How to keep weak newborn piglets
Pigs are multi-fetal animals and inevitably appear weak. In sow production, almost every litter has a size difference. At present, while the scale field is pursuing the high yield of sows, the survival rate of piglets is reduced, only 75% to 92%, mainly because the piglets are uneven and the number of weak piglets is increasing. Often there is a wide disparity, the stronger ones are stronger, the weaker ones are weaker, and the weak piglets are severely malnourished due to lack of milk and become dead pigs or die. The first three days after production are the most dangerous time. Piglets that die of weak, hungry, cold, or sow by gilts account for 60% to 80% or even more. The survival rate of piglets is related to the economic benefits of pig farms. Below 0.8 kg of newborn piglets, the mortality rate in the future is about 77%; in newborn pigs below 1 kg, the mortality rate in the future is about 44%. Grasping scientific methods, fine management can save a piglet, or may gain the benefits of a pig. Weak piglets, non-dairy piglets and stiff pigs have become difficult points in piglet rearing rate and are the starting point of the epidemic of pig farms. How to keep weak first-born piglets is an important step to improve the economic benefits of pig farms. Some farms use separate feeding (weak separation, regular feeding) for weak piglets, foster care, stomach tube feeding (injection of quantitative colostrum and milk directly into piglet stomach with an applicator), artificial feeding, and milk replacement Sows (when a piglet with a slow growth in a litter of piglets cannot be weaned, allowing the sow to stay, prolonging the suckling time of the piglets), separate weaning, etc., can receive certain effects. However, these methods are cumbersome and require careful attention, which undoubtedly increases the workload of the delivery room staff, and it is difficult to do so. Piglets lack antibody protection after their first birth and the fat energy in the body can only last for one day. Within a few days, the piglets cannot regulate the internal temperature of the body properly. Therefore, after the piglets are born, the competition for the breasts is very intense. They want to eat a certain amount of colostrum to ensure that they get enough immunoglobulins and energy to survive. The weak piglets often cannot find the nipples in time, and the body temperature is lower than that of the healthy pigs, especially in the cold season. Therefore, weak piglets need to receive adequate colostrum through special extra care. After the sow is finished giving birth, the weak piglets are arranged on the nipples in front of the milk to eat the colostrum. Although the second and third pairs of breast milk are rich in water, the fourth and fifth pairs of breasts are more suitable due to the smaller size of the weaker ones. The current practice of cutting teeth and breaking tails is the measure taken by most pig farms, and it does not say the pros and cons of this measure. However, these two steps have brought great pain and stress to the newborn piglets. For the weak pigs, they are even more serious. A big blow is like worse. Therefore, in order to improve the viability of weak-bred pigs, we have repeatedly verified that weaned teeth are not cut and the tail is not continuously cut. One milliliter of intramuscular injection of Butadiopine Phosphate Injection (Hengweikang) on ​​the day of birth is used to directly convert the energy into the general currency ATP and increase resistance. Stress, disease resistance. This method can maximize the competitiveness of weak piglets and healthy piglets on the breast and greatly increase the survival rate. With this method, the sow's breasts are rarely damaged and the tail biting phenomenon is small. When weaning, the weak seedling has a high survival rate, good growth and development, and even has little difference with normal suckling piglets, which maximizes the herd Uniformity ensures the economic benefits of the farm. In addition to being effective, the key to this method is simple and easy to operate. Most of the farms can do it, and more farms can be used.
