Matters needing attention in raising sows

Raising pigs is very common in our country. In daily life, pork is the most common meat product on our dinner table. Especially during the holidays, the demand will be even greater. Therefore, the area of raising pigs is still very large. When raising pigs, we should first pay attention to raising good sows. When raising sows, there are many things we need to pay attention to. So the editor brings you some notes on raising a good sow today, let's take a look at it!

1. Pay attention to reproductive stress

During pregnancy, sows may produce reproductive stress, which can easily lead to anemia and subsidence in sows, which is very disadvantageous to the development of embryos. Therefore, we should pay attention to the supplement of iron, calcium and other elements in sows. And with the increase of gestational age of sows, this phenomenon will become more and more serious, and tissue edema will occur in severe cases. Especially in the later stage of pregnancy, the growth rate of fetal pigs is accelerated, which is easy to oppress the intestines, resulting in a decline in intestinal peristalsis. Causes the intestinal tract water to be absorbed massively, causes the faeces to harden. Therefore, in the late stage of pregnancy, we should pay attention to eat less and eat more.

2. Sow constipation

Constipation is also a common problem in sows. If sows are constipated, it may lead to tissue water and even mastitis in sows, so we must pay more attention to it. When feeding, do not feed inferior crude fiber feed, otherwise it will affect gastrointestinal peristalsis, lead to food stay too long, reduce sow appetite and absorption capacity, anemia, constipation and other adverse phenomena. In the early days, constipation is easy to cause toxin absorption, affecting the development of embryos and, in severe cases, death. Later constipation can lead to loss of appetite, malnutrition, dystocia and even postpartum milk loss in sows.

3. Pay attention to feeding and management

We also need to pay more attention to the feeding and management of sows. When raising reserve sows, many people will choose the feed of fattening pigs. Only pay attention to the growth rate of sows, but ignore the development of reproductive organs, resulting in reproductive organ dysplasia. Then we should also pay attention to do a good job in checking the situation of sows to avoid missing the best mating period, and also focus on short-term superior feeding. For the first and second births, we should not only meet the needs of reproductive organ development, but also pay attention to their growth nutrition, especially the supplement of amino acids and energy.

4. Pay attention to uterine irrigation

When raising sows, postpartum health care of sows is very important. Especially when there is endometritis in sows, but many pig farms are usually treated by uterine perfusion, irrigation or plug. In fact, if we deal with it in this way, it will be more and more troublesome. Because if you rinse the uterus, it is impossible to remove all the foreign bodies from the sow's womb. If this method is not used properly, it is also easy to cause damage to the endometrium. And it is also easy to remain drugs, thus affecting the position of embryo implantation.

The above is a brief introduction to the matters needing attention in raising sows. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help you all.
