CATDOLL : Sows suddenly stop producing milk, detailed explanation of the countermeasures

introduction

For farmers, the milk production of sows is directly related to the health and growth of the pig herd. However, sometimes sows suddenly stop producing milk, which not only affects the growth of piglets, but also causes certain losses to farmers. So, when we encounter the situation that sows stop producing milk, how should we deal with it? Next, we will introduce the countermeasures in detail.

Possible causes

There may be a number of reasons why a sow may suddenly stop producing milk, including:

• Malnutrition: The sow’s feed lacks necessary nutrients, resulting in reduced milk production.
• Disease infection: When sows suffer from diseases such as mastitis, it will affect milk production.
• Physiological factors: For example, prolonged or abnormal postpartum pharyngeal period can lead to poor milk production in sows.
• Environmental factors: A poor breeding environment, such as temperatures that are too high or too low, can also affect the sow's milk production.

Countermeasures

In the case of sows stopping milk production, we can take the following measures:

• Improve feed: ensure the diversity and nutritional balance of sow feed, and increase the intake of protein and vitamins.
• Regular check-ups: Regular physical examinations of sows are performed to prevent and promptly treat diseases and ensure the health of sows.
• Maintain a clean environment: Keep the breeding environment clean and sanitary, and maintain a comfortable temperature and humidity.
• Adjust feeding management: provide a reasonable diet, pay attention to the sow's rest and drinking water, and ensure that the sow is in good physical condition.

Conclusion

The sudden cessation of milk production in sows is a common problem in farming, but as long as we pay attention to reasonable feeding and management, discover problems in time and take measures, we can effectively deal with this situation and ensure the healthy growth of the pig herd.
