Matters needing attention in weaning piglets

The weaning conversion of piglets is very important, but many farmers ignore a lot of problems in this process, which leads to a lot of problems in the breeding of piglets after weaning. Well, today, the editor mainly tells you what problems you should pay attention to when weaning piglets are transferred to herd. Let's take a look at its points for attention.

1. Reduce stress response

Piglets are very afraid of strangers, and dealing with the disturbance of their owners will also have a great impact on their growth, especially the overreaction will be very serious. So when we are preparing the money for weaning piglets for three days, we can add the right amount of vitamins to the feed and give the piglets a vaccine in advance to deal with the stress response. Vitamins are added about four days before switching in summer, while in winter, appropriate amounts of astragalus extract and Radix Isatidis are added to deal with stress reactions and avoid colds.

2. Piglet management

After weaning, if the piglets are bred in the original nest, they can be transferred directly to the nursery. Then we need to prepare the nursery in advance and make special nursing measures for piglets. The nursery fence needs to be cleaned, disinfected, and ready for water supply and conservation equipment. When the piglets turn to the fence, they need to prepare the insulation lamp in advance and control the temperature in the column at about 25 degrees, so as to avoid discomfort after the piglets turn.

3. Piglets turn into herds

When the piglets turn into groups, we should separate the strong and the weak so as not to hurt the weak. The switching is generally carried out in the morning or in the morning, as far as possible in the evening, so as to reduce the stress reaction. Secondly, when changing the group, we should try our best to avoid scratching the piglets by mistake, do not directly grasp the front feet of the piglets, and at the same time, avoid the piglets slipping and causing damage.

4. Feeding management

After the piglets are transferred, we have to observe the activity of the piglets and feed them after two hours. At this time, the feeding amount is not very large, mainly to observe the feeding situation of the piglets after the conversion, and to record them. In the week after the transition, we all need to carefully observe the daily situation of piglets to facilitate management, while slowly increasing the amount of feed. In addition, if the feeding condition of the piglets is not good, an appropriate amount of artificial milk powder can be added to season to enhance the piglets' appetite.

5. Drinking water management

The drinking water management of weaned piglets is also very important. Because when the piglets are not weaned, the main source of water is milk, but after weaning, they need to rely on their own intake of drinking water. Then we should have a water fountain in the conservation pen, and reasonably control the supply of water, not too much lest the pigsty is too wet to cause disease. Finally, it is best to add an appropriate amount of compound organic acids to the water, which contributes to the intestinal digestion of piglets and avoids stress reactions caused by weaning.

Weaning and herding of piglets is something that must be experienced in the process of growth, so what we can do is to reduce their stress response and reduce their own losses.
