Matters needing attention in feeding piglets after weaning

Raising piglets is a very important part in the process of raising pigs. After piglets are born, they all have to eat breast milk first. However, because the lactation of sows is limited, we should do a good job of feeding piglets. However, when piglets eat feed, do not change suddenly, piglets should have a period of adaptation, otherwise there will be stress reaction. So how should piglets be fed after weaning? The following editor will give you a brief introduction, let's have a look!

1. Recuperation before eating

When piglets eat open food, the effect of piglets has a great relationship with sows. If sows produce enough milk and piglets have more milk, then piglets are generally reluctant to eat open food. Therefore, we have to raise piglets and sows separately before eating, so as to promote sows to adapt to open food. It is best to be able to feed mainly with soybean powder, which can effectively reduce the allergies of piglets after eating open food. Similarly, if the diet is insufficient, the piglets are likely to have an immune response.

2. Material selection conditions

The choice of starting food for piglets is also very important. when we choose open food, we should choose it according to the eating habits of piglets and the digestion of feed. Ensure that piglets eat normally and make it easy for sows to digest. At the same time, we should also consider the nature of the food, whether it is flake, granule or powder, all should be in the form of suitable eating and digestion for piglets to ensure the normal eating and growth of piglets.

3. Placement of feed trough

Not only the feeding should be suitable for piglets, but also the feeding trough should be close to the feeding condition of piglets. The location of the feed trough is also important, in a place where piglets are not prone to crowded collisions. When feeding piglets, we should follow the principle of feeding more and less. Every time, we should remove the residual feed in time, keep the feed trough clean, keep the food fresh, and disinfect the feed trough regularly to avoid breeding germs.

4. Eating method

Generally speaking, from about a month on, the number of times of feeding should be gradually increased, which can be fed about 5 times a day. Based on the principle of timing and quantification, piglets should form a good eating habit, which can not only enhance the digestive ability of piglets, but also keep piglets competing for food. And can also meet the habit of piglets like to eat fresh feed, each time piglets in the fight for food, can eat more, but also can effectively reduce feed waste.

5. Improve nutrition

When weaning, it is necessary to minimize the nutritional stress response of food intake to piglets. This can also reduce the adverse effects caused by the transfer of breast milk to feed. Therefore, after weaning, we should appropriately increase the dietary fat of piglets, reduce protein and other nutrients, and improve the digestive adaptability of the small intestine. Then, after about two days, to properly increase the feed intake of piglets, some bean dregs, fish and shrimp can be added to the feed to improve the growth rate and physique of piglets.
