Survival rate of piglets is related to benefit Nursing skills of newborn piglets

Nursing piglets is not only the most important part of raising pigs, but also the most energy-consuming work. Careful care of piglets can reduce the mortality of piglets and improve the efficiency of raising piglets. The following nursing skills of piglets should be mastered.

Piglets

1. Large-scale sow farms should plan relatively concentrated delivery in batches, which is not only convenient for piglets to be foster, but also can be raised by several sows after piglets are grouped. Improve the survival rate of piglets and ensure that the piglets are strong and alive.

two。 When delivering piglets, the navel should not be cut off prematurely so as not to bleed too much. The navel should be severed 10 minutes after the piglet was born.

3. Some newborn sows are grumpy and kill newborn piglets. In this regard, newborn piglets can be put into the protection basket, and after the sows give birth to 7-8 piglets, they can be put together on the belly of the sows. At this time, the midwife can gently rub the sow's breasts to make them adapt to lactation and facilitate delivery. If necessary, 2 ml (50 mg) × 5 doses of chlorpromazine hydrochloride injection were injected into sows.

4. One-week-old piglets were given oxytetracycline solution once a day to prevent diarrhea. The prescription is that 1 gram of oxytetracycline powder is dissolved in 100 milliliters of cold boiled water and each head is given 3 milliliters per day.

5. It is found that piglets with dysentery should be treated as early as possible, and oral administration is better. Use drugs that can maintain a high concentration in the intestinal tract but are rarely absorbed, such as streptomycin, kanamycin, gentamicin and so on.

6. Newborn piglets, with tender skin, will get sunburned if they are exposed to the sun for too long on a sunny day, so they should be driven away.

7. There are younger piglets, trampled by sows or other reasons, the body surface of large blisters, do not immediately puncture and release water. Because blisters will appear in the affected area after releasing water, repeatedly releasing water can make the nutrients of tissue fluid lose and affect the growth of piglets, so it is better to let it go and wait for it to be slowly absorbed by the tissue. Or wait for older to release water, and use calcium preparation intravenous injection, in order to reduce exudate.

8. There should not be too much bedding in the enclosure of newborn piglets. Because the newborn piglets are weak and unstable, too much grass will entangle the piglets and are easily crushed to death by sows.
