Piglet care skills

Piglet care is the most important part of pig production. Nursing piglets are also the most costly task for the breeder. Careful care of piglets is a guarantee for reducing the mortality rate of piglets and improving the efficiency of pig production. The following nursing skills should be mastered.

1. Sow farms with a certain amount of rearing should be planned and relatively concentrated in the sow farm to give birth. Adopting a relatively concentrated group of farrowings in batches not only facilitates the fostering of piglets, but also enables several sows to be raised after the piglets are grouped. This is of great benefit in improving the survival rate of piglets and ensuring that the piglets are fully active.

2. The broken umbilical of the piglets that are born will not be too early to avoid bleeding. The broken umbilicus should be performed 10 minutes after the birth of the piglet.

3. Some early-born sows have a violent temperament and give birth to the newly born piglets.

In this regard, the newly born piglet can be placed in a nursery basket, and after the sow has produced 7-8 piglets, it is placed on the ventral side of the sow. At this point, the confinement worker can gently swaddle the sow's breasts to adapt to breastfeeding and facilitate delivery. If necessary, 5 ml 2 ml (50 mg) of chlorpromazine hydrochloride injection may be given intramuscularly to the sow.

4. Give terracottin solution once daily to piglets within 1 week of age, which is good for preventing diarrhea. The prescription is 1 gram of terramycin powder dissolved in 100 ml cold boiling water, and 3 ml drops per day per head.

5. It was found that piglets should be treated early and the route of administration should be oral. Drugs such as streptomycin, kanamycin, gentamycin, etc. that can be maintained in the intestine at high concentrations and rarely absorbed should be used.

6. Fresh piglets have soft skin. If they are exposed to sunlight for too long, they will cause sunburn and should be driven away.

7. Some young piglets with small age are caused by sow pressure or other reasons. There is a large blisters on the surface. Do not immediately puncture the water. Because after the release of water, the affected area will continue to appear blisters, and multiple releases of water can cause the loss of nutrients in the tissue fluid, which will affect the growth of the piglets. It is better to let it be allowed to absorb slowly. Or to discharge water when the age is large, and try the calcium preparation intravenously to reduce the exudate.

8. In the litters of newborn piglets, weeds should not be too much. Because the newborn piglet is weak and unsteady in walking, too much grass will entangled the piglet and it will be easily crushed by the sow.
