Why Sows Fail to Conceive After Mating and How to Treat It

Any farmer who has raised sows has probably encountered the situation where a sow does not come into heat, or comes into heat but fails to conceive after mating. This is the most common problem in pig farms. But if this most common problem is not solved, it will inevitably increase the breeding cost of the pig farm. If a sow comes into heat normally and mates normally, it can give birth to at least 2.25 litters a year, which means one sow can bring the pig farm at least 25 piglets. So how do you treat a sow that fails to conceive after mating?

1. Pigs with congenital reproductive organ hypoplasia or deformities should be culled promptly.

2. For those with nutritional deficiencies, increase protein, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients in the daily ration, and strengthen exercise.

3. For overfat sows, reduce weight, reduce feed or increase coarse feed, and feed more green fodder. Adding 3% calcium chloride to the daily ration and feeding it for several consecutive days has a weight-reducing effect.

4. During the treatment process, farmers can appropriately use anti-inflammatory drugs. During the feeding process, control the sow's protein feed and control the sow's body fat. As for the issue of mycotoxins, this involves the health care of the sow. It is best to add a mold remover to all the feed given to the sow, as this can protect the sow's liver and kidneys.

5. Farmers can give the sow products that promote ovulation, thereby increasing the number of ovulations in the sow and avoiding the situation where the sow comes into heat but fails to conceive after mating.
