The advantages of using a sow farrowing bed

2022-05-24

I am the public servant of Baby Pig, a pig farmer who has been raising pigs for more than 20 years. Today I will explain the 10th lesson to you. In recent years, with the rising price of pigs, most pig farmers have paid more and more attention to the use of pig raising equipment, and inventions and creations of sow farrowing rooms and farrowing beds have also emerged. From the perspective of cost-effectiveness, the geothermal delivery room is far less effective than the movable delivery bed with a leaking manure board built with steel pipes. Nowadays, many large, medium and small pig farmers have begun to use this kind of farrowing bed, which is highly mobile, clean and hygienic, and does not press piglets.



Performance 1: Successfully isolate the newly born sows, ensure that the piglets are not crushed, and improve the survival rate of the piglets

 

For small and medium-sized pig farmers like me, in the past, when the sow was feeding the pig, in order to avoid the sow's general weakness caused by the feeding of the pig from pressing the piglet, they often took turns with the family to take care of the sow every time. breastfeeding and standing. On weekdays, it's fine during the day, but at night it's really sleepy, and you can only notice it when the piglet is squeezing when you hear the sound, and then rush over to help push the sow away. Now with this kind of farrowing bed, the sow has no worries of crushing the piglets after giving birth. On the one hand, it frees up the care of pig farmers, on the other hand, it improves the survival rate of piglets, greatly saves manpower, and Improve economic efficiency

 

Performance 2: Self-contained heat preservation and heating device to provide protection for the health of 10-day-old piglets



Due to the built-in heat preservation device, the internal temperature is most suitable for the piglets to sleep and rest, which is more attractive to the piglets than the belly temperature of the piglets close to the sow. Therefore, many piglets directly enter the heat preservation room after eating milk, completely getting rid of the dependence on the sow. , which also effectively avoids the danger of being crushed by the sow to a certain extent. Especially in winter, its effect is more obvious, preventing piglets from getting cold and reducing the occurrence of dysentery.

 

Performance 3: Keep the pigsty clean and hygienic, the manure leakage board will leak most feces and urine, prevent the accumulation of living things and the reproduction of bacteria, and reduce piglet diseases



The use of the leaking manure board, to a certain extent, alleviates the difficulty of handling manure and urine in the lactating sow pen for small and medium-sized pig farmers in rural areas. Because the sows who have just finished feeding piglets are eager to protect their children, it is generally not easy for human beings to deal with it. approach them. However, this often results in that the feces and urine cannot be processed in time, resulting in the growth of a large number of harmful bacteria. The most obvious point is piglet diarrhea. The use of dungboards just effectively solves this problem.

 

Performance 4: Give the piglets sufficient activity area, and the sows are convenient to feed and drink



After the piglets are born, in addition to the need for feeding and temperature, a reasonable movement range is also required. Therefore, when the farrowing bed is designed, it will leave enough movement range for the piglets to help the healthy growth of the piglets. Although the size of the birth bed design varies slightly from place to place, most of them are still enough! A complete birthing bed has the following functions. I have marked them out for you. The ones you want to buy are easy to buy in the local pig farm equipment factory. Farmers in rural areas can buy 2 if they have less than 10 sows. Enough! For the feeding and drinking of the sows, we can directly put feed or soup through the trough on one side. For drinking water, just lead to the water pipe and connect to the pressure valve on the side.
