Quick remedies for sow constipation worth saving
Sows often become constipated and stop eating after farrowing. The reasons are that farrowing takes too long, the temperature inside the barn is too high, the sow's physical strength declines, and she does not get up to move after giving birth, causing food to accumulate in the abdomen.

  　　Sow constipationQuick remedies:

1. Before farrowing, feed more green vegetables, such as pumpkin, carrots, cabbage, etc.

2. Eight to ten hours after farrowing, feed raw eggs (the first meal) and add anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving drugs.

3. If there is no bowel movement for two days after farrowing, you can use two tubes of glycerine suppositories (for human use), connect them to an IV tube, insert about ten cm into the anus, and inject the glycerine suppositories. (The depth can be adjusted according to the size of the sow; the effect is very good.) In addition, some pig farmers believe you can inject soapy water, which is equally effective.

Some people also share a clever trick: for large fattening pigs, you can mix corn stalk powder into the feed for large pigs. The pigs love it, their intestines stay healthy, and they are less likely to become constipated.
