mothers' Failure in production
for a time behind have problems with the mothers, since the same ones are not successful, because in most of the cases they are not able to raise neither an only pig, and if they make it, because you grieve they end up raising 3 or 4 pigs. This already happened to me with approximately existent 60 sows of 100 o'clock. Not you what then this to make is taking me to the ruin. I already attempted with many things, the truth to what not you is owed. If somebody had a similar experience, don't doubt to help me, and he/she tells me how it left that problem.

Hello, Javier. In first term, greetings. I consider that you have a furry problem, I am also of Cochabamba, and I will try to guide you a little. In first term, you should determine the origin of the problem and to discover their causes that can be:
1. - he will plate it is a tropical climate, and as such, it should be worked with races acclimatized for this effect. Not you with which you are working, but the advisable thing is hybrid Duroc and Landrace of terminal type.
2. - another problem feeding being can, and that the feeding that you give them doesn't cover the minimum requirements of the sow in gestation, and cause the abortion. I should say you that effective feeding is not the same thing that obesity, because it should be tried to maintain more or less to the sows thin, because an increment of fat originates low production of ova and of course low natality.
3. - this is the worst: you should determine if your animals don't have infectious illnesses (Parvo, PRRS or other) that can influence in the gestation. In the case that was a controllable illness, you can carry out preventive vaccinations. But if it was PRRS, I advise you that you replace your facility, since it is very difficult to control it, leaving the farm at least one week in disinfection.
4. - lastly, you should also consider the reproductive capacity of your berracos.
All this -for supposition - with the help of a good veterinarian that advises you. Sometimes, when the foot of breeding is not good, it is preferable to change your animals, otherwise, you will continue dragging the problem. I wait to have helped you. Greetings.

Dear friends: Whenever one has some problem, we leave for difficult or complicated situations. I believe that first it is revisarl or simple until that complicated. I don't understand the word well to raise. Javier, are you speaking of maternity like nursing or in gestation like born pig? This is very extensive to analyze, I will try to make a summary.
If it is in gestation:
-few born. It revises the jealousies 2 times a day. It inseminates or it mounts direct in the moment of the stop reflection.
-time of weaning-service. Days short long zeal, days long short zeal. It analyzes and it establishes the good moment of service.
-illness doesn't believe it, since if they don't present moias neither born dead.
-time in that you move a sow with service. We for not failing move until the 35 days of gestation where you confirms pregnancy.
-if it is insemination, it revises in the operative's work.
In maternity:
-the two more important points are feeding and comfort:
* Comfort: it considers that a sow requests you 18° as good. If it is higher, you should use movement of air with a dropper to the height of the neck. If there neither is not movement of air it serves the dropper.
* Adapted ventilation: it lowers the most possible thing the temperature and it uses a focus in the pigs so that they are comfortable. If they are high floors, it contains the pigs each 4 or 5 hours and he/she takes a bath to the sow. Until he/she dries off, loose them again.
* Feeding: What helps to the production of milk is the food. If you don't have the appropriate consumption to the formula, you won't have results. He/she discovers on what consumption the formula is made. It divides in 3 or 4 times the feeding. The satisfaction is given by levels of insulin or glucose in blood. If you feed and you leave in the trough with food, the sow will constantly rise and they will be eating few that if you measure I don't believe that I/you/he/she arrives at the 5.5 that you/they usually request to feed a day in maternity. The periods of diet will force the female to eat every time that you serve, this with intervals of 6 hours.
If the sow is constipated you/he/she also diminishes her consumption. You should use I feed nursing before the childbirth together with a laxative.
* Illness: metritis-mastitis-agalactea syndrome. This many times he/she comes for the same constipation, but it can also be because they were not able to eliminate everything in the childbirth. We use Lutalyse of laboratories Upjhon 12 hours after the childbirth. An increase is noticed in the flow, but to the third day it disappears. This is that he/she cleans better.
* High mortality in maternity. Each one of the causes revises, since you don't specify it.
If you have more doubts, you can accesar in a private way. Greetings.
