Practical Five-Feeding Methods for Sows During Lactation
① Feeding sows feed fermented with yeast has a good milk-promoting effect. ② Feed green fodder that stimulates lactation, such as sugar beet roots and their leaves, raw potatoes, etc. ③ Wash the sow's afterbirth clean, then boil it into soup and feed it to the sow. ④ Take 40 grams of cowherb seed (Vaccaria hispanica), 30 grams each of akebia stem (Akebia quinata), safflower (Carthamus tinctorius), and common burreed tuber (Sparganium stoloniferum), 50 grams of medicated leaven (Massa Medicata Fermentata), and 20 grams of red peony root (Paeonia lactiflora), mix them, add water, and decoct into a liquid; give 1 dose per day, divided into 2 feedings, for 2 to 3 consecutive days. ⑤ In the early stage of lactation, boil small fish and small shrimp into soup, mix it into the feed, and feed it to the sow; this can significantly increase milk yield, with results seen by the 2nd day.
