Several reasons for the slow growth of suckling pigs

After a few days of growth, the piglets have poor growth and are relatively thin. They should find reasons from both sows and piglets. Mainly look at the following aspects.
First, see how much milk. If the milk is enough for the piglets, then the sows have a longer feeding time. The piglets are very quiet when they are sucking and do not fight each other. They can hear the apparent pharynx. When the piglets are full, the pigs Still lying to maintain the original nursing position. If the sows have less milk and the milking time is short, some pigs haven’t eaten yet and the sows have already gotten up. At this time, the pig was also called around the sow and tried to eat milk, but the sow was no longer lying and feeding.
Second, see if sows have mastitis. If the sow has mastitis, the breasts are large and red and swollen, and the sow's feeding request is made, the sow always takes a prone position and refuses to feed the piglet, or just lying down and the piglet just has a baby's milk. Cried up and no longer let the pigs feed.
Third, see if the sow's teats are adequate. If the number of piglets is small and the number of sows has a small amount of teats, the piglets will fight because they compete for teats and will also affect the feeding of sows.
Fourth, if the pigs stay at a high temperature and the sow’s ambient temperature is too low, the piglets will also reduce the number of feedings due to fear of cold, thus affecting the growth of the piglets.
Fifth, see if pigs are healthy and have diarrhea and other diseases.
