CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to care for sows and piglets

Sow farrowing

Sows giving birth is one of the most common scenes on the farm. Ensuring smooth delivery of sows and healthy growth of piglets is crucial to the success of farming. There are several key preparations to be done before sows give birth. First, make sure that the sows are kept in a quiet, dry, and warm environment, and that there is enough feed to provide adequate nutrition for the piglets to be born. Secondly, the sows should be given a prenatal physical examination to ensure that they are in good health. Finally, a clean farrowing house needs to be prepared, and there should be enough clean and warm bedding for sows to use during farrowing.

After farrowing begins, the sow's condition needs to be closely monitored so that timely action can be taken. During the farrowing process, the sow may have some complications, such as abnormal position of the placenta or fetus, which requires professional intervention. When the piglets are born, they should be placed in a clean, warm and comfortable environment in time.

Piglet care methods

After the piglets are born, special attention needs to be paid to their health. First, an initial examination is performed to ensure that the piglets have no obvious diseases or injuries. Then, it is necessary to ensure that the piglets are getting enough milk. The sow's milk is rich in nutrients, which is essential for the healthy growth of the piglets.

In addition, a good feeding environment should be provided for the piglets. It is very important to keep the feed clean and fresh. Clean the feeder and waterer regularly to keep the environment clean and reduce the risk of piglets getting sick.

In addition, the piglet breeding density should be appropriate, as too high a density will increase the risk of disease transmission. At the same time, the room temperature should be kept appropriate to avoid the effects of overheating or overcooling on the piglets.

During the growth of piglets, regular vaccination and deworming can help prevent diseases and parasites. At the same time, closely observe the behavior and appetite of piglets to detect abnormalities and deal with them in time.

In general, sow farrowing and piglet care are crucial links in the breeding industry. Through effective preparation and scientific care methods, we can ensure the smooth delivery of sows and the healthy growth of piglets, and improve breeding efficiency.
