Piglets are like babies born, and care should be taken at every step. Early care is particularly important. Early health care is well done. Little pigs will get less illness and less trouble during the growth process. Now we will share with you the early health care of newborn piglets and weaned piglets.
(a) newborn piglets
1. Freshly born piglets should be wiped dry, remove the mucus from the mouth and nose, and put in a warm, dry incubator.
2. Appropriate ambient temperature: As newborn piglets have thin subcutaneous fat and few coats, they have poor resistance to cold. Therefore, piglets are susceptible to hypoglycemia, colds, pneumonia, and other diseases at low temperatures. The suitable temperature for suckling piglets is: primary birth: 35°C, 1 to 3 days of age: 30 to 32°C, 4 to 7 days of age: 28 to 30°C, 8 to 15 days of age: 25 to 28°C.
3, the piglets can cut teeth and tails within 24 hours after birth.
4. Manually fix the nipples and eat good colostrum: The intestinal mucosa has the ability to absorb immunoglobulins (antibodies) within 24 hours after birth, so the piglets should fix the nipples after birth so that each pig can eat colostrum, so that Piglets develop resistance to disease. The teats and mammary ducts contain large amounts of bacteria, so that the piglet cleans the nipples with a 0.2% potassium permanganate solution and squeezes out the first few drops of nipples before they eat the colostrum. When the whole litter piglets are born, they can be trained to fix the nipples so as to ensure that each piglet can eat colostrum, fix the nipples in the middle of the weak snacks, and eat the principle of two sides strongly, artificially assisting for 2 to 3 days, and then positioning. If there is more production in the same period, the weak piglets can be fed to the well-produced sows after eating the colostrum.
5, inoculated pseudorabies vaccine within 1 day after birth, 0.5 heads/head (intramuscular injection or nasal drops can be).
6, iron supplement: 3 days after birth and 21 days after each intramuscular injection of 200 mg of iron preparations to prevent anemia, while selenium, to prevent the emergence of stiff pigs and edema after weaning, white muscle disease.
7, 3,7,21 days after birth, intramuscular injection of 10% cephalosporin (or demeter first note: not the same day iron), the dose was 0.5, 0.5, 1.0ml, to prevent piglets diarrhea and streptococcus disease And so on, increase the growth rate.
8, early feeding: In order to promote the development of piglets gastrointestinal and reduce the stress of eating after weaning, to ensure the normal growth of piglets, must be timely feeding, at 3 to 5 days of age on the piglets can be induced, methods: dry and clean The wooden board is sprinkled with a little bit of quality, and after 3 to 4 days, when the piglet starts to feed on the milk material, the feed trough can be used to allow it to feed freely. In accordance with the principle of less feeding and feeding, generally should be fed 5 to 6 times a day to prevent waste. Discard the remaining part of the day and use the trough for cleaning and disinfection. Some of the weaker piglets can be fed with milk bottles instead of pigs. At the same time, to provide clean drinking water, the water regularly add multidimensional.
9. Castration: early pig castration can reduce irritation and wound healing. It can be applied within 7-10 days after birth.
10. Improve the energy level of late gestation sows: In the late gestation period, increasing the energy level can increase the colostrum energy concentration of the fetus and increase the energy storage of the fetus in the mother's body to facilitate the survival of the piglet. In particular, the addition of medications to the nursing materials during the week before and after birth can help reduce sow mastitis and improve piglet immunity.
11. The sows will gradually reduce the material in the three days before the expected date of production. The production will not be fed on the day of production, and will gradually increase after birth, and will be freely eaten on the fifth day. Postpartum 24-36 hours intramuscular injection of cloprostenol 175mg/head, is conducive to increase the amount of milk and post-weaning estrus.
12. Do a good job in epidemic prevention, health care and sanitation: 1 According to the status of the local epidemics, do a good job of vaccination. 2 strengthen the feeding and management, carefully care for piglets to prevent freezing, biting, stepping on, pressing, etc. cause piglets to die. 3 do a good job in environmental health, regular disinfection.
(b) Weaned piglets
Weaned piglets are also called nursery piglets. Although their environmental adaptation is significantly higher than that of newborn pigs, they are still far behind adult pigs. Therefore, this period is mainly to control the environment of the pig house and the environment within the herd, reduce stress, and control the disease.
1. When the milk is still fed with the chute material for about one week, the original feeding system must be maintained and the original feed must be kept constant to reduce the stress caused by changes in the environment and feed. Then feed the feed with the juvenile feed and the piglet feed, and gradually reduce the proportion of the chute feed. After 10 to 14 days after weaning, all nursery stocks can be exchanged for use, and then feed freely. As the weaned piglets develop stress after weaning, the content of digestive enzymes and the secretion link are affected and their activity is reduced. In addition, after early weaning, piglets switch from feed to breast milk and the nutritional sources before and after weaning are very different. The difference is large, and the activity of digestive enzymes is insufficient. Therefore, in recent years, it has been advocated that the use of exogenous enzymes in the early weaning piglets strengthens them, thereby improving feed digestibility. In addition, Bao Yi Duo (0.4%) was added one week before and after weaning to regulate the body's internal environment and mobilize nonspecific immunity and specific immune mechanisms.
2. Due to the high density of piglets, piglets like activities, so keep the nursery clean and dry, and sterilize 1 to 2 times a week.
3. Keep the air fresh, do the relationship between ventilation and heat preservation, prevent the occurrence of respiratory diseases, take insulation measures in the winter, and do a good job of preventing heatstroke in the summer. In order to avoid pathogens from entering the pig, pigs should be isolated immediately.
4. At the time of weaning, the sow is transferred back to the empty sow house, and the piglets are still kept in the delivery room for a few days and then transferred to the nursery home so that the psychological stress and mixed stress of the piglets do not occur at the same time. Usually, weanling piglets are cultured in the original litter, and individual weakly disabled piglets can be reared separately.
5, to prevent biting tail, ears and other bad habits. Feeding full-priced feeds with appropriate temperature and humidity may still cause biting each other, which is also a habit of piglets. Put rubber rings, iron chains, bottles, etc. in the sheds and let them play. Disperse your attention or spray odorized disinfectant to reduce the differences in the body taste of the pigs and reduce the phenomenon of mutual biting.
6, do a good job of immunization, deworming work, before entering the pig house with ivermectin - a (fen) Bendazole to drive off the internal and external parasites.
7, piglet prone to weaning failure syndrome after weaning: post-weaning diarrhea, progressive weight loss, abdominal breathing, is the main reason for early weaned piglets growth retardation and high mortality. Addition of antibiotics and elixir (0.4%) can be added to feeds of the piglet before and after weaning, which can significantly reduce the incidence and mortality.
