CATDOLL : Scientific feeding methods for sows after mating

Importance of sows after mating

The sow is the core of piglet production, and feeding after mating is crucial for fetal health and sow physical recovery.

Feeding principles for sows after mating

• Balanced nutrition: Sows need to be provided with balanced feed after mating to ensure that they get adequate nutrition, which is conducive to the healthy development of the fetus.
• Feeding management: After mating, the sow’s appetite must be maintained to avoid anorexia. This can be done by increasing the frequency of feeding and reducing the amount of feed.
• Water guarantee: After mating, sows must be guaranteed to have sufficient drinking water and clean water quality, which is conducive to digestion and absorption and maintaining health.
• Timed management: It is recommended to feed on time to ensure the sow’s regular life, which is beneficial to physical recovery and fetal development.

Specific feeding methods for sows after mating

1. Feed high-quality feed to ensure adequate energy and protein supply.

2. Supplement appropriate amounts of vitamins and minerals to maintain the health of sows.

3. Control the reasonable amount of feed to avoid sows being overweight or malnourished.
