CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Sow lactation tips to help you improve breeding efficiency

Pig farming is an important part of agriculture, and how to improve farming efficiency is one of the focuses of farmers. In pig farming, the milk production of sows is directly related to the profitability of the pig farm. This article will introduce some scientific and effective methods to help you increase the milk production of sows.

1. Ensure the sow’s diet is nutritionally balanced

The nutrition provided by the feed has a direct impact on the milk production of sows. When feeding sows, you should ensure that the energy, protein, minerals and other nutrients in the feed are properly taken in. You can consult a veterinarian or professional breeder to develop a feeding plan suitable for sows.

2. Provide enough drinking water

Sufficient drinking water is very important for the milk production of sows. Sows need a lot of water to maintain their metabolism and milk secretion. At the same time, the water temperature must be appropriate. Overheated or overcooled water may affect the sow's water intake and milk production.

3. Provide a suitable environment and comfortable living conditions

Sows need a quiet, clean and spacious environment to live in. Appropriate temperature, humidity and ventilation conditions have a certain impact on the sow's milk production. In addition, comfortable lying and activity space should be provided to reduce the sow's stress and fatigue, which is conducive to milk production.

4. Give lactation promoter regularly

Lactation promoter is a drug that can stimulate the secretion of mammary glands in sows. Under the guidance of veterinarians, sows can be given appropriate lactation promoters to increase milk production. However, it should be noted that the use of lactation promoters must follow the principle of rational medication and can only be carried out under the guidance of veterinarians.

5. Carry out scientific breeding management

Scientific breeding management also has an important impact on the milk production of sows. Selecting high-quality sows, organizing breeding in a reasonable manner, and managing the pregnancy and lactation period can all improve the milk production of sows. Regularly weaning piglets can also effectively stimulate the milk secretion of sows.

The above are some methods to improve breeding efficiency and increase sow milk production. I hope it will be helpful to pig farming practitioners. Raising sows is a job that requires experience and skills. Different pig farms may have different needs and actual conditions. Therefore, when implementing the above methods, they should also be adjusted and improved according to the specific situation. I wish you all can get good breeding benefits!
