What about sows with less milk?

Sows postpartum, generally to feed piglet breast milk, but some sows postpartum no milk, or less milk. This situation must be solved cleanly, otherwise piglets are easy to starve, piglets do not eat breast milk, poor health, easy to get sick. So what should we do, how to promote lactation, let the piglet eat breast milk as soon as possible. It will be described in more detail below.

1. Reason

As the sow is nearly aging, so the physiological function has declined, so there is less milk, and the sow is too young and the mammary gland is not well developed, so there is no milk. Or the milk shortage is caused by unknown reasons. Or sows are too obese and fat leads to endocrine disorders. Finally, there may be mastitis, naturally can not produce milk.

2. Improvement methods

Using formula medicine to treat Angelica sinensis is 60 grams, Aristolochia manshuriensis 30 grams, fresh willow bark 1 jin, mixed with water 3 jin, and then fried and fed, once a day, after several times can be improved. There are then a variety of herbal formulations, and you can consult your veterinarian for other recipes. There is also the use of vitamin E internal administration, 20 international units of oxytocin mixed with 10% 500 milliliters of glucose intravenous drip. Breast massage can also improve the effect. You can also feed a variety of foods to promote milk, which will not be introduced here.

3. Adjust feeding

Feed more prolactation feed, legumes, and special porridge. You can also use meat soup such as small fish, shrimp and screws to feed. If it is because of obesity, you can feed less and do more sports medicine. If it is high temperature, no appetite, cold water can be drenched in the shoulder strength, so you can improve the situation, eat more, produce more milk.

4. Strengthen the management

Prepare the sow feeding work in advance, configure the feeding formula, and pay attention to the hygiene of the delivery room after delivery. During midwifery, attention should be paid to nursing work, cleaning and disinfection, and midwifery staff should also be disinfected in order to enter. In the future, the feed should be clean and the utensils should be sterilized. Adequate drinking water must be provided.
