CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Methods and techniques for group rearing of sows

introduction

Sow group rearing is one of the common breeding methods in modern pig farming, and its advantages include saving space and improving production efficiency. This article will introduce the methods and techniques of sow group rearing to help farmers better manage sow group rearing.

1. Pig farm planning

Raising sows in groups requires reasonable planning of the pig farm environment to ensure that the pig farming environment is sanitary, well ventilated, and has appropriate temperature. It is also necessary to fully consider the growth stage and number of sows, reasonably divide the areas, and set up isolation and delivery areas.

2. Develop a scientific feeding plan

It is very important to formulate a scientific and reasonable feeding plan. According to the growth and development stage of the sow and the characteristics of the breed, the feed should be reasonably configured, sufficient nutrients should be provided, and the drinking water should be clean and hygienic. At the same time, attention should be paid to feeding management, such as feeding at regular times and quantitative amounts to avoid overeating.

3. Determine the appropriate group structure

Sow group rearing requires a reasonable group structure based on the sow's production performance and breed characteristics. Usually, the method of multiple sows and one boar is adopted. The number of boars should be appropriately adjusted according to the number of sows and estrus conditions to ensure fertilization rate and farrowing rate.

4. Strict disease prevention and control measures

There may be a risk of infectious diseases spreading when raising sows in groups, so it is necessary to strictly implement the vaccination and disinfection system, and carry out immunization and deworming regularly to ensure the health and production efficiency of the sows.

5. Reasonable delivery management

In sow group farming, farrowing is an important part. Preparations for farrowing should be made in advance, such as setting up a farrowing area, controlling the farrowing time, and providing a clean farrowing environment, to ensure the safety of sows and the health of piglets.

6. Have regular health checks

Carry out regular health checks on sows, including monitoring of weight, body temperature, appetite and other indicators, to detect and deal with any illness in a timely manner.

7. Strengthen staff training

Sow group rearing requires experienced and professional management personnel to ensure the correct implementation of feeding management and disease prevention and control measures. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen employee training and improve employees' pig farming skills and management level.

Conclusion

Sow group rearing is an effective way to improve breeding efficiency, but attention should be paid to the reasonable planning of the pig farm environment, scientific feeding plan, reasonable group structure and strict disease prevention and control measures. Through the introduction of this article, I hope it can help farmers better manage sow group rearing.
