Care At Farrowing
May Save Yon
Heavy Piglet Loss
Heavy baby peg basses in the
critical first hours after farrow-
ing army mean the difference
between proftut and loss to the
commercial: swine producer.
This, ];ass can, for the most
part, Ibe 'overcome says Dr. H.
T. Frcdeen of the Lacombe
Experimental Faxm, by confining
the sow in a stall or crate during
and inirnedfiaterly after farrowing.
This prevents nervous or clumsy
sows from crushing 'the little, pigs.
Farrowing straps have certain
advantages over crates.
They, axe simple and cheap to
build and require a minimum out-
lay of labour and materials. Bolt-
ed construction permits raipid .dis-
mantling for storage when farrow-
ing 'has been completed. The pen
area may be used for other purp-
oses afterwards.
Sows should not 'be confined in
the stall too keg before farrowing,
since the lack of normal exercise
may be detrimental. If possible
she should enter the stall the day
before her ]!cuter is due or, if the
due date is ueknasrn, when signs
of preparing to farrow are evidemit.
Cut straw or shavings may be
used for bedding.
Ample, water and a light lax-
ative feed s'holld be provided.
After farrowring,
litter should be left in the stall
for 'tiwla 'or .three days. The sow
will settle down and the pries will
become sufficiently active that up-
on removal from the shale crush-
ing should be minimized.
Detailed information an the core
stlructicn and use •af earrawaing
stalls can be obtained ned by writing

Faun•, Lacomlbe, Aima.
