Late feeding late or late in pregnancy

The best time to introduce sows into late pregnancy feeding depends on several factors, and there's no one-size-fits-all approach. Some farmers start as early as 80 days, while others prefer to wait until after 90 days. To determine the right timing, consider the following two key aspects. First, assess the sow’s body condition. If a sow is overweight, it may be better to delay the feeding schedule slightly to avoid excessive weight gain, which can negatively impact farrowing and milk production. On the other hand, sows that are in moderate or lean condition may benefit from earlier feeding to support fetal growth and maternal health. Second, evaluate the quality of the feed. If you're switching to a higher-energy or more nutrient-dense diet, it's advisable to first transition the feed type before increasing the amount. This helps prevent digestive issues and ensures the sow adapts well to the new ration. In terms of feeding methods, there are differences between large-circle feeding and stall feeding with positioning bars. Large-circle systems allow sows more movement, which can influence their eating behavior and overall comfort. Stall feeding, on the other hand, provides more control over individual intake and monitoring. In my experience, it's generally recommended to begin late pregnancy feeding around day 90 of gestation. At this stage, the sow’s mammary glands have largely completed their development, so additional feeding won’t interfere with their ability to produce milk later. Moreover, after day 90, the fetus grows rapidly, and adequate nutrition during this period is crucial for optimal birth weight and viability. However, if feeding is started too early, some sows may store excess fat, which can lead to complications during farrowing and reduced milk production. Therefore, timing is critical to ensure both the sow’s health and the piglets’ development.

Pediatric Plate

Pediatric series consists of elastic nail,correction plate,pediatric proximal femoral locking plate,LC-DCP locking plate,reconstruction locking plste,T locking plate.

The special manifestations of pediatric fracture

(1) In children, soft tissue is loose, fascia is elastic, swelling after fracture is early, wide range, and often plaque.

(2) Pay attention to subperiosteal fracture, longitudinal percussion pain and local tenderness to consider the possibility of fracture.

(3) Children can be fever, generally below 38 degrees, caused by hematoma absorption.

(4) Identify the ossification center and epiphyseal plate, and add normal side control if necessary.

Characteristics of pediatric fracture repair

(1) The fracture heals quickly, and the younger the age, the faster the healing.

(2) The healing time of fracture is related to fracture site, fracture type, treatment method and individual situation.

(3) Joint stiffness occurred less.

(4) Have a certain shaping ability, the younger the age, the stronger the shaping ability, but the rotation deformity, the angular deformity inconsistent with the joint activity is more difficult to shape itself.

(5) Metaphyseal and shaft fractures due to hyperemia stimulate epiphyseal plate overgrowth, can cause temporary acceleration of limb growth, femur bone.It can overgrow by 0.8-2cm.

Principles of fracture treatment

The first is reduction, fixation, functional exercise. The principle is no longer to damage the epiphysis and epiphysis plate causing growth and development disorders. Manual reduction, plaster fixation, traction. Closed reduction and internal fixation. Open reduction, internal fixation (elastic needles, Kirschner needles, absorbable nails, absorption rods, various steel plates, external fixation brackets, hollow screws, etc.).
