Postpartum nursing methods of sows

The pork consumption of our country is relatively high in the world, and the area of raising pigs in our country is also very large. Management is very important when raising pigs, especially after sow production. If the sow is poorly managed after delivery, it will lead to insufficient milk production, weak physique and death in severe cases. So how should sows be nursed after delivery? Let's take a look at it.

1. Placenta examination

The first thing we have to do after the sow is to check the placenta of the sow. The main purpose of this study is to observe whether the number of placentas is the same as the number of births. If the placenta is not enough or the placenta is insufficient, then drugs such as diethylstilbestrol should be injected properly. Dilate the uterus of the sow, and then inject an appropriate amount of oxytocin every half an hour to promote the excretion of the placenta. After about 3 injections, the placenta can be completely excreted. Then after the placenta is excreted, attention should be paid to injecting penicillin into the birth canal of sows to disinfect and contract the uterus so as to prevent infection and disease.

2. Timely anti-inflammation

Sows born for the first time will have dystocia due to too many pigs. Therefore, the uterus of sows is very vulnerable to injury, so we must pay attention to do a good job of anti-inflammation, about once a week for a course of treatment. Penicillin is the main drug, which is injected about twice a day, and then warm potassium permanganate and other agents are injected into the birth canal of sows until the vitality of sows is restored. If sows still have pus after about 7 days of anti-inflammation, then increase the dose and use drugs such as streptomycin and dexamethasone phosphate. Can also be mixed in the feed of Chinese herbal medicine for feeding, the effect is also better.

3. Strengthen feeding

Sows in the production of physical exertion is very serious, sows physical strength decline rapidly, the emergence of thirst and other summer new. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare sufficient warm salt water to provide drinking water for sows. In sows within 8 hours after production, can not be fed feed, can be fed with warm water. Then properly feed some liquid food the next morning, because the sows are relatively weak after giving birth, the feed is generally more difficult to consume, and the feeding amount should be increased appropriately according to the physical recovery of the sows. Then to observe the lactation of sows, if lactation is insufficient, then it is necessary to do a good job of feeding young pigs to prevent them from starving to death.

4. Daily management

After giving birth, the sows should pay attention to the sanitary cleaning of the pig house and carry out a comprehensive and thorough disinfection of the pig house. To ensure that postpartum sows have a good growth environment. And often observe the growth of sows and young pigs, the incidence of sows in postpartum is relatively high. If any of the sows have abnormal conditions, such as lethargy, loss of appetite and so on. It is necessary to find out the specific reasons in time, and then take corresponding measures. About 3 days after the sow birth, let the sow exercise properly and accept the sun to promote the physical recovery of the sow and increase the milk yield.
