CATDOLL : Reasons and solutions for sows not eating after weaning

Why don’t sows eat after weaning?

There may be many reasons why sows are unwilling to eat after weaning. First, the sows may be in a state of postpartum stress, which leads to a decrease in appetite. Second, the sows may be unwell due to mastitis or other health problems, which affects their appetite. In addition, environmental changes, poor feed quality, and too monotonous feed may also cause sows to lose their appetite.

How to help sows restore their appetite?

1. Ensure that fresh drinking water is available. After weaning, sows need a lot of water to promote digestion and metabolism, so make sure that the drinking water facilities are clean and unobstructed.

2. Provide high-quality feed. The type and quality of feed directly affect the appetite of sows. It is necessary to choose feed with good palatability and comprehensive nutrition.

3. Give the sows a moderate amount of exercise. A moderate amount of exercise can promote the sow’s metabolism and appetite, but be careful not to over-exercise and cause excessive physical exhaustion.

4. Create a comfortable environment. Sows need a clean, quiet and comfortable living environment to reduce external stress and interference.

5. Check the health status regularly. If any abnormal symptoms are found in the sows, please ask a veterinarian to check them in time to rule out potential health problems.

Conclusion

There may be many factors that cause sows not to eat after weaning, which require comprehensive analysis and corresponding measures. By ensuring drinking water, providing high-quality feed, adequate exercise, improving the living environment and checking health status in time, you can help sows restore their appetite and ensure their healthy growth.
