Farmers and friends all know that the main source of income for pig farms is sows and piglets. The prenatal and postpartum care of sows and the weaning of piglets are the most concerned things for pig farmers. Whether the weaning of piglets is successful or not determines the growth rate of piglets in the nursery stage and even the growth rate of piglets. The length of time for pigs to be released, so the weaning of piglets is very important for pig farmers, so what are the techniques for weaning piglets? I have two suggestions for you. Interested friends come and have a look!
1. Transition of feeding and management of piglet weaning skills
1). Gradually reduce the frequency of breastfeeding. 5-7 days before weaning, piglets are fed 5-6 times a day, gradually transitioned to 1-2 times a day, and the last weaning.
2). Gradually reduce the feeding amount of concentrate and green material. Before weaning, the sow should gradually reduce the amount of concentrate and green sweaty feed, and appropriately increase the proportion of roughage in the diet to prevent mastitis in sows during weaning.
3). Within 15 days after weaning, it should be raised according to the method of lactation, and fed once at night to avoid starvation of piglets. Do not overfeed each time to keep the piglet's appetite strong and prevent diarrhea. At the same time supply sufficient clean drinking water.
2. The transition of piglet weaning skills to the environment
1). Gradually reduce the time spent with mother and baby before weaning. During the weaning period, the sows can be driven out of the pen during the day to separate the mother and the calf. The sows are driven back to the original pen at night.
2). In addition to selling after weaning, those who practice self-propagation and self-raising should not be transferred from the original circle as much as possible, and do not immediately mix the group and litters, just drive the sows away.
3). The transfer and brooding should be carried out after weaning for half a month, after the feeding and excrement are normal, and the piglets should be allowed to move together or eat in the same trough within 3-5 days, and then they will be reared together after being familiar with each other.
If the feed management and environment can be transitioned well, the piglets can basically be successfully weaned, and healthy growth after weaning is no longer a problem. Therefore, pig farmers must do a good job in the transition of feed management and environment when weaning piglets, so that the probability of successful weaning of piglets will be greatly improved. Finally, I hope this article will be helpful to pig farmers. If you want to know more about agricultural technology, please pay attention to Hui Nong Academy!
