Pig farmers must read: The key to preventing sudden sow death

Sows are a very critical part of pig farming, but sometimes sows die suddenly, which brings great trouble to farmers. So, what exactly causes sows to die suddenly?

Analysis of common causes:

• Disease infection: If sows are infected with diseases, especially infectious diseases, they often die suddenly. Timely disease detection and isolation treatment are very important.
• Malnutrition: If sows lack the necessary nutrients for a long time, they will have problems with their body functions and then die suddenly. Reasonable feed ratio and nutritional management are crucial.
• Environmental factors: The impact of environmental factors such as overcooling, overheating, and poor ventilation on sows cannot be ignored. Maintaining a comfortable growth environment is essential to prevent sudden death.
• Production stress: If sows are under too much production stress, such as frequent mating and lactation, they are prone to various physical problems. Reasonable management of the production process and reducing the stress of sows are the key to preventing deaths.

Countermeasures:

To prevent sudden sow death, pig farmers can take the following measures:

• Conduct disease testing regularly and isolate and treat any diseases found in a timely manner.
• Reasonably adjust the feed ratio to ensure that sows get adequate nutrition.
• Maintain appropriate ambient temperature and good ventilation to ensure the physical comfort of the sows.
• Rationally manage the production process, reduce the production pressure of sows, and ensure the health of sows.

By taking the above measures, we can effectively prevent the sudden death of sows and ensure the healthy and stable development of the pig herd.
