PIGLETS NEED YOUR ATTENTION. CARE AND MANAGEMENT OF NEW BORN PIGLETS After birth, the navel of each piglet should be soaked in a cup of iodine solution to prevent inflammation and tetanus. Each piglet should be rubbed carefully, dry with a cloth. Make sure the piglets are able to suck from the udder as soon as possible after birth. If the milk produced by the sow is too little to meet the needs of the piglets or the sow completely neglects the piglets, they should be put on another sow or reared on cow or goat's milk. IRON SUPPLEMENTATION The quantity of iron decreases rapidly in piglets and if not supplemented, the piglets become very pale a few weeks after birth and their growth slows down. TAIL CUTTING Cut the tip of the tail within 4-7 days. This prevents tail chewing, which can lead to infections. A piece of chain can be hung down from the ceiling for the piglets to chew. CREEP FEEDING Creep feeding helps the piglets to get used to feeding at an early age. Young piglets from 7 days onwards should have high protein feed available to them. This has to be fed in a small area where the mother cannot eat the feed. REARING MOTHERLESS PIGLETS Cow's or goat's milk can be given to the piglets. This is after the piglets have taken colostrum. The milk should not be diluted, as sow's milk is very concentrated. It should be warmed up to slightly above body temperature (37° - 40°C) in a pan lowered into a larger pan containing Gradually change over to more solid feed, so that by the age of about three weeks they should be able to take regular feed. There should be a continuous supply of water, which should be boiled to avoid any contamination. WEANING Successful early weaning of pigs requires skill and attention to detail in all areas. Early weaning of piglets at 14-21 days increases sow productivity through the potential increase in the number of litters per sow per year. www.nutrinovaltd.com Shoppers Stop Plaza, Shop No. A/F/44- 0788 130353,
