CHAPTER 6 Flashcards
A good sow should come back into heat and be rather for service within _____ after weaning
3 to 7 days
Recite the points that must be given attention to make the dry cell come back into heat in shorter period after weaning
Always keep the cell in good health and body condition
Keep the lactation period not longer than 6 weeks
Do not feed the sow and the day of weaning
Exposed weaned sows to the boar
if the sow does not come into heat 10 to 12 days after weaning hormone injection can be used as a last resort to induce heat occurrence
Old sows of parity 8 and above tend to have longer dry period
Check dry sow for heat occurrence twice a day
Keeps sows a school as possible during summer
Observe the right timing of breeding
Breed only good sows and call bad sows immediately
After weaning it is advisable to let the newly weaned sows roam around in a paddock to provide stress and keep the legs stronger
If it is possible group dry sows in a single pen or paddock
Provide adequate shade during summer months
Arrange housing and feeding facilities to ensure maximum exercise
Intermittent sprays cooling during hot weather makes the living condition more comfortable for sows
Clean And disinfect the sow pen
Procedure for an efficient cleaning and disinfection
Apply the appropriate disinfectant to floor, walls, equipment and upper riches and allowed to dry
Leave the pens vacant for 3 days or more if possible
Successful management of pregnancy sows is the final vital step in mating and reproduction
If manage well sows will farrow as scheduled producing large litters and quickly returning to heat for breeding after weaning
Pregnancy tester is quiet good about_______after mating but they do not substitute for an accurate return check around date 21
4 to 6 weeks
What are the methods of pregnancy diagnosis
Vaginal biopsy
Doppler ultrasonic fetal pulse detector
Ultrasonic machine such as medata or pregtone
Rectal examination
Used to detect both fetal circulation as well as uterine artificial circulation.
Movement of objects such as fetal heart and the pulsation of blood through umbilical vessels or uterine arteries and pregnant cells and guilts
Doppler ultrasonic fetal pulse detector
Has the disadvantages of requiring access to laboratory facilities and of needing costly and time consuming histological techniques
Vaginal biopsy
The cheapest way of pregnancy diagnosis the success of the method to diagnose pregnancy improves as the gestation advances
Rectal examination
This is the more advanced in pregnancy detection.
Medata or pregtone
Pregnancy detection is usually done____ after mating or service
30 days after
Uterine fluid increases rapidly following conception and reaches detectable levels___________after breeding
25 to 30 days after breeding
For some equipment it remains detectable for_____after breeding
80 to 90 days
Heat detection of second heat can be done in_____
36 to 48 days after breeding or mating
What days before farrowing should give dewormer
10 days
For the first mange and lies treatment, what days before farrowing
14 days before farrowing
Second month and lies treatments what days before farrowing should give to the sow
7 days before farrowing
What days before farrowing should increase in feed allowance
30 days before farrowing
In transferring to the farrowing pen, what days before farrowing
7 days or 1 week before farrowing
When to decrease the feed allowance
3 days before farrowing
To kill the eggs of the mange and lies which are on the sows body or skin
First mange and lies treatment 14 days before farrowing
To kill the internal parasites
Deworming 10 days before farrowing
For fetus development and body will reserve for the lactation period
Increase in feed allowance 30 days before farrowing
To avoid constipation and difficulty in farrowing what to do
Decrease the feed allowance 3 days before farrowing
