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.

CARING FOR OUR PIGS
(TEMPERATURE REGULATION)

Pigs are very sensitive to any changes in ambient temperature. They can neither withstand draught or heavy rainfall. They are not a friend of intense sunlight because it makes their skin dry out.

Temperate must be considered when building a house of pigs. The house should be constructed in such a way that temperatures in the day are low and the animals are kept warm in night or during cool periods.

A healthy adult pig should have a body temperature that ranges between 38oC and 39oC. The normal body temperature of piglets is between 39-40oC. Anything above 40oC is a sign of illness.

When the body temperature of a pig is high, they consume less feed or food and this affects growth and reproductive performances. Because pigs generally lack a sweat gland, they can’t sweat in order to cool their body. Therefore, a pig farmer should ensure the temperature in the pig house is below 35oC.

The following are the ideal temperatures for pigs (of different ages) for optimum feed conversion and growth.
• 1 day old piglets — 35°C
• 1 day-1week old piglets — 30°C
• 1-6 weeks old piglets — 24-30°C
• Pigs from 20-60kg — 20-26°C
• Pigs from 60-90 kg — 18-22°C
• Adult Pigs 18-22°C
