Farm for the Future: Nurturing Newborn Piglets
Ensure total herd health and optimal piglet care with expert advice from Conversion Feeds Ltd.Newborn Piglet Care Tips
- Protect Against Cold: Newborn piglets are highly sensitive to cold floors, wet bedding, and temperature changes. Always provide a heating source in cold weather, but keep it out of the sow’s reach.
- Supplement with Iron: Sow milk lacks sufficient iron. Provide iron injections to piglets between 3–7 days to prevent anemia.
- Encourage Immediate Feeding: Ensure piglets suckle a teat immediately after birth for proper nutrition and energy.
- Manage Large Litters: If a sow has more piglets than teats, transfer excess piglets to another sow (if born within a few days of each other) or use a milk replacer.
- Handle Rejection: If a sow rejects her piglets, temporarily remove them and reintroduce them later.
