Piggy's tail needs to consume feed in the process of growth. As long as pigs wag their tails when they are idle, they also need to consume energy, which will seriously waste feed over time. It is easy to bite the tail when it swings.
When suckling pigs are born, the immune system is blank, so the body's disease resistance must be obtained from the colostrum of sows. Therefore, it is very important for suckling pigs to consume enough colostrum within 6 hours after birth, which is a necessary prerequisite to determine the disease resistance of piglets. It is necessary to cut teeth and tails after newborn piglets are born 12-24 hours to reduce the infection and occurrence of diseases such as streptococcus caused by operating wounds.
Obviously, before suckling pigs acquire disease resistance, the wounds caused by these operations are very dangerous and easy to cause infection. Therefore, after the suckling pig is born, the first important thing is to let it eat colostrum and eat colostrum well. After 12-24 hours, the suckling pig is basically resistant to diseases, and then the teeth and tails are cut to reduce wound infection and diseases caused by surgery.
