In the breeding industry, sows are very important breeding animals, and their living environment has a vital impact on the health and reproductive efficiency of pigs. Therefore, it is very important to properly manage the sow's pig house. This article will introduce how to properly manage the sow's pig house to improve the production efficiency and health level of pigs.

Keep it clean

It is very important to keep the pig house clean.

In addition, keeping the floor of the pig house dry will also help prevent hoof diseases.

Keep the temperature right

The appropriate living temperature for sows is very important. In winter, the pig house should be kept warm by adding appropriate insulation equipment, such as heating lamps; in summer, good ventilation should be maintained to avoid excessive temperatures in the pig house. Maintaining an appropriate temperature helps improve the production efficiency of sows.

Provide adequate water and feed

The production efficiency and health of sows are closely related to the quality and adequacy of their drinking water and feed. Clean the water trough regularly and replace clean drinking water and feed to ensure that the sows get adequate nutrition. In addition, a reasonable feed ratio is also very important.

Preventing Disease

Sows are the core members of the pig herd. Once a disease occurs, the impact on the entire herd will be huge. Therefore, sows should be regularly examined and vaccinated to prevent the occurrence of diseases. In addition, regular cleaning of the pig house and maintaining air circulation are also important measures to prevent diseases.

Conclusion

Proper care of the sow's pig house is crucial to the health and reproductive efficiency of the pigs. By keeping the pig house clean, maintaining a suitable temperature, providing adequate drinking water and feed, and preventing diseases, you can ensure the health of the sows and improve their production efficiency.
