4 KEY STEPS OF DAY ONE PIG CARE BY ZULINKX AGRO & VET SERVICES

ZAVS 4 Key Steps of Day One Pig Care
1. Farrowing Assistance
When a piglet is born, someone needs to assist the sow. Caregivers need to understand what is abnormal, how to identify at-risk sows and why it is important to quickly manage problems during farrowing progression. “Assist farrowing is an important thing we can do to help the piglet to be more robust.”

2. Accessing Colostrum
New piglets need colostrum to get nourishment and to boost their immune systems. Caregivers will need to check teat health of the sows and help piglets access colostrum in a timely fashion. We advise to keep a close eye on individual piglet progress.

3. Administering piglets Enhancer/Booster
As the new piglets arrives, its the duty of caregivers to start the process of faster growth and early finishing on time by the use of approved boosters. This will enable weaning at 4weeks.

3.Warming pigs
New piglets can get cold quickly after birth. It is necessary to dry them off and give them a heat source. If you do not keep the piglet dry and warm, it will spend all its energy in regulating body temperature instead of getting colostrum.
