Improving pig uniformity is critical for feeding management, health management, culling management, etc., and ultimately reducing feeding costs. Yet again, fostering conditioning pens is key.
1、Know the piglets: Know the number of piglets and their size (big, medium and small) in this unit;
2、Observe sows: observe the ability of sows to carry piglets in this unit and determine the number of effective milk head;
3、Preliminary calculation: make the transfer plan of piglets in this unit after preliminary calculation;
4、Size transfer: transfer large piglets to sows that are first born, with too small or too big teats and wide teat spacing; transfer medium piglets to sows with good milk; transfer small piglets to sows that are healthy and have average milk;
5、Disinfecting with pig: Disinfect with pig after transferring to prevent sows from biting and piglets from fighting fiercely when the difference of piglets' smell is too big;
6、Strengthen pen inspection: you need to strengthen pen inspection on the day of transferring to check whether the piglets are nursing normally and whether the sows are biting the piglets.
This is the time when the shortcomings of domesticated hogs are exposed, as the concrete pens cannot be adjusted for spacing. That is why birthing pens are now necessary.
