Causes and Countermeasures of slow growth of piglets with various problems in piglet Management

Farmers raise pigs, especially piglets, there are many problems, resulting in slow growth of piglets, and even become stiff pigs. The following editor will analyze the reasons and countermeasures for the slow growth of piglets.

Piglets

First, weaning is unreasonable. Farmers often adopt the method of weaning once, and immediately after weaning, it suddenly changes the piglets' mother-centered, sibling cohabitation, stable and comfortable living conditions, which makes it difficult for piglets to adapt and affect weight gain. The number of breastfeeding of piglets should be gradually reduced 5-6 days before weaning until completely weaned. This method is beneficial to the growth of piglets.

Second, the replenishment is not timely. Failed to feed the piglets in the lactation stage in time, after weaning, the piglets could not eat well, and there was no milk supplement, which caused slow growth and stopped development. Generally, piglets begin to feed at 7 days after birth, so that when the milk yield of sows decreases, they can be formally fed to make up for the lack of milk production of sows. At first, it was mainly fragrant, sweet, crisp and digestible, and then gradually changed to normal feed.

Third, the feed and feeding method are unreasonable. After weaning, piglets were not only unable to eat breast milk, but also poor feed quality, with more water in the feed and less feed, and the daily feeding times decreased sharply from 6 to 8 times before weaning. These drastic changes hindered the normal development of piglets. Therefore, when buying pigs, we should ask the seller in detail about the feeding and management of piglets, so as to ensure the gradual transition of feed quality and quantity, the gradual transition of fine green roughage and the gradual transition of feeding times from more to less.

Fourth, the environmental conditions have changed too much. Before weaning, piglets take the mother as the center, and their siblings live together. After weaning, generally one circle per pig, piglets can not adapt in a short time, especially in winter, coupled with cold, can not eat well and sleep well, it is easy to produce a variety of diseases and even death. Therefore, when buying pigs, we should ask as many questions as possible and create a comfortable living environment for piglets as far as possible. Changes should be carried out gradually.

Fifth, extensive management. At present, farmers generally raise pigs in a circle, and their life is monotonous. Some pigs eat, sleep and defecate in the same place, coupled with the lack of diligent cleaning and washers, resulting in environmental pollution and poor sanitary conditions, especially in winter, which is easy to cause diseases such as pig colds and dysentery. Seriously affect the health of pigs, not conducive to growth and development. In the actual raising of pigs, according to the speed of eating and temperament of pigs, 3-6 pigs can be used as a circle, so that pigs compete for food, grow fast, and do a good job of training, so that they can eat, defecate and sleep at a fixed point to make the environment clean and hygienic.

Sixth, it is not the right time for epidemic prevention and castration. Farmers often buy pigs and carry out epidemic prevention and castration at the same time. In this way, the three unfavorable factors of weaning, epidemic prevention and castration are added to the piglets, so that the weight of the piglets can not be restored for a long time, seriously affecting the normal growth and development of pigs, making the growth of pigs slow, and further forming stiff pigs. It is recommended that there is no breeding for piglets. The boars are 20 days old and the sows are castrated at the age of 30-40 days. In order to prevent some infectious diseases, classical swine fever vaccine can be injected before 30 days old, and Danish vaccine can be carried out at 3 months old.
