CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Causes and treatments of sows' genitals cracking

It is very common for domestic sows to have cracked calves in the daily feeding and breeding process. So why does this happen? How to deal with it? This article will analyze the causes of cracked calves in sows and give corresponding treatment methods.

Reason 1: Pelvic discomfort during the breeding period

The pelvis of a sow will gradually expand in the late pregnancy to accommodate the development of the fetus and the birthing process. However, some sows have maldeveloped pelvis or loose pelvic ligaments, which makes it difficult for them to adapt to this process. During birthing, the fetus is blocked when passing through the pelvic cavity, and the sow exerts too much force to speed up the birthing process, resulting in a pelvic tear.

Reason 2: Anxiety caused by environmental factors

Sows are very sensitive to changes in their farrowing environment and often feel uneasy because of an abnormal environment. For example, when sows are moved to an unfamiliar place, there is too much noise or human disturbance, they will feel nervous and stressed, which may lead to kicking and cracking during farrowing.

Treatment method 1: Reasonable feeding and management

In order to prevent the occurrence of sows' calf cracking, we should start from feeding and management. First, we should ensure the feeding quantity and feeding quality of sows during pregnancy, provide balanced nutrition and rich feed. Secondly, the breeding environment of sows should be stable, avoiding frequent relocation and external interference. In addition, we should arrange the sows' exercise and rest reasonably to help them maintain a good mental state.

Solution 2: Timely intervention and medical treatment

If a sow has a scrotal tear, we should intervene and seek medical attention in time to prevent subsequent complications. First, the injured sow should be isolated and provided with a comfortable rest and treatment environment. Secondly, drugs can be used to stop bleeding and reduce inflammation to reduce the risk of infection. Moreover, regular inspections and treatments are very important to ensure that the sow can recover smoothly.

In short, sow pelvic fissure is a common phenomenon, and its causes include pelvic discomfort during the breeding period and anxiety caused by environmental factors. To prevent the occurrence of sow pelvic fissure, we should carry out reasonable feeding and management, and timely intervention and medical treatment.
