Sow postpartum paralysis, serious lack of calcium how to do? Look at here!

Sows are very weak after delivery and are prone to lack of calcium. What is the reason for this?

Sows in more than 100 days of pregnancy, the largest proportion of nutrients delivered to piglets are calcium and phosphorus, in addition, milk also contains a lot of calcium.

Piglets need more calcium as they grow, which needs to be obtained from sow milk. However, when the calcium in the milk does not meet the needs of the piglets, the sows will release the calcium from the body bones and supplement it to the milk.

What symptoms does sow calcium deficiency have?

However, the problem is that when sows release their own calcium to a certain proportion, when it exceeds the minimum calcium requirement for sows, there will be serious problems with their own health.

Main performance:

Food intake drops suddenly, legs are weak and unstable, lazy and inactive, and physiological functions are out of order.

At this time, the problem is very serious, not only sows, but also piglets will be affected by sows' illness, resulting in weight loss, diarrhea, unhealthy development, and even dead pigs.

How to avoid calcium deficiency in sows?

(1) treatment of calcium deficiency in sows.

When the above situation occurs in sows, calcium gluconate is injected into the deep muscle with 20-30 milliliters at a time, once every other day (key point: must be injected into the deep muscle). Three injections can almost improve the symptoms caused by calcium deficiency in sows.

(2) to prevent calcium deficiency in sows:

Sows should eat calcium and phosphorus in the early stage. Here are three kinds of dietary supplements:
