1. Feeding methods for 1 to 40 days after sow breeding

On the day of sow breeding, Immediately reduce feed intake and switch to pregnant sow feed (14% crude protein). Feeding amount: 1.6-1.8 kg per day. During the gestation period, the nutrients obtained by the sow are always preferentially supplied to the fetus, and the embryonic development at this stage requires very little energy and does not require excessive energy.

Especially in the sows 3 days and 8-25 days after mating, the feed energy is too high, which will lead to the death of fertilized eggs, increase the empty pregnancy rate, and increase the number of litter. reduce. In order to improve the success rate of implantation of fertilized eggs, it is recommended to use the following mixes: dam Taibao + Multivitamin, which can adjust the nutritional metabolism of sows, ensure the physical quality of sows, improve the success rate of breeding, and reduce the occurrence of stillbirths, deformed fetuses, and weak babies. .

Note: During the gestation period of 35-90 days, for over-fat or overly thin sows, the amount of feed should be adjusted appropriately so that the pregnant sows are in good condition before farrowing. In the second 70-90 days of sow pregnancy, excessive feed energy will lead to poor mammary gland development and decreased postpartum lactation performance. In order to ensure the nutrient supply without overdoing it, we only need to mix the ingredients: sow Taibao + Multivitamin, to adjust the growth function of the sow, improve the body reserve, restore the body condition, and carry out fetus protection and abortion.
