Sows are a vital part of livestock farming, particularly for those who raise breeding pigs. The survival rate of piglets is closely tied to the proper management and care provided during the farrowing process. For farmers, especially those operating on a larger scale, it's essential to maintain a proactive mindset and implement correct production methods to prevent losses due to preventable causes such as neglect or improper techniques. Below are some key practices to ensure a smooth and successful farrowing process.
First, prenatal preparation is crucial. Farmers should calculate the expected due date based on the sow’s gestation period, which typically lasts around 114 days. The farrowing area must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before the sow gives birth. Provide clean bedding, and have all necessary tools ready—such as sacks, towels, scissors, disinfectant, iodine, and cotton wool. Since many sows give birth at night, it's important to arrange for someone to monitor the sow during the night to ensure timely assistance.
During the birthing process, sows usually 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. It's important to observe the sow closely and be ready to assist if needed.
When a piglet is born, immediately clear its mouth and nostrils of mucus to prevent suffocation. Use soft hay or a towel to dry the piglet, then carefully cut the umbilical cord about 4 to 5 cm from the abdomen. Squeeze the cord toward the piglet’s body to reduce bleeding before cutting. Apply 5% iodine to the cut end to prevent infection. Place the piglet in a warm, clean nesting box to help it stay comfortable and healthy.
In cases of dystocia—when the sow is unable to deliver the piglets on her own—immediate action is required. If the sow shows signs of distress, such as rapid breathing or an increased heart rate, it may indicate a difficult birth. Administer oxytocin at a dose of 1 ml per 100 kg of body weight via intramuscular injection. This often helps stimulate contractions within 20 to 30 minutes. If this doesn't work, surgical intervention may be necessary. This involves cleaning and disinfecting the hands, applying lubricant, and gently inserting the hand into the birth canal to guide the piglet out. Always proceed with caution and patience to avoid causing harm to the sow or piglets.
By following these steps, farmers can significantly improve the chances of a successful farrowing and increase the survival rate of piglets. Proper preparation, attention to detail, and timely intervention are key to ensuring the health and well-being of both sows and their young.

Ketoconazole is an imidazole antifungal drug. Its mechanism of action is to inhibit the biosynthesis of ergosterol in fungal cell membrane, affect the permeability of cell membrane and inhibit its growth.
