How can pig equipment in modern pig farms improve the survival rate of suckling pigs?

In the process of raising pigs, the resistance of suckling pigs is poor. The survival rate of suckling pigs can directly affect the breeding efficiency of the whole pig farm. So how to improve the survival rate of suckling pigs?

There is a famous saying "one or two catties at birth, one catty at weaning, and ten catties at slaughter", which has a great guiding effect on improving the survival rate of piglets. It means to emphasize that the heavier and healthier the newborn piglets, the higher the survival rate. Some people have investigated that the weight of newborn pigs is less than 1 kg, so the mortality rate during lactation is as high as 40%, and the mortality rate of pigs weighing 1.3kg~1.5kg is only 5%~8%. Therefore, in order to improve the survival rate of suckling pigs, we have formulated the following three plans:

1. Optimize sow feeding management

Good sow feeding management is one of the main measures to ensure the nutritional needs of suckling piglets, enhance piglet physique, and improve the survival rate of piglets. Sow feeding adopts intelligent feeding and feeding device of small sow electronic feeding station, free movement during pregnancy, healthy sows, high health rate, precise feeding during lactation, increased feeding amount of sows, richer milk, quick weight gain of piglets, body stronger.

2. Strengthen the feeding and management of piglets after birth

The temperature in the farrowing room should be kept above 18°C, otherwise it will affect the lactation, feeding and excretion of piglets. Therefore, the piglet insulation control system can be used for piglets on the farrowing bed in a constant temperature environment to reduce the pressure on piglets and make them grow more vigorously.

3. Do a good job of weaning

The weaning time is generally 21-28 days old, which can be flexibly controlled according to the feeding management level of the breeder, and the weaning method is generally adopted. 2-3 days before weaning, the fence can gradually reduce the chance of contact with the sow, so that the piglets can eat more and eat less. In the nursery stage, piglets adopt smart piglets-smart porridge maker, smart porridge, and precise feeding to reduce gastrointestinal pressure, better digest and absorb piglets, reduce diarrhea, and porridge is dust-free, which is more conducive to piglet respiratory health and less coughing ;Precise feeding, scientific feeding program, not only healthier piglets, but also higher growth efficiency.

Generally speaking, automatic pig raising equipment can almost solve the stress response and imperfect digestive system, and improve the growth efficiency of suckling pigs in all aspects from birth to weaning. Therefore, we should not only pay attention to the survival rate of suckling pigs, but also pay attention to the growth efficiency of suckling pigs.
