In the pig industry, the breeding of sows is undoubtedly the most critical part. The health status, growth rate, reproductive performance, etc. of the sow directly affect the economic efficiency of the farm. Therefore, how to raise sows well has become a topic that every farmer needs to study in depth. Today, it is up to Luoyang Hope Biology to create an efficient breeding road for sows through the clever use of feed and additives.
First of all, we need to understand the importance of feed for sows. Sows have different nutritional needs at different stages of growth, so we need to choose feed scientifically according to the weight, age and growth stage of the sow. During the gestation period of the sow, it is particularly important to provide a high-protein, low-fiber feed to ensure adequate nutrition for the sow and to avoid mechanical damage. During lactation, energy and protein intake needs to be increased to meet the needs of the sow to feed its piglets.
However, feed alone does not fully meet the nutritional needs of sows. At this time, the role of feed additives is highlighted. Feed additives can effectively supplement the lack of nutrients in feed, improve the gut health of sows, improve immunity and reproductive performance. For example, as a common feed additive, probiotics can effectively inhibit the harmful flora in the intestine and improve the digestibility and utilization rate of feed. In addition, there are additives such as minerals and vitamins that can improve the performance of sows to a certain extent.
Of course, for sows to perform at their best, feed and additives alone are not enough. We also need to focus on the day-to-day management of sows. Keeping the house clean and hygienic, providing the right temperature and humidity environment, and reducing stress factors are all key measures to ensure the health and productivity of the sows. For example, during the hot season, we need to take cooling measures to prevent heat stress in sows; In the cold season, it is necessary to strengthen the insulation to ensure that the sow can maintain a normal body temperature.
In addition, we need to keep a close eye on the health of the sows. Once the sow is found to have symptoms such as loss of appetite and listlessness, it is necessary to take timely measures to carry out **. At the same time, regular vaccination and deworming of sows is essential.
In short, sow farming is not a simple matter. It requires us to consider comprehensively and pay attention to details, from feed selection, additive use to daily management, to be scientific and reasonable. Only in this way can we keep our sows healthy and happy and bring us more benefits.
In this era of increasingly fierce competition in the pig industry, only by continuously improving their breeding level can they be invincible. It is hoped that the majority of farmers can pay attention to the problem of sow breeding, and continue to learn new knowledge and new technologies, contribute to their own breeding career, and contribute to the development of the pig industry.
