CATDOLL : CATDOLL: The reproduction and insemination process of sows

The reproductive process of sows is very important for the breeding industry, and it is directly related to the reproductive efficiency of the pig farm. In pig farms, how to breed and inseminate sows is a key skill that farmers need to understand and master.

1. Sow breeding technology

Sow breeding technology refers to pairing sows with breeding pigs to ensure that the sows can conceive and give birth to healthy piglets. When choosing breeding pigs, you need to pay attention to the following points:

• Breeding pigs must have a good genetic background and reproductive ability.
• Choose breeding pigs that are adapted to the sows to avoid large differences in size.
• Make sure your breeding stock is disease free and vaccinated.

Things to note during mating include:

• During the estrus period of the sows, the sows are brought into contact with the breeding pigs to observe whether they can immediately go into estrus.
• Ensure the breeding environment is clean and quiet to reduce stress on the sows.
• Control the time and frequency of breeding to avoid excessive fatigue and injury.

2. Sow insemination technology

Sow insemination is the process of injecting semen collected from boars into sows to achieve conception and reproduction. The correct use of insemination technology is very important for improving reproductive efficiency.

The steps of sow insemination include:

• Collecting boar semen: Collecting boar semen into an instrument using artificial insemination.
• Prepare the sow: Wash the vulva with about 70 clean warm water, and then soak the vaginal mucus membrane with toxic substances. Then, fix the sow on the artificial insemination table.
• Semen injection: The collected boar semen is injected into the sow's vagina through an artificial insemination device.
• Observe the sow's reaction: After injecting semen, observe whether the sow will show any pregnancy reaction.
• Control the number of inseminations: Generally, each sow is inseminated once.

In short, the sow breeding and insemination process is an important reproductive technology in pig farms. Their correct application can improve the reproductive efficiency of sows and the quality of piglets.

Thank you very much for reading this article. I hope it helps you understand the breeding and insemination process of sows.
