How can piglet survival rates be improved? Early colostrum intake and teat fixation are key

To improve piglet survival rates. First is early colostrum intake. The composition of colostrum meets the nutritional needs of piglets' rapid growth. The immunoglobulins (immune antibodies) contained in colostrum can enhance piglets' disease resistance; piglets must be fed colostrum within 2 hours after birth to strengthen their disease resistance. Second is artificially fixing the teats. To make all piglets in the litter grow evenly and robustly, within 2 days after birth, manual assistance should be given so that the piglets suckle from fixed teats. Third is preventing piglets from being crushed. The most effective way to prevent piglets from being crushed is to set up a piglet warming box or a piglet protection pen.
