Understanding the needs of piglets

To properly feed newborn piglets, you first need to understand the basic needs of piglets. Newborn piglets require a lot of nutrients and calories to maintain normal body functions and growth and development.

Providing high-quality breast milk

Sow milk is the most ideal food for piglets, containing rich nutrients and antibodies, which can help piglets build their immune system. Make sure that piglets suckle breast milk in time after birth to meet their needs.

Establish a good feeding plan

It is very important to develop a reasonable feeding plan. According to the age and weight of the piglets, determine the number and amount of feeding per day to ensure that they get enough nutrition.

Bottle feeding

If the piglets cannot get enough breast milk, you can consider feeding them with bottles. Choose special piglet milk powder, prepare and feed it correctly according to the product instructions to ensure the normal growth of the piglets.

Keep clean

The cleanliness of the feeding environment and feeding tools is very important. Regularly cleaning the feeding bottles and nipples and keeping the area around the piglets clean can reduce the risk of the piglets contracting diseases.

Regular weight checks

Checking your piglets' weight regularly can help you assess the effectiveness of your feeding plan. If you find that weight gain is not as good as you think it should be, you may need to adjust the amount or method of feeding.

Clinician consultation

If you are confused or have problems with feeding your piglets, do not hesitate to seek help from a veterinarian. The veterinarian can provide professional advice and treatment based on the specific situation of the piglets.
