CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to increase sow milk production

Understanding the milk production process of sows

Sow lactation refers to the process by which sows secrete milk to feed their piglets. This process is divided into two stages: milk production and lactation. Milk production refers to the start of milk production in sows, while lactation refers to the start of feeding piglets. Milk production is the key to ensuring that piglets get enough nutrition, so increasing sow milk production is crucial for the growth and development of piglets.

Feeding management and nutrition

Good feeding management and proper nutrition intake are the key to increasing sow milk production. Here are some ways:

• Reasonable diet arrangement: Provide high-quality, balanced feed, including grain, protein and minerals. Ensure that sows take in enough nutrients.
• Adequate drinking water: Sows must have adequate drinking water at all times to help the secretion of milk.
• Moderate exercise: Appropriate exercise can promote the sow's appetite and metabolism and help milk production.
• Reasonable feeding time: according to the sow's eating habits, ensure that the feeding time is regular and sufficient.

Environment and comfort

A comfortable environment can help increase sow milk production. Here are some suggestions:

• Maintain a comfortable temperature: Sows need a warm and dry environment that is not affected by temperatures that are too high or too low.
• Provide comfortable sleeping bunks: Providing sows with clean and comfortable sleeping bunks can help them relax and increase milk production.
• Avoid disturbances: Keep the farm quiet and avoid unnecessary noise and disturbances to ensure the stability and peace of mind of the sows.

Disease prevention and control

The health of the sow has a great influence on milk production. Here are some suggestions:

• Regular physical examinations: Regularly check the health of sows to detect and deal with diseases in advance.
• Preventive vaccinations: According to the veterinarian's advice, sows should be vaccinated with appropriate vaccines to prevent the occurrence of common diseases.
• Maintain hygiene: Keep the breeding environment clean, clean the pig house and feeding utensils regularly to reduce the risk of disease transmission.

Through the above methods, the milk production of sows can be increased, ensuring that piglets get enough nutrition and promoting growth and development. At the same time, paying attention to details in the feeding process and maintaining a good living environment can help improve the milk production of sows and ensure the health of sows.

Thank you for reading this article. I hope the above methods can help you increase your sows’ milk production and contribute to the healthy growth of your piglets.
