How to solve the problem of sows having low milk supply?

Some sows do not produce milk or produce little milk for many days after giving birth, which directly affects the growth of piglets. We have found that sows do not produce enough milk after giving birth, and reasonable measures need to be taken to help sows produce milk. So how do we solve the problem of sows having insufficient milk? Let’s take a look below.

1. Reasons why sows have insufficient milk or no milk

1. Malnutrition: Sows need adequate nutrition during pregnancy and lactation to support fetal growth and milk production. If the sow does not receive enough feed or the feed is of poor quality, it will lead to malnutrition, which will affect milk production.

2. Excessive production pressure: Sows are under great pressure during the production process, which may affect their physiological state, including milk production. If the sow has difficulty giving birth or is overly stressed, she may not produce enough milk.

3. Disease problems: If the sow suffers from diseases such as mastitis and mycotoxin poisoning, it may cause mammary gland inflammation, swelling or blockage, thereby affecting the secretion of milk. You can use Xu Xiaomu: Cefquinome Injection + Houttuynia Cordata Injection, combined with injections, the effect is particularly good!

4. Sow age problem: First-time sows are bred too early, their mammary glands are underdeveloped, or they are too old and their physiological functions are reduced, so they do not secrete milk.

5. If the sow's feed intake decreases before and after delivery, the sow is affected by production stress, improper management during pregnancy leads to poor mammary development, and excessive obesity leads to endocrine disorders, all of these may cause the sow to have insufficient milk.

2. Prevention and treatment measures for low milk volume in sows

1. Provide sows with adequate nutrition: Ensure that the sow's feed contains enough protein, vitamins and minerals to promote milk secretion.

2. Reduce the stress of sows: Providing sows with a comfortable living environment, reducing external interference and stress, will help increase milk secretion.

3. Check the health of the sow: If the sow is sick or has other health problems, timely treatment will help restore milk secretion.

4. Increase lactation stimulation: Promote sow lactation and increase milk secretion through massage and breast stimulation.

5. Feeding and management : Reasonable feeding and management also has a certain impact on the milk secretion of sows. Attention should be paid to the feeding environment and feeding methods of sows.
