When should piglets be processed?

Your new litter of pigs should be processed within 24 hours after birth. Processing may include the following steps: weighing, navel cord care, clipping needle teeth, tail docking, iron injections and ear notching.

What is the process of giving birth to piglets?

Farrowing is a natural process and the sow will usually need no help. Once the first piglet is born the others, and the afterbirth, will quickly follow. Farrowing should be completed within 2 to 3 hours. The navel cord will break (you do not need to cut it) and the piglet will immediately search for a teat and milk.

What portion of swine operation is known for raising a pig from birth to weaning?

In a farrow-to-finish operation, 22-26 weeks (starting at birth) are required to grow a pig to slaughter weight. Sows nurse their piglets for an average of 3 weeks before they are weaned (separated from the sow). This is the farrow-to-wean phase of hog production.

What are the 6 steps of processing piglets?

Processing piglets includes clipping teeth, clipping and treating the umbilical cord, iron administration, tail docking, identification, treating splaylegged piglets, providing supplemental nutrients, and castration.

How do you manage your piglet from birth to weaning?

Fostering Management Foster within the first 24 hours. Ensure foster piglets get early colostrum, preferably from their own mother, or if not then from a very recently farrowed foster mother. Give the smaller piglets warm colostrum (sow, artificial or pasteurised bovine) or glucose.
