Chapter 5 Postpartum care of sows

The Citroen truck was driving on a dirt road in the countryside, and the two people in the car were chatting with each other.

Looking at the Yellow River smoking leisurely, holding the steering wheel with one hand, Li Yunlong asked curiously:

"Lao Huang, is it difficult to drive, how long will it take for me to learn if I learn?"

Huang He glanced at the curious baby Li Yunlong, and Lao Li was touching around in the car at this time.

"It's not hard to learn how to drive, and I can teach you if you want to. One day's time is to teach and pack the meeting, and then you Li Yunlong can drive this car to send pigs to various troops. ”

Hearing the word pig again, Li Yunlong was still a little foggy.

Coming from a farming background, he certainly knows what a pig represents, and he also knows that it is not easy to raise.

"You don't really want to raise pigs, are you? Raising pigs is not something that can be implemented in a while, and where did you get the pig breed? ”

Seeing Li Yunlong's fuss, Huang He decided to tease him.

"You don't have to worry about the pig breed, I've already taken care of it. This month, thousands of foreign pigs will be transported to our base one after another, and Zhang Wanhe has already chosen a place to settle down. ”

"I'm wondering, isn't the result of the paper punishment at the headquarters, what is written on it is for you to cooperate with the establishment of the logistics department's farm."

Hearing Huang He's words, Li Yunlong was taken aback.

A few thousand pigs is not a number, as long as it is cultivated for a period of time, this farm can even supply the whole army.

But Li Yunlong is still very resistant to raising pigs, and he always thinks that his destination is to die on the battlefield, rather than lying in the rear to be protected by others.

"Hehe, Lao Huang, I'll discuss something with you."

"What does my old man look like when he raises pigs, and when the time comes, what happened to the pigs when they are not raised, how distressed the comrades are."

"Otherwise, if you let me make bullets and grenades, anyway, my old Li will have to learn from scratch, and I can still use it on the battlefield after learning some serious skills."

Huang He glanced at Li Yunlong with disdain, how could he not know this person's ghost thoughts.

Li Yunlong will definitely not stay long in the logistics department, and Grand Master Li, who has never been a thief, will inevitably come to take the sheep by the hand.

Just like in the original book, the factory director didn't work for long, and he used Zhang Wanhe's sympathy to roll away 200 sets of new military uniforms.

If this dogskin plaster is allowed to enter the military factory, there will definitely be dozens of boxes of bullets and grenades inexplicably.

"When you get to the logistics department, you call the division commander or the boss and ask? I can't do anything about this, I'm just a director, and I'm a bare-bones commander. ”

Hearing that Huang He was about to call, Li Yunlong said a little anxiously:

"Alas, no. This made me feel like I didn't obey orders, and I raised pigs, and I was not a farmer's child. ”

After a while, the truck was back in the logistics department, and the soldiers here clearly recognized the car, and they made their way to an area made of newly built sheds.

After getting off the car, Huang He saw that Wang Dexing was already waiting near the factory, and he beckoned and instructed Wang Dexing to gather the pig farmers who had already been arranged.

Half an hour later, everyone was assembled.

Among these people are the staff who originally belonged to the logistics department, and there are also ordinary people from nearby villages.

Standing on a mound of earth that had just been piled up, Huang He said to the crowd:

"Folks, comrades! This time we brought everyone together for three things! Pig! Pig! Or pigs! ”

"There may be fellows who don't know me muttering in their hearts, questioning whether I can raise pigs."

"But I will use my actions to tell everyone that I will not only raise it, but also teach everyone how to raise it better."

As a farmer, you can forget your family's birthday, but you must never forget the due date of the sow.

Because most sows give birth at night, they prefer a quiet environment for fear of being disturbed.

Quieter nights than during the day give sows a sense of security, which is a natural choice over thousands of years of evolution. Therefore, pig farmers often have to work hard overnight to deliver sows.

Newborn piglets need to manually clean their noses and mouths and put them in a warm place.

After all, before birth, piglets rely on the umbilical cord to breathe, and after they come out, they have to breathe through their mouth and nose. If there is mucus in the mouth and nose, there is a chance that you will suffocate to death when you inhale.

After all, sows will give birth to many piglets in one litter, and if they lose one or two because of poor care, it is not worth it.

For these newborn piglets, they may use the method of fake death to escape the pigs, and if they are not handled well, they will become real deaths.

This is a very common situation for farmers, and it is generally dealt with in four ways.

The first method is to lift the hind limbs of the piglets and gently pat them on the chest or buttocks with their hands until they wake them up. The second method is to use the right palm to rhythmically loosen and tighten the heart and chest of the fake pig, and perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

The third method is artificial respiration, which is different, but a bit wasteful.

The last method is to rub the nose of the feigned pig with wine, or blow smoke into the nostrils to stimulate the piglet's breathing. However, wine is a very precious thing, so this method will not be used unless it is absolutely necessary.

Compared with fake dead pigs, the most troublesome problem is definitely the sow's dystocia.

In later generations, you can also take oxytocin when you encounter this situation, but now there is no such thing, so you can only use your hands. This life generally has to be done by lesbians, so I won't write the reasons in detail.

When you reach in and dig out, if the fetal position is very correct, just pull the piglet's ears and pull it out.

If it's upside down, then grab the hooves and pull it out.

The most troublesome thing is that the fetal position is not correct, the fetal orientation is not correct, and the fetal position is not correct.

In this case, you have to manually adjust the position first, and then pull it out. If you encounter a traffic jam with piglets, you have to push one back first and travel at a staggered peak.

When the sow is in labor, it must be kept quiet, and it is strictly forbidden for non-essential staff to watch.

Otherwise, it is easy for sows to eat seeds, especially for first-time sows.

If you think about it, this is the first time people have done this job. Idlers and others have to watch and make the sow very nervous, and when they turn around, they find that they have a bunch of bloody hulacha things, can you not be afraid?

Bran water and motherwort are two things that are fairly common in the base, and they can both help pregnant sows to recuperate.

If all aspects are well prepared, but there is still a situation where the sow bites the cubs, then you are not welcome to go directly to the big competition.

In the process of breeding, it is also necessary to pay attention to the age of the sow, whether it is a young or older sow, it may be paralyzed after giving birth.

Older sows can be killed and eaten if they are paralyzed, but if they are paralyzed, it is a very bad deal.

Because of the particularity of pig milk, this thing is not eaten as much as cow and goat milk.

But in order for piglets to thrive, breast milk is an essential part. At this time, the strong piglets should be placed in the rear area where the milk is not vigorous, and the slightly weaker piglets should be placed in the front and middle.

The mammary glands of the sow can only develop normally after suckling the piglets, but the production capacity of the sow is different every time, and it is inevitable that there will be vacancies.

If these vacant locations are not utilized, it will be difficult to use them again in the future.

So in this case, you should consider letting other piglets come to support, it's really not okay for farmers to gnaw on their own!

Supplement nutrition, don't stumble.
