Weaning is an important part of sow production. Proper weaning feeding can ensure the healthy growth of piglets. The feeding of sows one day before weaning is a critical period. Here are some scientific methods. 1. Control the number of breastfeeding sessionsStarting from the day before weaning, the number of breastfeeding can be gradually reduced. Normally, the number of breastfeeding of sows is 4-5 times/day, which can be gradually reduced to 3 times/day, and then gradually reduced to the last 2 times/day before weaning. This can gradually reduce the piglets' dependence on breast milk and prepare for weaning. 2. Gradually add supplementary feedOne day before weaning, you can gradually start adding some supplementary feed that is suitable for piglets to digest. Supplementary feed can be some easily digestible granular feed, such as rice bran, soybean meal, wheat bran, etc. You can add an appropriate amount at the beginning and gradually increase the feeding amount to 2-3 times a day. 3. Provide clean drinking waterThe day before sows are weaned, make sure that the piglets have enough clean drinking water. You can choose automatic drinking water equipment, keep the water fountain clean and the water source fresh to ensure that the piglets drink water actively. 4. Ensure the sanitation of the pig houseThe day before sows are weaned, the piggery should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. Remove feces and waste from the piggery and spray the piggery with disinfectant to reduce the risk of disease transmission and provide a clean and hygienic environment. 5. Appropriately control piglet weight before weaningThe day before weaning, the weight of the piglets can be controlled by adjusting the feeding amount and feed type. If the piglets are too heavy, it will increase the difficulty of delivery, and if they are too light, it may affect their growth and development. Therefore, according to the actual situation of the piglets, the feeding amount and feed type should be controlled to make the piglets reach the appropriate weight. The feeding of sows one day before weaning is a critical period. Reasonable weaning feeding can lay a good foundation for the healthy growth of piglets. By controlling the number of lactation, gradually adding supplementary feed, providing clean drinking water, ensuring the sanitation of the pig house and properly controlling the weight of piglets, sows and piglets can be helped through this important period.
