Abstract When Sutai sows grow to about 6-7 months old, they can be mated for the first time. Usually at this time their body weight has reached about 70 kg. Sutai sows have an estrous period of about 20 days, and one estrus lasts about 4 days. When new Sutai sows are mated ⟦4 <p class="cintro"><span>Abstract</span>When Sutai sows grow to about 6-7 months old, they can be mated for the first time. Usually at this time their body weight has reached about 70 kg. Sutai sows have an estrous period of about 20 days, and one estrus lasts about 4 days.</p> <p></p> <p>When new Sutai sows are mated, it must not be too early. If Sutai sows that are still in the immature stage are mated, the subsequent litter size may be unsatisfactory. Usually the suitable age for Sutai sows is 6 to 7 months, but some protective work needs to be done in the earlier stage, such as cleaning and disinfection. These steps are essential.</p><p></p><p><strong>At what age can Sutai sows be mated</strong></p><p>The age at which Sutai sows are suitable for first mating is about 6 to 7 months. Usually at this time their body weight is about 70 kg. Sutai sows usually have an estrous cycle of 20.3 days, and the duration is 3.95 days. Getting Sutai sows successfully mated usually takes some effort, and the following matters need attention:</p><p>1. Carry out cleaning and disinfection. Usually, before mating, in order to prevent the sow's uterus from being infected by bacteria, Sutai sows need to be disinfected at this time. Tap water can be used to clean the sow. Usually after cleaning, a disinfectant is used for disinfection. A relatively low-concentration potassium permanganate solution can be used as the disinfectant, and then a towel is used to wipe the sow clean.</p><p></p><p>2. When a Sutai sow is in the standing estrus stage, a boar can be brought over to mate with the sow. This can stimulate the sow and arouse desire. The time is generally limited to half an hour.</p><p>3. If artificial insemination is adopted, it is best to have professional technicians carry it out, because this is a relatively complicated process. Not only must a suitable insemination catheter be selected, but some lubricating oil must also be chosen so as not to make the sow uncomfortable. The catheter needs to be pushed very slowly into the Sutai sow's body, with an angle of 45 degrees upward and advanced 5 cm, and finally injected horizontally. The time is best controlled at about 5 minutes.</p><p></p><p>From the introduction above, do you now understand the mating time for Sutai sows? During the mating period of Sutai sows, it is a very delicate process. Doing it well means profit; if any step goes wrong, it may lead to some losses.</p>
