Matters needing attention in breeding new sows

The average life span of a sow is about 6 years, but it will be eliminated after giving birth to about 5 births, and large-scale farming will be eliminated after about 3 births. Therefore, there must be an increase in the number of new sows every year to maintain the economic interests of the pig farm, whether it is self-retention or outsourcing, the new sow is the most concerned issue for all pig farmers. Generally speaking, new sows are bred from January to February, and there are different ways to raise them, so the editor will tell you about the points for attention in breeding new sows today.

1. Feed

New sows are generally called reserve sows. The feed of reserve sows is different from that of other pigs. Many people will choose to buy reserve sows outside, which may be lighter. In order to promote fattening, they will be fed with some common fertilizers. But this is not true, because reserve sows need much more nutrients, proteins and other nutrients than ordinary pigs. Adequate nutrients are of great help to the later secretion of estrogen in reserve sows, which indirectly determines the productivity of sows when they grow up. Therefore, the feed of reserve sows should be fed separately from that of pigs.

2. Feeding

In the process of feeding, reserve sows should not only be different from the feed of meat pigs, but also be raised separately from meat pigs. First of all, because of the difference in feed, it is not only necessary to prevent reserve sows from eating meat feed, but also to prevent meat pigs from grazing with reserve sows. And mixed breeding can not effectively manage reserve sows, separate breeding is more conducive to regular inspections in the future, check the health of sows, record the growth of sows, so if raised together, not only can not manage reserve sows normally, but also reduce the quality of sows.

3. Domestication

In feeding, it is necessary to ensure that the character of the sow is suitable for pregnancy and production, and the character of the backup sow must be docile and cooperate with the management, otherwise it will be difficult to control in the later stage of mating and delivery. Therefore, in order to domesticate and train the character of the sow from an early age, you can train the sow as a pet dog and carry out some password training. Let the backup sows learn to follow instructions from an early age, make some corresponding simple movements, and can often touch the sows every day, so that the sows have a sense of intimacy.

4. Environment

After the reserve sows are raised until they can give birth to pregnancy, many people will find that the sows show no signs of estrus, in fact, most of the reasons are caused by the environment. After the formal maturity, except that the boar is not the object of oestrus for sows, it is because of environmental reasons. The pig house environment is messy, the air is muddy, and the poor permeability will not only make the pig house breed bacteria and parasites, but also lead to sow dysplasia, non-estrus and other problems, so it is very important to keep the environment clean, clean, ventilated and ventilated.

The above is all about the matters needing attention in the cultivation of reserve sows. If we want to improve the birth rate and survival rate of reserve sows, we must pay attention to the above four points. In order to control the living conditions of sows, suitable breeding, correct delivery and so on, there are still many things to pay attention to, so we must learn the correct management methods to raise.
