Maternal care and farrowing piglets
Sows are pregnant as well. Sows are conceived for approximately 114 days. Approximately one week before calving time, the sows are transferred from the gestational envelope to a clean farrowing bag. It is well ventilated and dripping water helps to keep cool. There are staff who have experience in providing care and assistance in close birth. Ready to help in helping to give birth in a timely manner. To reduce the loss that will occur to the mother and piglets.
the birthing process
Sows near farrowing will show a variety of symptoms. including being anxious, restless, showing nest-building behavior swab muscle The belly and tail contracted. Respiratory rate increases from the normal 25-30 breaths per minute to more than 80 breaths per minute approximately 5-6 hours before delivery occurs, the respiratory rate decreases to normal. During the calving period, the sow’s udder is enlarged.
There may be milk dripping from the nipple. Milk density and quality may vary from sow to sow. Milk discharge is usually found 6-8 hours before calving. Many sows may experience a bloody and grayish liquid from their genitals, a symptom indicating that farrowing takes place within 30 minutes. It comes from the uterine muscles compressing forcefully causing the placental membrane to tear.
A sow’s tail rotation is a sign that the piglet is moving through the birth canal. which may have the head or tail out first The average farrowing interval for each sow is approximately 15 minutes, but most sows deliver about 2-4 first litters in 10-20 minutes, before resting for 60-90 minutes, and then straining again by no birth problems But if the second half of the birth is delayed Often there is a problem of stillbirth.
The time required for farrowing from first piglet to completion is approximately 2.5 hours if the sow is able to give birth on its own. The care worker is only obliged to observe the farrowing and assist the farrowing piglets due to excessive interference with farrowing. The sow secretes adrenaline which inhibits the release of oxytocin, prolonging the farrowing process. A delivery that lasts more than 5 hours should be diagnosed as a problem.
When I started experiencing problems with childbirth Sow showing signs of strain coupled with water and poo for more than 15 minutes, but no farrowing piglets were found. therefore consider giving birth Start by trying to get the sow to stand up and move to allow the womb to move. because there is a chance of not giving birth As the uterus folds across the farrowing channel, wait approximately 10 minutes. If the sow continues to show signs of strain but no piglets emerge, consider assisting in farrowing. Considering cleanliness and gentleness, to check for blockages in the reproductive system that may be due to farrowing piglets or the piglet is large or more than one piglet enters the weaver at the same time.
When the piglets that interfere with farrowing have been taken out The next one usually gives birth on its own, but if the piglet is not found, do not search for it. Consider using oxytocin with caution. It is injected into the neck muscle and may be repeated in 15-20 minutes if necessary.
Uterine contractions and can lengthen the farrowing process, resulting in the death of the piglet. or may stimulate the natural secretion of oxytocin By releasing the farrowing piglets into the sow’s milk as soon as possible for the suckling of the piglets. stimulate the sow to secrete oxytocin As a result, the uterus contracts and gives birth naturally. Helps to reduce the occurrence of a placenta (usually excreted within 4 hours after farrowing) and is harmless to the sow.
Postpartum care
Before giving birth, we take care of the mother only. because the child in the womb has a mother’s body to take care of But after giving birth, the baby came out of the mother’s body. We need to take proper care of our children in order for them to survive.
Postnatal care of sows should include antibiotics to reduce the risk of infection. oxytocin and antipyretic pain relievers and reduce inflammation should be considered on a case by case basis It doesn’t have to be routine for all sows. Take care of the cleanliness of the maternity so that it is not dirty and wet. This can cause the infection to go back into the uterus where the cervix is not closed properly. Encourage sows to recover as quickly as possible There is plenty of water and feed for the sows to feed the sows to keep their bodies healthy from the energy burden. To create enough milk for piglets like mothers after giving birth You must eat quality food to get the full nutrients, do not lose weight or diet and drink a lot of water.
Caring for the baby after birth from the mother’s womb Your doctor will suck the fluid and mucus out of your nose, mouth, and airways. tie and cut the umbilical cord dry yourself Initial health check in the delivery room Give it to the mother so that the baby can suck up a small amount of the mother’s breast before placing the baby in the thermos. for a thorough physical examination and to bring the baby back to receive colostrum from the mother as soon as possible
Likewise, piglets, when they are born, need baby-like care. Suck on mucus that interferes with breathing, cut the umbilical cord, and dry yourself. Because piglets are still unable to maintain their body temperature well. Piglets should be fed colostrum as soon as possible to provide them with energy. and immunity transmitted through milk Due to the low energy reserves in piglets and because the placenta of piglets is thick,
it consists of 6 cell layers. Large molecules (immunoglobulins) cannot be transported through the placenta. Therefore, piglets need only colostrum immunity, which decreases in colostrum immunity inversely proportional to the increased postnatal period. Piglets should be fully fed colostrum as soon as possible, preferably the first 6 hours after birth. This is because the cells of the intestines can absorb the most immunity.
The first day of giving birth in addition to managing the delivery and the piglets have been fed colostrum. A good litter box should be dry, clean, warm, windproof and adequate space for all piglets. The farm should turn on the reed light so that the inside of the reed box is warm. The temperature is around 33-35C before the first piglet is born.
After the birthing process is complete The sow will give birth to the placenta. Once the piglets have been wiped dry and taken to full colostrum (start to sleep or gout), then the piglets are trained into the brood carton. and continuous training for 2-3 consecutive days, which will allow the piglets to know and can go to sleep in the reed box by himself
second day after giving birth Allow the piglets to fully suckle the sow without any disturbance. This is because the ability to absorb immunity in the colostrum of the piglet’s gastrointestinal tract is exhausted within 24-36 hours after birth, after which activities can be started. with piglets according to the appropriate program of each farm for example
age, activity
3 days, teeth grinding, tail cutting, iron injection, anti-coagulant
7 days, a number, an episode
10 days, start feeding spoiled food
14 days PRRS vaccination
21 days: Vaccinate with mycoplasma. and swine cholera
28 days weaned
Common problems after childbirth
dry milk sow This poses a direct problem with the loss of piglets due to the lack of nutrients and energy from the sow’s milk. and indirectly from the fact that the piglets are easily infected because the newborn piglets lack immunity. because they are not immune from colostrum low weaning weight Weak piglets are crushed by their mother. These problems do not end only in the maternity coop. Piglets with low immunity from insufficient colostrum were also found to be the same group as pigs with convulsions in the nursery.
Dry milk problems may occur in conjunction with mastitis. and/or endometritis When the sow is infected with the bacteria causing the problem. The toxins produced by bacteria inhibit the prolactin and oxytocin hormones that are produced to regulate milk production and secretion.
When both hormones are suppressed, the milk production process does not occur. Sows may be infected with both the environment through the nipple holes. Wounds on the breast, vulva, or may be caused by abnormally large amounts of bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract and producing toxins that affect the breast.
Mastitis when cured by inflammation, efficacy. Milk production, the efficiency of milk production is often reduced. Therefore, treatment is only to reduce the severity of the problem. Emphasis should be placed on preventing the occurrence or minimizing the problem. The best prevention is to pay attention to the handling of the farrowing sow. not to get stress including keeping the vagina clean and the sow’s butt area not to be dirty
Dry milk sows are caused by infection. Some manipulations can be induced, for example: too fat sow There is mycotoxin contamination in the food. low fiber diet including hot weather
Managing sows and piglets seems complicated. But it’s not too difficult for those who care about pigs. As mentioned in the beginning, caring for pigs is no different from caring for humans. If we take care of pigs as if taking care of family members, success in raising pigs will definitely not be beyond our capabilities.
