it feel comfortable. If the sow has no milk, the piglet will entangle the sow to nipple, which will cause the sow to be irritable and bite it.

4. Due to the postpartum infection of sows and the increase of body temperature, the decrease of milk is caused by the increase of body temperature, which will lead to a sense of aversion to sucking piglets.

5. Sow nipples are injured or suffer from mastitis. Piglets will bite piglets when they eat milk. Piglets compete for nipples or individual piglets have incorrect, pointed or long dog teeth that bite sow nipples and resent sows. Bite piglets in order to refuse breastfeeding.

6. It is also possible for sows to bite piglets by eating the placenta after giving birth.

Second, how to prevent sows from biting piglets

2. For parturient sows, it is best to massage their breasts frequently at the end of pregnancy, so that the sows will not be excited when the piglets come into contact with nipples, so that they can be breast-fed smoothly after delivery. If the piglets are not allowed to breast-feed, if necessary, take compulsory measures to tie up the sows and get used to it several times.

3. Sows that are not adaptable to the new environment should arrive at the new piggery a few days in advance so that they can have an adaptation process and get better when they are in a stable mood.

4. in addition to pacification, drugs can also be used. Chlorpromazine hydrochloride is injected into the neck muscle to calm the sow, the dosage is 2-3 mg per kilogram of body weight.

5. Sows with malnutrition and less milk should strengthen their nutrition and begin to increase their feeding capacity three days after delivery.

6, if it is postpartum infection, to timely anti-inflammatory, intravenous injection of anti-inflammatory medicine, while adding 0.5% Odman An in the feed, improve the level of lysozyme in sows, improve the disease resistance of the body, and reduce the occurrence of postpartum inflammation.

7. If you find that sows have nipple injuries or mastitis, they should be treated in time: penicillin, streptomycin and houttuynia cordata can be injected in the middle of the nipples; if there is a tooth problem in the pig, the sharp canine teeth will be flattened with scissors.

8. Quickly clean the placenta out of the pigsty after delivery.
