How to induce piglets to go to the trough?

Teaching piglets is the key step to raise pigs and improve weaning weight of suckling pigs. However, in the early stage of raising piglets, many inexperienced breeders often encounter the problem that piglets don't eat open feed, which makes many breeders feel headache. Especially novice farmers, don't know how to raise them.

Piglets grow and develop very fast during lactation. With the growth of piglets' age, the feed intake of piglets has greatly increased, and the milk of sows can no longer meet the nutritional needs of piglets. If piglets are not fed in time, their growth and development will be slow. Only by guiding piglets into the trough and feeding them as early as possible can we meet the nutritional needs of piglets and promote their rapid growth. According to people who have been raising pigs for many years, nutritional bricks made of yellow mud and carbon powder are placed in columns to let piglets lick freely, which induces piglets to arrive at the trough early and replenish feed early.

Piglets usually start teaching with textbooks from the seventh day of feeding. Piglets are usually curious about new things. Don't put the parachute too far. In this way, the pig will run to the trough to observe, smell the fragrance and eat less in his mouth. Piglets like sweets, so we can put some sweets, such as fruit. You can also make the opening material into paste and apply it to the sow's nipple, so that the piglets can get in touch with the teaching trough material when feeding. The weaning weight of piglets determines their weight at slaughter. ?

Piglets begin to teether 7- 10 days after birth. At this time, pigs are very active and like to bite walls and bricks. Therefore, making a nutritional brick and letting piglets lick it freely can help piglets grind their teeth and train their chewing and foraging abilities. In order to adjust the pig's food, you can also sprinkle some fried sweet rice noodles on the ground to let the pigs eat freely. You can also add some Chinese cabbage, pumpkin and sweet potato to attract piglets to eat. Add less food first, then more, and increase it day by day. At the same time, it is necessary to remove the residual leaves and feed in time to prevent dysentery.
