Reasons and countermeasures for sows refraining from sucking pigs after giving birth

Changes in the sow's living environment

Most of the pig houses in rural areas have poor insulation properties and there is no special delivery room. In winter and spring, the weather is cold. In order to prevent piglets from freezing after being born, the sows are rushed to the house where they live before giving birth to the house. Some also transport the born piglets to the house and then feed the sows to the house when they are breastfeeding. This protects the piglets, but due to a sudden change in the living environment, the sows will not adapt to the new environment, emotional stress, and stress will not allow the piglets to suck.

To allow a sow to give birth to a house or to feed a sow to the house for breastfeeding, the sow should be rushed to the house several days in advance to make it adaptable. Once you are comfortable with the emotions, you will not refuse the piglets when you are quiet.

Sucking sows have no breast-feeding experience

General sows do not have breast-feeding experience. After the delivery process, because of nervousness, irritability, and disturbed by the disturbed piglets, the sows are fearful and uneasy.

When this phenomenon is observed after the sow has been delivered, the breeder should guard the sow and carefully tune it. When the sow is lying down, she can scratch the sow's belly with her hands and watch the piglets keep them from chasing the nipples so that the sows can keep their peace of mind as long as the piglets eat milk several times. It is advisable for the primiparous gilts to massage their udders regularly during the later stages of pregnancy so that when the piglets come into contact with the nipples, the gilts will not show signs of uneasiness and will be able to breastfeed immediately after birth. If you do not allow the piglets to suck milk, you must take compulsory measures to feed them. After a few times, the sows can feed normally.

Sows lack lactation or no milk

When the sow's milk is abundant, the breasts will usually swell every other hour or so, so that the sow will feel uncomfortable. The sow will naturally lie and breastfeed. When the piglet finishes eating the milk, the sow will feel it. Comfortable.

In the event that the sow suffers from lack of milk or lack of milk, the piglets are dragging their sows back and forth to make the sows restless and restless. Sometimes the piglet is arched or the nipple is pressed down under the body and the piglets are not allowed to bite the nipple. This occurs most often in sows with malnutrition, dry breasts, and after parturition, although there is a portion of colostrum, it will be milkless immediately.

To strengthen the nutrition of the sow during pregnancy, to reduce the amount of feed and protein content before feeding. Appropriately increase the movement of nursing sows, and massage the breasts every day to increase the green, juicy, protein-rich, vitamin-rich feed. When there is breast milk and poor lactation, intramuscular injection of uterine contracting hormone 5 ml to 6 ml twice a day, generally two days later to restore lactation; also can be injected 2 ml to 3 ml of prolactin Ling, twice daily, in promoting lactation At the same time, can prevent sows breast edema, mastitis embolism; if no milk can be used for traditional Chinese medicine treatment, Vaccaria 40 grams, Chuanxiong 30 grams, Tongcao 30 grams, 30 grams of angelica, Codonopsis 30 grams, peach kernel 20 grams, research into Fine, add 5 eggs, mixed together for the sow to eat; can also be used 0.5 kilograms of seaweed bubble after chopped, add animal oil 100 grams, decoction to feed the pig.

Sows suffer from mastitis or piglets bite nipples

When the sow suffers from mastitis, the milk is abundant, the breasts are swollen and the piglets cause pain as soon as they eat milk. The sow will issue a call to the piglet to eat milk at regular intervals. The piglet can hold the nipple. The sow immediately screams, stands up and even bites the piglet. Some piglets competed for nipples or individual piglets. The fangs were unfairly pointed, too sharp and too long to bite the sow's nipples, causing the sows to refuse breastfeeding.

For sows suffering from mastitis, isolate from the piglets. Mild symptoms of the mastitis can be squeezed out of the milk in the affected breasts and partially coated with 10% ointment. With 0.5% procaine hydrochloride solution 50 ml ~ 100 ml, adding 800,000 units ~ 1.6 million units of penicillin to make the base of the breast closed. If the penis tube has good permeability, a milk catheter can be used to inject 800,000 units of penicillin into the cavity and add 1 million units of streptomycin, together with 50 ml of a 0.25% procaine hydrochloride solution, and 1 injection. . If systemic symptoms can be treated with antibiotics.

To carefully inspect the teeth of the piglets and find that there are abnormalities, cut off sharp, long, and incorrect teeth with pliers.

Sow postnatal infection

The postpartum susceptible diseases of sows include endometritis and puerperal fever, all of which cause a decrease in breast milk due to elevated body temperature. Endometritis Most diseased pigs are infected by invading pathogens in vitro, such as birth canal injury and contamination at the time of childbirth, retention of the placenta or residual fragments of the placenta, latent retention of the lobe when the uterus is loose, and uncleanness during childbirth. Hot puerperal fever is caused by postpartum high fever, lying land and so on.

The onset of sows should be promptly treated. For sows suffering from endometritis, the uterus can be washed with 0.1% potassium permanganate solution, and then 1 g chlortetracycline or 800,000 penicillin units can be injected into the uterus. The systemic symptoms can be treated with antibiotics. Those with higher body temperature can be injected with 30% of metasynethylene 0.2g/kg body weight. Sows with puerperal fever can be injected intramuscularly with neostigmine 2 ml to 6 ml once daily; 30 g artificial salt, 10 multivitamin tablets, 20 ml tangerine peel, once daily, Use for 5 days.

Piglets compete for nipples

After the sows gave birth, because the piglets did not fix the nipples, the piglets competed for the nipples, the piglets strung together, and the sows were tangled and irritated. The pigs were rejected for sucking.

When the sow is finished giving birth, the piglet is placed next to the sow and allowed to look for the nipples themselves. After the majority of the piglets have found nipples, they adjust the weak and strong piglets that compete for nipples, placing the weak piglets on the front nipples. Strong piglets are placed behind the nipples. In accordance with this method, they adhere for 2 days to 3 days. After the nipples are fixed, the piglets do not make trouble and compete for nipples.
