Piglets generally do not need an incubator after 30 days of birth. If the temperature is not well controlled in winter, the problem of piglets will increase by at least 80%, so sows should keep warm in an incubator when they give birth to piglets in winter. The incubator should be made of bamboo glue board and wooden board with low thermal conductivity to avoid scalding pigs, and the appropriate hanging height of the heat preservation lamp should be adjusted before use.
First, pigs don't need incubators in a few days.
1. In general, the incubator can be used 30 days after the piglet is born, and the weather is too cold when the piglet is born. At this time, the incubator can keep warm. Especially in winter, if the temperature is not well controlled, the problem of piglets will increase by at least 80%, so in winter, sows should keep warm in an incubator after giving birth to piglets.
2. At present, the materials commonly used in incubators are plastic and plastic-steel materials. Some plastics and steel-plastic materials have high thermal conductivity, and the heated incubator wall is easy to burn the piglets, which will hinder the piglets from entering the incubator. Therefore, when selecting the incubator, materials with low thermal conductivity such as bamboo veneer and wood board should be selected.
3. Debug the hanging height of the heat preservation lamp. The hanging height of the insulation lamp should be determined according to the temperature of the pig's activity area, and the back of the pig standing under the insulation lamp should keep a distance of more than 15 cm.
4. Turn on the insulation lamp 50-60 minutes before the sow gives birth, and then put a sack on it to preheat the temperature of the incubator. After a sow gives birth to a piglet, it dries the mucus of the newborn piglet and puts it in an incubator.
Second, what is the reason why pigs suddenly can't stand up on their hind legs?
1, probably caused by mycotoxin poisoning or pseudorabies infection. Choose an elastic and breathable adhesive tape, wrap it around the ankle joint of the everted leg of the piglet and fix it. Be careful not to wrap it too tightly, which is good for blood circulation. Generally, it can be wrapped twice. The distance between the legs should be 5-6 cm, which is convenient for pigs to walk.
2. It is also possible that calcium deficiency leads to poor bone development in the legs and inability to stand up. Piglets can supplement calcium. When taking calcium tablets, choose low-dose calcium tablets and take them orally 2-3 times a day.
3. It is also possible that the piglet has streptococcus suis. Piglets can be injected with vitamin B 1 injection, and the other side can be injected with compound sulfadiazine injection for 3 days.
4. It is necessary to know clearly the reason why the pig's hind legs can't stand up, or ask the veterinarian to check and prescribe the right medicine in time.
