Feeding and management techniques of newborn piglets

Newborn piglets are prone to piglet pneumonia due to hypoplasia of thermoregulatory center and severe cold stress. At the same time, it is easy to be crushed by sows, so the following work must be done.

First, pay attention to the temperature of the pig house and do a good job of heat preservation. For conditional pig farms, constant temperature control system can be used. Generally, you can set up a litter box in the sow house, with straw or cotton at the bottom of the box, and hang an infrared light on the front.

Second, let piglets eat colostrum in time. Colostrum contains a variety of immunoglobulins, so after the piglets give birth, regardless of whether the sows are delivered or not, the piglets are caught and fed to the sows.

Third, supplement salt and selenium. Piglets were given 0.1% potassium permanganate solution to clean their intestines 2-3 days after birth, and then fed with electrolytic multidimensional and oral glucose dissolved in water for 2-3 days. Iron supplementation for 5-6 days, injecting iron-cobalt injection 2-3ml per piglet, or dripping aqueous solution of ferrous sulfate, zinc sulfate and copper sulfate onto the nipple of sows during sucking had good results. Sodium selenite ve2ml was injected in 7-8 days.

Fourth, prevent yellow and white dysentery of piglets. Sows were inoculated with K88 and K99 piglets genetic engineering vaccine about 20 days before parturition. About 15 days before delivery, 1 kg of oxytetracycline was added to each ton of sow feed.

Fifth, piglets with yellow and white dysentery, add mother and young diarrhea Kang to the mother diet, or dissolve norfloxacin powder and amoxicillin powder to make piglets drink water, and seriously inject Changkang, oxytetracycline, gentamicin and other drugs.

Sixth, start eating ahead of time. About 7 days to start training piglets to eat, can use artificial milk education trough material, each litter 20 kg-30 kg, wait for piglets to enter the peak eating period, switch to piglet care feed. He Jinfeng
