CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What to do if the sow cannot conceive? Solutions to share

What is the problem if the fetus cannot be delivered?

Sow fetal failure refers to the situation in which the fetus does not enter the birth canal normally during the sow's delivery and stagnates in the uterus and cannot be delivered smoothly. This situation may cause a series of health problems for the sow and the fetus, and farmers need to take timely measures to intervene.

Possible causes

There are many reasons why sows may not be able to get pregnant, including:

• The fetus is too large: If the size of the fetus exceeds the tolerance limit of the sow's uterus and birth canal, it will lead to fetal one.
• Abnormal fetal development: Abnormal fetal development may lead to fetal one, such as embryonic development stagnation, fetal malformation, etc.
• Abnormalities in the sow's uterus: Abnormalities in the sow's uterus, such as endometrial lesions, uterine inflammation, etc., may also lead to the occurrence of fetal one.
• Other factors: There are some other factors, such as incorrect delivery posture of sows and retained placenta, which may cause fetal one.

How to deal with sows that cannot deliver the fetus?

In the case of sows not being able to get out of the womb, we can take the following measures:

1. Observation: If the sow fails to deliver the fetus, the first thing to do is to observe whether there are any signs of illness or abnormality. If the sow is found to have fever, shortness of breath, abnormal swelling of the abdomen, etc., a veterinarian should be consulted for examination and diagnosis in time.
2. Oxytocin intervention: If it is judged that the delivery is normal and difficult, oxytocin can be used for intervention. Oxytocin helps stimulate uterine contractions and promote the fetus to enter the birth canal. However, before using oxytocin, be sure to seek the advice of a veterinarian and follow his instructions.
3. Manual intervention: If the fetus is in a serious condition and cannot be resolved by oxytocin, then manual intervention may be required. This requires an experienced veterinarian to perform the operation, including manually pushing the fetus into the birth canal, caesarean section, etc.
4. Postoperative care: After artificial intervention, sows need appropriate postoperative care, including providing a clean and warm delivery room environment, reasonable feeding and drinking water, etc.

Precautions for preventing pregnancy

Prevention is more important than cure. Here are some precautions to prevent sows from having aborted fetuses:

• Reasonable diet: Provide sows with nutritionally balanced feed to avoid excessive obesity or malnutrition.
• Regular prenatal check-ups: Ask a veterinarian to perform regular prenatal check-ups on the sow to ensure that the sow's uterus and fetus are developing well.
• Pay attention to environmental hygiene: keep the pig house clean to prevent sow diseases such as uterine inflammation.
• Eugenics and good breeding: Based on the reproductive capacity of the sow, fetal development and other factors, select the breed and breeding to reduce the risk of single-birth.

In summary, sow fetal failure is a condition that requires timely intervention. Farmers should observe and diagnose in detail, take appropriate treatment measures according to the situation, and strengthen prevention work to ensure the health of sows and fetuses.
