1. Don't change the place when the piglets are weaned, the piglets should continue to stay in the place where they were born, and transfer to the group after the transition of the piglets is finished (milk eating becomes feed eating).
2. No mixing, refers to the piglets weaned and divided into nests, try to keep the same litter of piglets stay together, otherwise it will cause fights between the pigs.
3. do not change people, is that after the piglets are weaned do not change feeding, because the pig has recognized the beginning of the feeding of the personnel, once there is an unfamiliar face, it will cause stress to blow up the herd phenomenon.
4. It is forbidden to start castrating piglets as soon as they are weaned, nor to vaccinate them at the same time.
5. Deworming can't start when the piglets are weaned, they need to wait until their appetite returns to normal. And the deworming can't be done only for one day, it should be done for seven consecutive days! This is the only way to completely kill the worms and eggs.
6. Newly weaned piglets have high requirements for temperature. Being detached from the warm embrace of sows, piglets are afraid of cold and easy to get sick. The barn should be kept at a suitable temperature to ensure that the piglets do not bunch up. As the age of piglets grows, the temperature is gradually reduced.
7. When piglets are first weaned, feed them not to full. Feeding a full stomach will most likely cause diarrhea and increase the risk of disease, so feeders follow the rule of less food and more meals when feeding.
8. After the piglets are weaned, some vigilance is needed. Carefully observe the piglets' feeding, drinking, feces, respiration, body temperature, etc. Once problems are found, they need to be treated as early as possible and in a timely manner.
9. Vaccination is very important for piglets. When rearing is on track, piglets must be vaccinated, and vaccines for swine fever, porcine circovirus, pseudorabies, foot-and-mouth disease, etc. are mandatory. Remember not to use too much or a small amount, but follow the scientific instructions. Secondly, there should be an interval between the use of vaccines to avoid affecting the immunity of various vaccines.
10. When weaning piglets, the feed should not be changed immediately. A small amount should be added gradually and daily until complete overload after a week to prevent feed change stress.
11. Purchased piglets can't be vaccinated or fed immediately. It is necessary to ensure that the piglets are adapted to the new environment. The first step needs to be to hydrate the piglets and not feed them enough for seven days to ensure a gradual process. Vaccination should be given when everything is stable.
12. Breeding reserve sows should be purchased from regular breeding farms. They should not be kept in their own farms, so that they can avoid affecting the reproduction and growth of the pigs in the future.
13. Reserve sows should not be fed fattening pig feed, as this will increase the burden on the sow's reproductive system and affect reproduction. Specialized sow feed should be used.
