Issues to pay attention to when feeding sows

Sow feeding and management is a very important part of the breeding industry. Reasonable feeding can improve production efficiency and ensure the health of sows. The following are some scientific methods and precautions for feeding sows:

1. Selection of feed formula

Reasonable feed formula plays a vital role in the production performance of sows. Generally speaking, sows need different nutrients before farrowing and during lactation, and the formula should be adjusted according to the needs of different stages. In addition, the crude fiber content in the feed should also be appropriately increased to help sows digest and excrete feces.

2. Feed regularly

Sows should be fed at a fixed time, usually divided into 2-3 times a day. Regular feeding can cultivate the feeding habits of sows and is conducive to the digestion and absorption of feed. In addition, the amount of feed each time should be reasonably controlled according to the weight and stage of the sow.

3. Warm water supply

Drinking water plays an important role in the physiological function and metabolism of sows. During the feeding process, it should be ensured that the sows have sufficient clean warm water supply at all times. Especially during the lactation period, the sows have a greater demand for water, so attention should be paid to increasing the water supply.

4. Provide adequate exercise

Sows need a moderate amount of exercise to maintain good cardiopulmonary function and normal functioning of the digestive system. In the farm, sows should be given enough space to move around and encouraged to move freely. At the same time, regular exercise training can help improve the appetite and digestive function of sows.

5. Regular weight monitoring

Regular weight monitoring can timely understand the physical condition and feeding effect of sows. In pig farms, a sound weight monitoring system should be established, and feeding management measures should be adjusted according to the monitoring results to ensure the breeding efficiency and health of sows.

Summarize

Scientific feeding is the key to improving the efficiency of sow farming. Through reasonable feed formula, regular feeding, warm water supply, appropriate exercise and regular weight monitoring, the health of sows and the improvement of production performance can be ensured.
