What problems are easy to be ignored in sow management?

Sows need to be well managed after giving birth, which is a very important process. If it is not managed well, then the problem will be bigger. There are many problems in this stage of management that are easy to be ignored. We should pay attention to the following situations.

1. Sow disinfection

The sows themselves are not very clean, and they will live with the piglets directly after birth. if they are not sterilized, some of the germs they carry may be transmitted to the piglets, increasing the risk of disease. The sow needs to be disinfected before giving birth and then moved to the waiting area. After production, it is best to simply clean the sow and then wipe the body with disinfectant, so that a simple disinfection process can be formed to ensure the safety of piglets. The incidence of piglets carried by sows who have not experienced this is significantly higher, so we should not ignore it.

2. Insufficient milk

Sows generally give birth to a lot of piglets, so the problem of milk is actually quite common, but farmers often ignore the problem of insufficient milk because they see that piglets are feeding. It is one thing for piglets to be fed, and another for whether they are adequate. Piglets with insufficient milk grow very slowly. Pay attention to some obviously slow-growing piglets, check the milk condition of their sows and replenish them according to the situation. There are also some piglets who are breast-feeding all the time should also pay attention to, this may be that the sow milk supply is insufficient.

3. Temperature fluctuation

Sows and piglets have different demand for temperature. Sows do not like high temperature very much, which will affect their normal diet and recovery, while piglets prefer high temperature because of their lack of ability to keep out the cold. So at this stage, we should control the temperature and choose a relatively suitable point for both. Frequent changes in indoor temperature should be paid attention to, which is extremely taboo for sows after giving birth, which has a great impact on sows and piglets, which will lead to the weakness of sows and the death of piglets.

4. Lack of nursing knowledge

Sows have a lot of nursing knowledge, and many places also have an impact on the future, so it is better for everyone to master more. Many people do not know anything about the various reactions of sows during this period, and then keep making taboos. When something goes wrong, they do not know some basic preventive measures, and when the loss comes, they regret it. When there is time, farmers still need to know more about these aspects of information, to see what to do can raise sows better, the future income can also be higher.

The above are some easy to ignore problems in sow management, breeding is not an easy thing, especially sows need to be raised carefully, so take more care to protect their own interests.
