CATDOLL : Sow farms: Scientific methods to avoid sows being crushed to death

introduction

In the process of sow breeding, sows crushing piglets is a common and serious problem. In order to avoid this situation, farm owners need to adopt a series of scientific and reasonable methods to ensure the life safety of sows and piglets.

Reasonable construction of delivery room

First, make sure the sow's farrowing room is properly built. The floor of the farrowing room should be made of soft, dry and easy-to-clean materials to avoid slipping and tilting. At the same time, keep the temperature of the farrowing room appropriate to prevent the sow from feeling uncomfortable due to cold or overheating, which increases the probability of disease.

Scientific placement of sows

The placement of sows is also crucial. Before sows give birth, they should be placed alone to avoid fighting or oppression with other sows, which can cause tension. When giving birth, make sure the sows have enough space to give birth and avoid oppression on newborn piglets.

Proper care of piglets

In addition to caring for sows, it is also very important to take care of piglets. Piglets need to be kept warm and fed in time after birth to ensure their health. At the same time, the farm mainly inspects the delivery room regularly to find abnormal conditions in time and deal with them.

Using the fence

Another effective way to prevent sows from crushing piglets is to use isolation fences. Isolation fences can separate piglets and sows at the right time, reducing the possibility of sows accidentally injuring piglets. At the same time, isolation fences can also help sows and piglets establish a process of getting familiar with each other and reduce conflicts.

Regular training of breeding staff

Finally, farm owners should also regularly train breeding staff to improve their ability to observe and judge sow behavior. Only when breeding staff have certain professional knowledge and emergency response capabilities can they better avoid sows crushing piglets.

There are many aspects to managing sow farms, but as long as appropriate measures are taken, the situation of sows crushing piglets can be effectively avoided. I hope the above methods can be of some help to farm owners in sow farming.

Thank you for reading this article, I hope these scientific methods can help you better manage your sow farm.
