What are we going to do if the sow doesn't have a cub on the day?

The failure of sows to give birth to babies may be due to delayed delivery, false pregnancy, fetal death and so on. If the production lags behind, Chloroprostol can be injected within 2 days after the expected delivery date to induce labor; if the false pregnancy, fetal death, can be detected by B-ultrasound.

The causes of overdue sows are as follows:

1. Remember the wrong date

This is often encountered in our production process, often due to rescheduling or unclear recording, miscalculation, etc., resulting in incorrect recording of the expected date. Therefore, before taking measures, we must consider whether the due date is correct or not, so as not to cause great losses.

two。 Production lag

It is normal to give birth within 2-3 days after the expected delivery date, which exceeds the expected delivery date by 3 days, and there are no symptoms of giving birth, so it is necessary to induce labor.

3. False pregnancy

The belly of sows is also getting bigger every day, even when the due date is approaching, there will be milk, but there is no sow production. This is also common in actual production.

4. Fetal death

Fetal death and production lag caused by high temperature, fighting and other strong stimulation or infected with porcine parvovirus disease, pseudorabies, Japanese encephalitis, blue ear and so on.

It is common for sows to give birth three days after the due date, but we should take timely measures according to different reasons. If the situation is unclear or uncertain, we still need to find a professional veterinarian.
