With the addition of a drainage tube, it becomes so easy for piglets to be milked and medicated.

>> Common phenomena in pig farms:

It is a common thing to milk weak babies in pig farms. I believe there will often be a problem when we milk weak babies. In the process of milking, weak babies often do not swallow. In view of this situation, today I will share with you a small trick for feeding weak babies.

>> Preparation and operation methods:

> Preparations:

1. A 6 cm section of IV tubing;

2. One disposable syringe (or one semen infusion bottle);

3.1 1000 ~2000ml thermos cup.

> Operation method:

1. Disinfect the syringe and infusion tube for later use;

2. Install the infusion tube prepared in advance on the disposable syringe;

3. Put the collected milk in a thermos cup for later use;

4. Grab the piglet with one hand and slowly insert the syringe into the throat with the other hand.

>> Operation precautions:

1. High temperature disinfection of milk filling tools;

2. mark weak piglets needing to be fed or adjust the whole litter together for convenient nursing;

3. Collect milk from sows with sufficient milk in advance, and it is best to collect it for immediate use (take heat preservation measures or pack it in a thermos cup); if it is not used up once, it needs to be refrigerated, but it needs to be warmed to 39℃ before next use.

4. The oral mucosa of weak piglets is thin and tender, and the milk temperature is too hot, which is easy to cause damage to the mucosa and affect the appetite of piglets; the milk temperature is too low, which will affect the peristaltic function of piglets intestinal tract, resulting in indigestion and diarrhea. So be sure to test the temperature before feeding.

5. When filling with syringe, the hose runs along the upper jaw of the piglet through the throat and into the esophagus. Intubation must be slow to prevent injury to the piglet.

6. Piglets must be kept warm in an incubator for half an hour after feeding (because the physical flexibility of weak piglets is not as good as that of healthy piglets, so as to prevent crushing, after half an hour, weak piglets will increase their physical strength after feeding, and a temperature in the incubator will make piglets not consume physical strength too quickly)

7. After using the tools, we must remember to clean and disinfect them at high temperature, and then store them in a drying oven to prevent bacteria from breeding and eliminate pollution.

8. It is recommended to drink 4-5 times a day, 40-60 ml each time according to the situation of piglets.

>> Value added:

This milk filling method should be able to be implemented relative to each pig farm. The tools are relatively simple and practical. To achieve weak +1, can be more efficient to complete, thus speeding up work efficiency, but we must pay attention to the details of the work, success or failure in the details.

(This method is recommended for 1-3 days of weak piglets. After 3 days, when the weak piglets can breastfeed themselves, you can choose a round basin to put milk in it, so as to strengthen the lactation amount of the weak piglets and play an auxiliary role. At the same time, you must transfer the weak piglets to avoid the weak piglets from competing with other healthy piglets.)

Of course, this method could also be used in other situations, such as drug infusion, maintenance…
