CATDOLL : CATDOLL: A guide to pig farrowing and reproduction techniques

Introduction to pig reproduction and midwifery

Pigs are one of the main agricultural products of mankind, and their reproduction and midwifery technology are of great significance to ensuring the supply of agricultural products and farmers' income. The pig reproduction process includes breeding, gestation, delivery and weaning, and farmers need to take appropriate measures at each stage to ensure the health of sows and the survival of piglets.

Pig breeding technology

Pig breeding technology is an important part of the breeding process. Farmers can choose natural breeding or artificial breeding, and choose the appropriate breeding method according to the conditions of sows and boars. Before breeding, farmers need to ensure that the sows are in estrus and vaccinate and check the health of the boars.

Management of gestation period in pigs

The gestation period of pigs is usually 114 days. Farmers need to provide sows with suitable feed and environment to ensure their health and nutritional needs. At the same time, they need to regularly monitor the weight and behavioral changes of sows to detect abnormalities in time and deal with them.

Pig farrowing techniques

Pig delivery is a key part of midwifery. Farmers should prepare the delivery site in advance and ensure that it is clean, safe and warm. Observe the sow's delivery signs, such as nipple congestion, tail lifting, etc., and provide necessary help and care during the delivery process.

Weaning management of pigs

The weaning period for pigs is usually 21-28 days. Farmers need to wean piglets gradually and provide suitable feed and environment to promote the healthy growth of piglets. At the same time, they need to strengthen the epidemic prevention work of piglets to prevent the occurrence of common diseases.

In short, pig midwifery and reproduction technology plays an important role in agricultural production. Farmers should improve pig productivity and piglet survival rate through reasonable breeding, pregnancy management, delivery technology and weaning management. This article introduces the basic points of pig reproduction and midwifery technology, hoping to help farmers in the process of pig reproduction and midwifery.
