Winter piglet care points improve survival rate

Due to the cold weather, care must be taken during the winter to care for the piglets. Care should be taken to improve the survival rate. Timing feeds If there are too many piglets or insufficient sow milk, it is difficult to meet the needs of all piglets as the age of piglets increases, and it is very important for piglets to feed in advance. Do not use pellet feed. Pellet feed can easily cause damage to the gastrointestinal tract of piglets. The soup simulates the sow's milk well, reducing the piglet's stress. We can begin feeding the piglets at 7 days of age, starting with a 1:5 dilution of water, and slightly diluting the pigs with water 1:3. When using, pay attention to maintaining the freshness and hygiene of the material. The piglet is used continuously for a week after weaning and then gradually replaced with a nursery material. Fixed nipple sows are intermittently fed with milk for about 3 to 5 minutes each time, and piglets compete for nipples with sufficient milk and fix their own habits. The first two pairs of nipples in the sow generally have sufficient milk, while the latter pairs have less milk. If the piglets' sucking nipples are not fixed, the piglets will miss the feeding time because they compete for the teats, causing the frail piglets to starve to death because they cannot eat milk. When the sow puts milk, observe the feeding condition of each piglet, and fix the big, strong piglets on the nipples with less milk on the back, and fix the piglets with small initial weight and weakness on the first few pairs of milk. On adequate nipples, medium-sized piglets are fixed in the middle nipples. In addition, strong piglets have strong sucking power and large pumping force, which is conducive to promoting the feeding of the following pairs of teats. Strictly restricting foster foster care is a stress for both sows and piglets, and fostering can easily lead to cross-infection of the disease. Therefore, fostering should be reduced as much as possible, and in particular cross breeding must be strictly prohibited. When the postpartum sow is severely deficient in lactation, there are too many litters, the mother is poor, the sow is frail, sick or sows are dead, consider fostering, foster care within 24 to 48 hours of birth, and ensure that the piglet can eat After sufficient colostrum is performed. Fostering fosters piglets that are physically strong to other sows, and can also concentrate the weakly-prepared sows from a few sows to a sow with better milk quality. Knee protectors and nurses' skins are very delicate and easily scratched. In order to prevent the nipple from forming on the nipples of the piglets, the piglets can be covered with medical tape after birth to cover the navel of the piglet, especially the breeding sow, to the first pair of nipples. At the same time, medical tape is applied to the knees and knees of the piglets to prevent bacterial infections caused by wear and tear of the piglets while kneeling. Piglet health piglets have relatively low resistance. For pig farms with severe bacterial diarrhea, we can feed them with enrofloxacin after they are born. The iron reserves of newborn piglets are very small, and the iron in breastmilk can not fully meet the needs of piglets. Therefore, pigs should be iron-supplyed by cervical muscle injection at the age of 3 days. When using iron, use a 9-gauge needle and slowly inject. Hold the injection site with your finger after the injection to prevent iron backflow. At the same time as supplementing iron, long-acting terramycin is injected into the piglet muscle, which can effectively prevent and invade various bacteria. Treatment of Weak Piglets Piglets weighing less than 800g at birth generally have poorer breastfeeding abilities, weaker viability, and higher mortality rates. They can be called weak litters. For those who have a good mental state and have sucking power, they can improve their survival rate by fixing the nipple and artificially assisting their breastfeeding. Weak infants with poor mental status and inability to suck milk, especially weak ones weighing less than 500 grams, should be considered for elimination. Because these weak larvae are difficult to survive, and their immunity and resistance are poor, these weak larvae are susceptible to disease as a susceptible herd on the farm and become a source of infection and cause greater losses.
