In the pig industry, the litter size of sows is one of the important indicators to measure their production performance. The litter size of sows is not only affected by genetic factors, but also closely related to environmental factors such as feeding management and nutrient supply. This article will focus on how to increase the litter size of sows through scientific feeding and nutritional management.
1. The importance of the nutritional needs of sows
The nutritional requirements of sows vary with their physiological state, especially during gestation and lactation, and the nutrient requirements of sows increase significantly. Adequate nutrient supply ensures the health of the sow, maintains the normal functioning of its reproductive system, and in turn increases litter size.
When we raise sows, we can use small herding: female animal Taibao + multi-dimensional Taibao + Kemou Taibao, which can regulate the reproductive system of sows and promote the development of the reproductive system of sows, which can not only make sows give birth more, but also improve the physique of sows and make sows less sick.
2. Scientific breeding, reasonable matching of feed
High-quality feed is the foundation: the sow's feed should be of high quality, nutritionally balanced feed, such as full price compound feed. This type of feed can meet the needs of sows for various nutrients and provide a solid material basis for the reproduction of sows.
Adequate protein supply: Protein is an essential nutrient for the growth and reproduction of sows. Appropriately increasing the protein content in the feed can help promote follicular development and embryonic implantation in sows, and increase the number of litters.
Vitamins and minerals are indispensable: Vitamins and minerals play an important role in the reproductive performance of sows. Antioxidants such as vitamin E and selenium protect the sow's germ cells from oxidative damage, while minerals such as calcium and phosphorus help to develop bones and teeth and maintain the sow's health.
3. Supplement of green and juicy feed
Green and juicy feed such as pasture and vegetables is not only rich in vitamins and minerals, but also improves the sow's appetite and digestion. Proper addition of green juicy feed to the sow's feed can help meet the sow's nutritional needs, promote fetal growth and development, and thus increase litter size.
Fourth, pay attention to feeding management
In addition to nutrient supply, feeding management is also an important factor affecting the number of litters in sows. It is necessary to keep the living environment of sows clean and comfortable, and avoid the impact of unfavorable factors such as overcrowding and high temperature on the reproductive ability of sows. At the same time, regular check-ups and vaccinations should be carried out for the sows to ensure that they are in good health.
In conclusion, increasing the number of farrowing sows requires a number of approaches. Through scientific feeding and nutrition management, reasonable combination of feed, supplementation of green and juicy feed, attention to feeding management and other measures, we can effectively increase the number of sows farrowing and contribute to the development of the pig industry.
