The delivery of the sow is completed only when all the placenta is produced. Sometimes if it is not cleaned up in time, the sow may eat the placenta. What happens when a sow eats the placenta?

What happens to the sow after eating the placenta

Sows will eat the placenta for a short time, and it is possible to eat piglets, so the sow placenta should be cleared out of the pigsty in time after delivery.

Second, sow production time

After the sow gives birth to the first piglet, the other piglets will be born quickly, one every 5-25 minutes, 2-4 hours, and half an hour later, the placenta is excreted. There are also individual sows, piglets and the placenta are produced alternately, and only when the placenta is completely excreted can it mark the end of the littering process.

After the placenta is discharged, it should be cleared out of the pigsty in time to avoid being eaten by sows, otherwise it may cause piglets to be eaten, and then used to scrub the vaginas and breasts of sows with Suer or potassium permanganate solution to avoid vaginitis, mastitis and uterine inflammation, while cleaning the delivery room, eliminating pollution mat grass, mat dry soil, and replace fresh bedding grass.

Third, how to judge the complete excretion of placenta

The placenta of most piglets has two openings to connect to the front and back piglets, but the last piglet has only one opening at one end to connect with the front piglet placenta.

Sows give birth in order, those close to the birth canal give birth first, and those far away from the birth canal give birth later, according to the order in which the fetus is distributed in the womb, and then give birth on one side and then on the other. If the sow gives birth to a piglet placenta with only one opening, it means that the fetus on one side of the uterus has been fully born, and if it gives birth to two placentas with only one opening, it means that the sow has given birth.

We can also check whether the number of umbilical cords on the placenta is the same as that of piglets, but there are some special circumstances that may not match the number.

Placenta for sows can promote milk, after production can not be eaten directly by sows, but can be mixed in the feed to feed.
