CATDOLL : How to deal with sows that are too old?

introduction

In the breeding process, the age of sows is an important indicator, which is directly related to the production and breeding benefits. When the sows are too old, farmers need to take corresponding measures to deal with it. This article will introduce in detail the causes, effects and treatment methods of sows that are too old.

Cause Analysis

The main reasons for sows being too old include unreasonable feeding and management, disease impact, environmental factors, etc. If the age of sows is ignored for a long time, it will lead to premature aging of sows, affecting productivity and fertility.

Impact Analysis

When sows are too old, their growth rate slows down, and the production and quality of live pigs decrease. In addition, the reproductive capacity of sows will also be affected to a certain extent, resulting in a decrease in the number and quality of offspring pigs. These will directly affect the economic benefits of farmers.

Treatment

Faced with the situation of sows being too old, farmers can take the following measures to deal with it:

• Update sows in time : According to the actual situation of the sows, eliminate sows that are too old in time, introduce new young sows, and keep the bloodline of the pig herd updated.
• Adjust feeding management : Strengthen feeding management of sows, ensure their nutritional balance in diet, reasonably increase supplementary nutrition, and slow down their aging process.
• Strengthen disease prevention and control : Conduct regular health checks on sows to detect and treat diseases in a timely manner, ensure the health of sows, and improve their immunity.
• Improve the production environment : Provide sows with a clean and well-ventilated production environment, reduce the impact of the environment on sows' health, and improve their production efficiency.

Through the comprehensive implementation of the above measures, we can effectively deal with the problems caused by sows being too old, improve breeding efficiency, and ensure the sustainable development of the breeding industry.
