Feeding and Management Points for Piglets in the First Week after Birth

According to statistics, most of the losses and deaths of piglets after birth occurred within 30 days, and especially the deaths in the first week often accounted for more than 60% of the total deaths. The reason for the analysis is mainly that the newborn piglet was crushed to death by the sow, or the piglet died of jaundice and colds due to poor self-resistance. Therefore, it is very important to grasp the feeding and management of piglets in the first week after birth. (I) Note that the suitable temperature for the newborn piglets in the first week of incubation is 25-30 °C. Considering the actual situation of ordinary farm pigs, the author suggests that a simple insulated room can be built on the side of the sow. The materials for the construction of the insulation room can be made on the spot. Fiberglass, hollow bricks, etc. can also be used. Generally, the insulation room should be 1.2 meters long, 0.75 meters wide, and 1 meter high, leaving a piglet free at the bottom of one side of the insulation room. In and out of the small gate, the gate is 0.15-0.20 meters wide and 0.20 meters high. The insulation chamber can be heated by hanging an infrared light bulb (250-500 watts) or using a hot water bottle. In the middle of the insulation room, a dry and wet thermometer is suspended 0.5 meters from the bottom to accurately grasp the temperature and humidity. Put some short, loose grass on the indoor floor and pay attention to changing. (b) to eat enough colostrum Because the newborn piglets do not have innate immunity, must be obtained by sucking colostrum, otherwise prone to multiple diseases. In addition, colostrum is extremely rich in nutrients, contains a lot of protein, milk fat, high acidity, to meet the needs of piglets growth and development. Keepers should pay attention to observations. Once a piglet is found to be competing for the same nipple, mediation must be promptly conducted. It is better to fix the weak piglets in the front and middle, and the powerful piglets are fixed in the middle and back so that the entire litter of piglets can develop evenly and neatly. If a small number of weak piglets are under sucking, supplemental feeding may be carried out to increase the survival rate of whole litter piglets. (C) to strengthen nursing ordinary farm pigs, often only pay attention to the day of childbirth delivery, and once all the pigs output, then think that everything will be fine. In fact, the care of piglets within one week after birth is not negligible. In order to prevent the piglets from being crushed and trampled to death, sows are provided with pressure-proof barriers. It must also conduct regular inspections to prevent starvation and death from freezing. (4) Iron deficiency in selenium-supplemented piglets will affect their hematopoiesis. Newborn piglets have very little iron reserves and the amount available from breast milk is limited. In addition, the lack of selenium in piglets is susceptible to selenium-induced diarrhea, hepatic necrosis, white muscle disease, and edema disease. Therefore, piglets must be supplemented with selenium. There are several methods for this: (1) Within three days after birth, the piglets are injected intramuscularly with dextran iron and cobalt injection and sodium selenite vitamin E injection in the neck or buttocks, and iron and selenium compounds such as "skin" can also be used. "Blood blood treasure" and so on, the use of dose should be determined according to the product description. (2) The 0.2% ferrous sulfate plus 0.1% copper sulphate solution was dropped on the sow's nipple for the piglets to eat. (3) Spread some clean red clay in the circle so that the piglets can eat freely to make up for the lack of iron. (E) There may be deaths of sows due to one reason or another during sowing and raising, or the sows have no milk after birth, or the number of piglets produced exceeds the number of effective teats. "Ma" or milkless piglets are sent to other sows to feed. Occasionally, there may be a small number of sows born or a part of piglets that have died for some reason. In order to increase the utilization rate of sows, these piglets may be appropriately combined. Before the merger, the piglets must eat enough colostrum. Whether it is to send nests or raise nests, we must make full use of the characteristics of the pig's sense of smell. We must first mix the piglets before we deliver the nest and raise them. The method is to use the milk of the "nanny" (do not advocate the sow's urine) to wipe the whole body of the piglets and mix them at night. Observe later to prevent the sow from licking or biting into the piglet. (VI) Prevention and treatment of diseases In order to prevent piglets from developing in the future, after the birth of the piglets, the piglets can be vaccinated with conventional doses of attenuated vaccines for pigs before they have been fed. After 2 hours, piglets are allowed to feed freely. In addition, the sow can be given "Zichaosan" or oxytetracycline drugs to prevent piglets from developing red and jaundice. If the piglets have such diseases, they should immediately feed the piglets with an anti-spasmodic cream, and they can use the slayers' solution or stubble to wipe the pig's back skin. Generally, they will be effective after 1-2 times.
