This article will give you a detailed introduction from the aspects of breeding environment, feed, disease prevention, etc., to help you manage newly born piglets scientifically and efficiently.

Rearing environment

Newly born piglets need a dry, warm, and well-ventilated breeding environment.

Keep the pig house clean and tidy, and increase the temperature appropriately to prevent the piglets from catching cold.

feed

When choosing feed for piglets, you should pay attention to meeting their nutritional needs for growth and development. In the initial stage, you can choose easily digestible milk paste or special piglet formula milk powder as the staple food, transition to thick feed, and gradually add piglet-specific granular feed. Make sure that the drinking water is clean and sufficient.

Disease prevention

Piglets have weak resistance and are easily attacked by various diseases. Therefore, disease prevention is crucial. Regular vaccination should be carried out for piglets, attention should be paid to the hygiene of the pig farm, and newly introduced pigs should be isolated. Environmental disinfection and disease monitoring should be carried out regularly, and any abnormal situation should be handled in time.

Growth and development monitoring

Regularly monitor the growth and development of piglets, including weight, body temperature, mental state and other indicators. Adjust the feed ratio in time according to the monitoring results to ensure the healthy growth of piglets. At the same time, pay attention to the appetite and activity of piglets, and diagnose and treat any abnormalities in time.
