Main points of feeding pregnant sows

The feeding and management of sows during pregnancy is very important. in order to reasonably prepare daily quantity according to the nutritional and physiological characteristics of sows during pregnancy and combined with the actual situation, the management can be strengthened from the following aspects.

First, sow diet must have a certain volume, there must be a certain amount of green roughage, so that sows eat and feel full, do not oppress the fetus, more importantly, green roughage is conducive to the development of embryos. But after 3 months of pregnancy, it is appropriate to limit the supply of green roughage, otherwise oppressing the fetus is easy to cause miscarriage.

Second, pregnant sows with good fat condition should be restricted in feeding and feed intake should be limited as far as possible in order to control body weight and save feeding cost.

Third, pregnant sows should exercise properly in the middle and later period, which is beneficial to enhance their physique and fetal development, and stop exercising for a week before delivery.

Fourth, do a good job in daily management to prevent miscarriage: take a gentle attitude towards pregnant sows, avoid shock, beating and scolding, and should not be fed moldy, corrupt and deteriorated feed.

Fifth, do a good job of deworming, parasites will lead to loss of appetite and weight loss of pregnant sows, and some sows will "only eat not long" even if their appetite does not drop. Deworming must be carried out about 15 days before giving birth, which can eliminate the effects of chronic consumptive diseases. Hu Jiniu
