Why feeding sows correctly is crucialAs an important part of the breeding industry, good feeding of sows is the key to ensuring reproductive efficiency and pork quality. Proper feeding can ensure the health and production capacity of sows, improve their reproductive success rate and the survival rate of weaned piglets, thereby improving the economic benefits of the farm. Reasonable feed formulaThe feed formula of sows should be adjusted according to their needs in different physiological stages. During pregnancy, high-energy, low-crude protein, vitamin- and mineral-rich feed should be provided. During lactation, high-energy, high-crude protein feed is needed to meet the nutritional needs of piglets. For sows of different breeds, weights and reproductive stages, you can consult professional breeding experts or feed companies for advice to develop a suitable feed formula. Restricted feedingRestricted feeding is a commonly used feeding method, which aims to control the weight of sows and improve their productivity and reproductive capacity. By controlling the intake and nutritional value of feed, sows can maintain a good body shape and health. However, when adopting restrictive feeding, scientific adjustments need to be made according to the sow's breed, weight and other production performance indicators to ensure that the sows get enough nutrition. Feeding in stagesThe physiological needs of sows change with the different stages of pregnancy, so they need to be fed in stages. In the first trimester, the sow's intake gradually increases; in the middle and late stages, high-energy, low-crude protein feed should be provided, and the feed intake should be appropriately increased; during lactation, high-energy, high-crude protein feed should be provided, and the intake should be appropriately adjusted according to the growth of the piglets. Regular weight monitoring and adjustmentRegularly checking the weight of sows can detect weight fluctuations and abnormalities in a timely manner and adjust feed intake in a timely manner. Accurate measurement of weight can provide data support for scientific adjustments and decisions. Check the sow’s body condition regularlyRegularly check the physical condition of the sows, including the condition of their skin and hair, their mental state, their appetite and feces, etc., to detect diseases or abnormalities in a timely manner. In the event of any abnormality, a veterinarian should be consulted immediately for diagnosis and treatment. Proper feeding of sows is one of the keys to ensure the sustainable development of the breeding industry. Only when farmers feed sows scientifically and rationally can they improve breeding efficiency and provide consumers with high-quality and safe pork products. Thank you for reading this article. I hope these professional breeding suggestions will help you feed sows correctly. |
