CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Farming experts teach you how to raise sows scientifically

introduction

Pigs are one of the most important livestock breeds in my country, and gilts are the primary breeding group of pigs. Scientific feeding methods can not only improve the reproductive capacity and production efficiency of gilts, but also reduce the occurrence of diseases. This article will give you a detailed introduction on how to scientifically feed gilts to achieve better results.

Rearing environment

The feeding environment of sows and gilts needs to be kept dry, ventilated and clean. The feeding house should be built away from sewage sources and other pig houses to reduce the risk of cross infection. The feces and garbage in the feeding house should be cleaned regularly to maintain hygiene.

The temperature of the feeding house should be appropriate. Too high or too low will have a negative impact on the reproductive capacity of gilts and piglets. Reasonable temperature should be adjusted according to seasonal and climate changes to ensure the comfort of the pigs.

Feed Combination

The feed for gilts needs to be matched according to their different physiological states and nutritional needs. During pregnancy, high-energy and high-protein feed should be provided to maintain the normal development of sows and fetuses. During lactation, the feeding amount and nutritional density should be increased to meet the growth needs of piglets.

At the same time, in order to prevent too much or too little nutrients in the feed, you can consult a veterinarian for professional feed mixing plans and make corresponding adjustments according to seasonal and climate changes.

Disease prevention and control

During the breeding process, gilts are vulnerable to various diseases, so disease prevention and control is very important. Keeping the breeding environment clean and hygienic is the basis for disease prevention. In addition, regular physical examinations, vaccinations and deworming of gilts can reduce the occurrence of diseases.

If you notice any discomfort or abnormality, you should consult a veterinarian promptly for diagnosis and treatment.

Focus on management

Scientific management is the key to raising gilts. A sound monitoring and recording system should be established to track the growth and reproduction of the herd. At the same time, reproductive performance evaluation should be carried out regularly to eliminate sows with low production capacity to improve reproductive efficiency.

In addition, a reasonable group size and a reasonable breeding ratio also have an important impact on the reproductive capacity of sows and gilts, and should be adjusted reasonably according to actual conditions.

in conclusion

Scientific sow and gilt feeding methods can improve their reproductive capacity and production efficiency and reduce the occurrence of diseases. Keeping the feeding environment clean and sanitary, properly matching feed, doing a good job in disease prevention and control, and paying attention to scientific management are the keys to achieving this goal.
