Within 2 to 3 days after the piglet is born, all piglets are fixed with nipples. Fixing the nipple is the key to the development of a litter of piglets.
The individuals in a herd and the mothers mainly rely on their sense of smell to maintain contact. After the piglets are born, they are looking for nipples. After 3 days, they can fix the nipples and they will not be mistaken under any circumstances. Helping the piglets to fix the nipples is mainly based on natural selection, supplemented by individual adjustments, and different milk yields from different nipples, so that the weak piglets eat three pairs of nipples and the strong piglets eat three pairs of nipples. If a strong piglet eats three pairs, it will eat more and more, causing the overall development to be irregular.
Fixing the nipples allows each piglet to have sucking milk, which is beneficial to the overall development of the breast. If there are no nipples, there will be “advance and retreatâ€. The breasts with suckling suckling will develop well, and the breast without suckling will lose its function.
Some colostrum can be collected, artificially fed to piglets that are weak and unable to suck milk, colostrum is collected in about 60 ml, and can be used once by 3 to 4 piglets (about 15 ml of colostrum is fed once per head) and fed by gastric tubes. Each piglet should be fed with colostrum 3 to 4 times within 24 hours.
