Sows are animals that have given birth to more than one litter, and the survival rate of their piglets is closely tied to the accuracy of breeding practices. For farmers who raise breeding sows, especially those operating on a larger scale, it's essential to maintain a professional mindset and avoid economic losses caused by preventable piglet deaths due to negligence or improper techniques. To help improve outcomes, the following guidelines on how to properly assist sows during farrowing are provided for your reference.
Before giving birth, it's crucial to prepare thoroughly. Calculate the expected due date and ensure the farrowing area is clean and disinfected. The nesting area should be well-prepared with short bedding material, and all necessary tools—such as sacks, towels, scissors, disinfectant, iodine, and cotton—should be ready. Some sows give birth at night, so it’s important to assign someone to stay awake and monitor the process.
During the birthing process, sows typically lie on their sides. After several strong contractions, the amniotic sac ruptures, releasing blood and amniotic fluid. Piglets are born every 5 to 25 minutes, and the entire process can last between 1 to 4 hours.
When a piglet is born, gently lift it with both hands and immediately clear the mucus from its mouth and nostrils to prevent aspiration. Use soft hay or a dry towel to wipe away the remaining mucus, then carefully cut the umbilical cord. Squeeze the cord towards the piglet’s abdomen to remove excess blood before cutting it about 4–5 cm from the body. Avoid using scissors if possible to minimize bleeding. After cutting, apply 5% iodine to the stump and place the piglet in the nest.
If the sow experiences prolonged labor and shows signs like difficulty breathing or a rapid heartbeat, it may indicate dystocia. In such cases, administer oxytocin at a dose of 1 ml per 100 kg of body weight via intramuscular injection. If no progress is made within 20–30 minutes, surgical intervention may be required. This involves cleaning the hands with soap and antiseptic, applying lubricant, and gently inserting the hand into the birth canal. Once the piglet is located, pull it out slowly while the sow pushes. Always handle the process with care to avoid injury to both the sow and the piglet.

Lactulose, alias 4-O- β- D-galactopyranosyl-d-fructose, C12H22O11, is a disaccharide composed of galactose and fructose, which does not exist in nature. Generally, lactulose is a syrupy product. Lactulose has important physiological and pharmacological functions, and is widely used in clinical medicine, health products and Food Additives. Lactulose is converted into low molecular weight organic acids in the colon by the digestive tract flora, which leads to the decrease of intestinal pH value and increases fecal volume by retaining water. The above effects stimulate the peristalsis of colon, keep the unobstructed stool, relieve constipation, and restore the physiological rhythm of colon.
