Newborn piglets, pigs that grow up to about 30 kilograms, are called piglets. So how to cut the teeth and cut off the tail and navel of piglets at birth?

1. Pigs are naturally fond of fighting food, and newborn piglets have two pairs of fine canine teeth. In order to prevent piglets from biting each other when grabbing milk and fighting and biting sows' breasts while eating, thereby reducing lactation, sows will also refuse to breast-feed because of pain, seriously affecting the growth and development of piglets, and because of pain sows will often get up and lie down, trampling and crushing piglets; so they need to cut the teeth of piglets. However, problems such as inadequate operation, bleeding and infection often occur in the process of tooth shearing. The teeth of piglets should be cut within 24 hours after birth, and the teeth harden after 24 hours. If the teeth are easily shredded at this time, the medulla of piglets will bleed and infection. And only need to cut off the teeth of 1 big 2, leaving part of the teeth, can improve the success rate of piglet feeding slot, it is best to use a tooth grinder, after grinding teeth, need to carry out tooth disinfection, and check whether the teeth are smooth.

two。 Piglets' tails need to consume feed in the process of growth, and pigs need to shake their tails as long as they are idle, and they also need to consume energy, which is a serious waste of feed over time; when the tail is swinging, it is easy to bite the tail, and when it comes out of the fence, the tail will also affect the selling phase of the fat pig, so cut off the tail of the piglet. But in clinical production, tail bleeding infection is also very common, after tail amputation must be examined to prevent tail bleeding but not found in time, affecting the growth rate and disease resistance of piglets.

3. When piglets are born, they are strongly squeezed by the birth canal of sows, resulting in hypoxia, decreased vitality, and asphyxiation in severe cases. Be sure to pay attention to the first contact with the delivery room: when the piglets are born, pull hard outside, and then immediately break the umbilical cord, this practice is not recommended. After giving birth, piglets should stay for two minutes before cutting their navel, which can effectively alleviate the hypoxia state of piglets, improve the vitality and physique of piglets, which is beneficial to the growth and development of piglets in the later stage; if in the process of delivery, umbilical cord bleeding occurs without good protection of the umbilical cord of piglets, which leads to the decrease of vitality of piglets caused by anemia. After careful observation for many times, it is found that the skin of piglets with umbilical cord blood loss is obviously pale and grows slowly than other piglets; the umbilical cord of disinfected piglets must be ligated and dried before they can be put into the incubator; in addition, the umbilical cord is generally left about 3-4 cm when the umbilical cord is broken, and it is easy to be trampled and pressed, causing bleeding, and it is not easy to stay too short, too short and not easy to ligate. when the piglets stand, the umbilical cord will not touch the ground. Umbilical cord blood contains a large number of hematopoietic stem cells, which is very critical to the physique, immunity and growth rate of piglets in the later stage. Attention must be paid to the treatment of umbilical cord in the process of production to prevent the loss of umbilical cord blood.
