Feeding skills for newborn piglets

Piglets have a natural preference for sweet and crunchy foods. When introducing solid feed to 7- to 10-day-old piglets, it's important to choose palatable and easily digestible options. For instance, you can cut sweet pumpkins and carrots into small pieces or spray fried grains like wheat, rice, peas, corn, soybeans, and sorghum with a sugar or saccharin solution. Then, mix them with a layer of compound feed. Offer this mixture between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., when piglets are most active, and allow them to eat freely. Another effective method is feeding with loess (clay). At around 7 to 10 days old, piglets begin to develop teeth and may show a tendency to chew on soil or dig. To encourage them to eat, sprinkle fried granular feed onto fresh red clay. This allows the pigs to dig and eat simultaneously, making the feeding process more engaging. Piglets also tend to imitate and compete for food. By grouping those that have already learned to eat with those that haven’t, you can leverage their social behavior to encourage feeding. This peer influence often helps new piglets adapt more quickly to solid food. Using metal plates or iron sheets as feeding tools can also be beneficial. Piglets are naturally attracted to metal surfaces, so placing their feed on these materials can stimulate their interest and encourage them to eat. Piglets have a short attention span and can become bored easily. Therefore, it's best to feed them in smaller quantities more frequently rather than large portions at once. This not only keeps them interested but also reduces feed waste and promotes better digestion. Lastly, separating the sow from the piglets during feeding time can help ensure that the piglets get enough food. Feed the piglets first, then allow the sow to eat, with intervals of 1 to 2 hours. This method prevents the sow from consuming the piglets’ food and ensures proper nutrition for the young animals. By implementing these feeding strategies, farmers can improve the health, growth, and overall well-being of their piglets.

Outdoor Garden Light

Outdoor Garden Light is typically used to illuminate areas such as gardens, lawns, pathways, and courtyards. They can be pole-mounted, wall-mounted, or ground-mounted and typically use LED or other energy-efficient bulbs to provide efficient lighting. Outdoor Garden Lights can also be equipped with sensors to automatically turn on or off when detecting people or animals, saving energy and increasing safety. Additionally, they can have different designs and colors to meet various outdoor design needs.
