CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Effective methods and precautions to improve sow conception rate

Background

The sow conception rate is one of the important indicators of pig farm production efficiency, and is of great significance to improving the quantity and quality of marketed pigs. In the breeding process, there are some factors that affect the sow conception rate. Therefore, reasonable management and efficient measures are the key to improving the sow conception rate.

Improvement of feeding environment and management

1. Provide a comfortable living environment: Sows need comfortable housing to reduce stress and maintain good health. Provide sows with appropriate temperature, humidity and ventilation to ensure comfortable living conditions.

2. Optimize feed and water quality: The feed should contain sufficient nutrients, such as protein, vitamins and minerals. At the same time, the water quality should be clean and hygienic to avoid affecting the health and conception rate of sows due to water quality problems.

3. Regular health check-ups: Ask a veterinarian to check the sows regularly to ensure they are in good health. Pay attention to checking the sows’ mouth, skin, udders and other parts to detect and treat diseases in a timely manner.

Reasonable breeding plan

1. Select high-quality boars: Selecting boars with good genetic genes can improve the quality and production capacity of the next generation of pigs.

2. Control the timing of breeding: choose the appropriate breeding time according to the sow's estrus period to maximize the conception rate.

3. Reasonable breeding ratio: Maintain an appropriate breeding ratio between boars and sows to avoid excessive fatigue of boars and over-fertilization of sows.

Focus on the nutritional needs of sows

1. Provide balanced feed: Sows need to get enough nutrients during pregnancy and lactation to maintain the health of themselves and the fetus. The feed should contain enough energy, protein and trace elements.

2. Provide sufficient water and good drinking water conditions: Sows need more water to meet their body needs during pregnancy and lactation.

3. Control feed amount and feeding frequency: According to the sow’s needs during pregnancy and lactation, reasonably control feed amount and feeding frequency.

Sow disease prevention and control

1. Vaccination: Vaccinate sows rationally based on the epidemic situation and veterinary advice to improve their disease resistance.

2. Regular deworming: Regular deworming can prevent parasite invasion and reduce the disease burden of sows.

3. Sterilization and disinfection: Keep the pig house clean and hygienic, and carry out sterilization and disinfection in time to prevent the spread of disease.

Conclusion

By improving the feeding environment and management, reasonable breeding plan, paying attention to the nutritional needs of sows and the prevention and control of sow diseases, the conception rate of sows can be effectively improved. This not only has an important impact on the production efficiency of pig farms, but also can improve the quality and stability of pork supply.

Finally, thank you for reading this article. I hope these methods and precautions will help you improve the sow conception rate.
