feeding Problems in pigs
I Need information on the handling of the pigs, mainly how I can feed them when the sows (mothers) they don't want to breastfeed them. How can I prepare a food that allows me to nurture them? Also, what strategies I can use to make that the sows breastfeed them.

it is not easy to solve your problem, but I will attempt: it should be prepared the sow before the childbirth, 15 days before, providing feeds nursing 3 to 3.5 kg a day. Already being in maternity, to feed 2 times a day with the same catidad 3 to 3.5 kg at the day, and 24 hours before the probable date to the childbirth, to remove him the food. To the childbirth, to feed at the 12 hours 1/2 food kg, and to increase every 12 hours 1/2 kg until finishing the 3° day postparto. Of there, to serve 3 to 4 times a day food looking for to have in total 5.5 kg or more. In the hours more fresh, more food, and in the hottest hours, less. To put the pigs to suckle. Only dry them when being born, it ties the navel and place it in a box with source of heat so that he/she finishes drying off. When he/she begins to walk without difficulty (20 to 30 minutes), to put it in the nipple so that it begins their nursing, and to watch over him. We place a hormonal one for cleaning from the sow to the 12 hours postparto (Lutalyse Laboratories Upjohn). I believe that with this he/she can help you to that the sow sustains them. Any formula that you try to give him will cause them problematic diarrheas, for that reason you are devoted to make that the sow suckles.

If they reject them that can be normal in primerizas, one sleeps them if they are aggressive. When finishing the childbirth they already stop to bother. If they don't breastfeed them because the sows don't give milk, there if the thing is more complicated. It can be happening the syndrome M.M.A. that already has to be managed with a therapy of antibiotics. It can also be that the food is of very bad quality. In Pig Industry, the two better foods and of better quality, they should be the preiniciadores and that of nursing, since they are two fundamental phases for the future development of the pig.

you can Also use nurses or mothers substitutes, if a sow doesn't want to breastfeed or he/she doesn't have enough milk. You look for one that has good production and few pigs (or you make a handling there), and you pass that female the pigs of the other one. Already bigger, you can join 2 litters, taking out the separation among cages.
