First, caregivers and relevant personnel must closely monitor the waiting time for sows in labor. It is essential to be present during the entire birthing process to ensure timely assistance if needed. Second, before handling the sow or the piglets, confinement workers should disinfect their arms and all equipment used. Once a piglet is born, it is important to immediately remove the mucus from its mouth and nose using a clean cloth. Then, gently wipe the entire body of the piglet to clear away any remaining mucus, which helps prevent infections and ensures the piglet can breathe properly. Third, if the piglet is born with the placental membrane still attached, it should be carefully removed as soon as possible to allow the piglet to start breathing. If a piglet appears lifeless, quick action is required—gently stimulate it by patting or rubbing, or spray a mild stimulant into its nostrils to encourage breathing. Fourth, after the umbilical cord breaks, the mucus should be cleaned from the piglet, and then the cord should be cut. If the cord is still pulsating, wait until it stops beating before cutting. Squeeze the blood back into the piglet and leave the cord about 3 cm long. Disinfect the area with iodine solution. If the cord bleeds excessively due to natural breakage, apply a sterile ligature immediately to stop the bleeding. Fifth, provide colostrum as soon as possible. Place the piglet in an incubator or a warm area to maintain body temperature. About 30 minutes after birth, assist the piglet in finding and consuming colostrum, which is crucial for building immunity. Sixth, within 12 to 24 hours after birth, trim the teeth using a suitable tool. Remove the upper and lower canine teeth to prevent the piglets from biting each other or the sow’s teats, which can cause injury and stress. Seventh, the tail should be docked within 24 hours of birth. Cut the tail at the root, approximately one-third of the way from the base, using a sterilized pair of forceps. This helps reduce the risk of infection and prevents tail biting among the pigs. By following these steps carefully, the health and well-being of both the sow and her piglets can be significantly improved, ensuring a smoother and safer birthing process.
