How to Care for Orphan Piglets

In this video we show you the care we are providing to our orphan Berkshire piglets.
About Sweet Briar Farm
We are a small farm located in Central/Northern Michigan. We farm every inch of our 6 acres. We breed Registered Dairy Goats, Dexter Cattle, and Heritage Hogs. Clean healthy food is important to us and we like to produce the majority of our food on the farm and we grow and raise enough to sell to local customers. Producing our own food also means we forage for wild edibles such as mushrooms and tap our maple trees in the spring to make maple syrup. In 2019 we added honeybees to the farm and have had as many as 30 active hives producing honey for us.
Our goats include Nubian goats, Mini Nubians, Fainting Goats, and Nigerian Dwarf goats.
Our Heritage Hogs include: registered Berkshires, Tamworth, Kune Kune, and Hereford.

Pig mom died ,,,what to do with 5 piglets

[@christian4ever672]

How did they fare? Did you have a lot of trouble with sicknesses?

[@SweetBriarFarmMichigan]

Only one survived. The other 2 lived a few days and then died. The survivor is actually going to the butcher in a week.

[@SweetBriarFarmMichigan]

But he stayed healthy never got sick.

[@christian4ever672]

Aww.. sorry to hear you lost some. We had a sow that was determined to savage her litter this year no matter what we tried. She remained great with us but would lunge and try to attack any baby that came near. They all got little to no colustrum, so we had to use a colustrum replacer and then milk replacer. They have most or all of them been sick every other week. We are trying hard to wean them now at 6 weeks. But so far, 7 of the 8 are still alive and gaining.

@@christian4ever672 we had some goat colostrum we gave them. I can’t remember if we mentioned that or not. The few Berkshire’s we just weaned from a recent farrowing 2 have been sick. We are done with Berkshire’s.
