Weaning techniques and matters needing attention of piglets

When a sow gives birth to a piglet, the process of weaning has a great impact on the development of the piglet. As we all know, there is a saying that the weight difference of a piglet during the period can be 10 jin less than that of a piglet, so it is necessary to do a good job of weaning piglets. Weaning techniques and precautions for piglets are as follows:

1. Do not change people

Piglets are very timid when they are weaned and run around in fear at the sight of strangers. It's best to be fed by acquaintances.

2. No castration

Castrating piglets just after weaning is equivalent to "making things worse". The piglets lose their appetite and the wound heals slowly. The piglets will not be castrated until they are fully adapted to the environment. Do not rush to deworming when you are just weaned. It is better to do so after a week of weaning.

3. Do not gather together

When it is cold, weaned piglets lose the warmth of sows and gather together to keep warm, sometimes stacked very high, which is very easy to cause casualties. At this time, it is necessary to do a good job of heat preservation, keep the ground dry, spread more soft bedding grass, and feed a hot food at night, and drive the pig around two or three times at night to prevent pig urination.

4. Don't feed too much

Piglets have a poor appetite in the first few days after weaning, so they should be fed less frequently so as to avoid feed waste and dyspeptic diarrhea.

5. Don't be careless

In the first week after weaning, special attention should be paid to observe the behavioral changes of piglets to see whether they eat, drink, defecate, breathe and sleep normally, and should be treated in time when abnormal findings are found.

Doing a good job of these eight points can make piglets get through the excessive period of weaning and ensure their growth and development speed. Pig farmers should also pay attention to these eight points when piglets are weaned.

6. Do not change circles

When weaning, the sows should be driven out and the piglets should be kept in the same pen.

7. Non-mixed culture

Let piglets in the same litter live together and try not to mix with other piglets to avoid bites.

8. No refueling

The feed of piglets in the first week after weaning is the same as that of lactation, and then gradually changed to weaned piglets after a week, so that piglets have a longer process of adaptation. In the meantime, the type of feed and nutrition level should not be adjusted too much, and the prescription of conservation gold should be added to the feed to improve disease resistance.
