1 Focus in the farrowing stables Pig advisor Inga Riber
2 Who am I? Inga Riber, 37 years old Pig advisor at LandboNord Since October 2008 Educated farmer Studied Animal Science at the University I know the practise and the theory Works with Management in farrowing stables Management about wet feeding of pigs And all the other stuff..
3 Preparation for farrowing Supervision of farrowings Colostrum The environment of the piglets Iron and castration Feeding of sows Cross-fostering Nursing sows Foster sow Erfa meetings
4 Preparation for farrowing 3,3-3,5 FE/sow/day 1-2 days before farrowing: 3,0 FE/sow/day Supply nest material Remove all dirt behind the sows The day before farrowing Adjust the farrowing crate inwards Turn on the heat lamp Flush the piglet s water supply
5 Supervision of farrowings Inspect the sow every hour Note the number of piglets born each time Max. 2 hours between the first 4 piglets and max. 1 hour between the next piglets Help the sow if all piglets in the litter are dry and the sow has not finished yet Help small or weak newborns Examine the health of the sow Mammary glands hard? High temperature? The behaviour of the sow
6 Colostrum Gives the piglets energy and antibodies against diseases Demands for optimum intake of colostrum The piglets come to the teats The piglets get enough time to get milk The sow is healthy and well immunised The piglets obtain immunity on the basis of colostrum from sows in the herd If the larger piglets in a litter are isolated for a while, the smallest piglets are assured of milk
7 The environment of the piglets Check the environment in the creep area in the morning Are the piglets lying together in one layer and fill the area from the back? Is it dry and draught-free? Is there room for all piglets in the creep area? Is the temperature okay? Day 0-4: degrees Day 4-14: degrees From day 14: 30 degrees Look at the piglets They give you the answer!
8 Iron and castration Iron Give iron within the first week Orally or by injecting it into the neck or groin A piglet turns pale in case of iron deficiency and can breathe heavily if more serious deficiency Castration Without anaesthesia within the first 2-7 days Hygiene is essential! Use ear cups or ear plugs Provide pain relief Cut the spermatic cord, don t pull! Always use sharp and clean blades
9 Feeding of sows Feed two or three times a day Feed restrictively the first week of lactation Day 7: 5,5-6,0 FE/sow/day Day 14: Minimum 7,5 FE/sow/day Day 21: Minimum 8,0 FE/sow/day Check the crib 30 minutes after feeding The crib is licked clean => More feed The crib is full => Less feed A bit feed back in the crib => No adjustment
10 A bit feed back in the crib
11 Cross-fostering When enough colostrum is assured Cross-foster to as many piglets as the sow has functional teats piglets pr. sow Primarily move large piglets in excess Move small piglets to second parity sow with small and accessible teats Do not move piglets between litters after day 2 post-farrowing Place piglets older than 2 days with a foster sow
12 Nursing sows When there are too many piglets When these piglets have received colostrum and are viable Is a first or second parity sow Has teats that are available to the piglets Not too fat, not too skinny Healthy sow with a good appetite Has taken good care of its own piglets Is not given more piglets than it has given away Accept the piglets
13 Nursing sow Two-step nurse sow Two-step nurse sow after 4-8 days of Pigs are weaned and lactation moved to a sectioned weaner facility Nursing piglets Newly farrowed sows with large litters 4-8-day-old Interm. Interm. sow piglets Sow with min. 21 days of lactation
14 Foster sow For hungry piglets older than 2 days Use well-functioning sow Healthy sow with good appetite Has taken good care of its own piglets Not too skinny Is not given more piglets than it has given away Accept the piglets Move the piglets in time But only those who starve Do not move sick piglets to the foster sow
