Do you know how to supplement iron for piglets and sows?
In the process of pig farming, especially for piglets and sows, reasonable supplementation of iron is an important part to ensure their healthy growth. Iron plays a key role in the growth and development of pigs, so how to scientifically supplement iron has become an issue that pig farmers need to pay attention to. This article will focus on how to reasonably supplement iron to meet the needs of piglets and sows.
1. Iron Supplementation for Piglets
After birth, the iron stored in piglets gradually decreases, so additional iron supplementation is needed to meet their growth and development requirements.
1. Oral Iron Supplements: For piglets, we can supplement iron through oral iron supplements. Oral iron supplements are a common supply method that can meet the iron needs during the growth and development period of piglets.
2. Iron in Feed: We can add iron-rich foods to the piglets' feed, such as iron powder, pig blood powder, etc. Properly formulate the feed to ensure piglets intake enough iron daily.
3. Iron Injection: We can also inject iron dextran within three days after piglets are born, which can quickly and effectively supplement iron.
2. Iron Supplementation for Sows
Sows also need additional iron during pregnancy and lactation to support their own and piglets' growth and development. Therefore, reasonable iron supplementation plays a key role in the health and production of sows.
1. Feed Adjustment: We can adjust the feed formula according to the sow's pregnancy and lactation stages, and add "Duo Wei Tai Bao" from Xumu Animal Husbandry to the feed long-term. It contains various vitamins and trace elements and can effectively increase iron content.
2. Regular Iron Supplementation: During pregnancy and lactation, we can supplement iron through oral iron supplements or iron injections. This helps ensure that sows and piglets get enough iron and prevents anemia and other health problems.
The above are the methods for supplementing iron to piglets and sows. It is recommended to supplement iron for pigs according to this article, which can improve the growth rate, immunity, and overall health of the herd, and also bring better economic benefits to farmers.
