The reason why the ground of pigsty does not need to be cemented

Affect the quality of pork: the friction of the cement floor is relatively large, so it will cause the pig's skin to become rough. Affect the physical health of pigs: the cement floor of the pigsty is harder, so the limbs of pigs are more likely to wear out. Affect the growth rate of pigs: pigs in the natural contact with the soil environment is more conducive to growth, mainly because the soil contains a variety of trace elements and minerals. It is easy to cause diarrhea in pigs: the day-to-night temperature difference on the cement floor, as well as the seasonal temperature difference.

First, affect the quality of pork

1. Small and medium-sized pig farms in China generally use cement floor to raise pigs. in fact, pig houses are not suitable to use cement floor. Taking European and American developed countries as an example, cement floor has been gradually abandoned by pig farm operators. Generally, the taste of a pig mainly depends on the skin, rough skin, thick pig, often the taste is not very good.

2. The cement floor is the culprit that causes the pig's skin to be rough. Because the friction of the cement floor is very large, it will cause the pig's skin to become rough. At the same time, when the weather becomes colder, because the specific heat capacity of the cement floor is small, so it will become relatively cold, and the pig's skin will become thicker in order to resist the cold.

Second, affect the physical health of pigs.

1. The impact on the physical health of pigs is relative to free-range pig farming and breeding methods such as fermentation beds, but although the cement floor is not the main cause of pig limb disease, according to the data, pigs on cement floor are more likely to suffer from limb disease.

2. It is mainly because the cement floor of the piggery is relatively hard, so the limbs of pigs are more likely to wear, especially when the grouping of pigs is easy to bite, the impact of the cement floor is more obvious.

Third, affect the growth rate of pigs.

1. Generally excluding the influence of feed factors, pigs are more conducive to growth in the environment of natural contact with soil, mainly because the soil contains a variety of trace elements, as well as minerals, and then pigs are born in the habit of eating soil, so pigs in the land grow faster.

2. Therefore, the cement floor does not have such advantages, if the feed ratio is not more scientific, pigs are more likely to appear the phenomenon of growth retardation, and the resistance is also reduced.

It is easy to cause diarrhea in pigs.

1. Because the specific heat capacity of the cement floor is very small, it leads to the day-night temperature difference of the cement floor, as well as the seasonal temperature difference. If the pig lies directly on the cement floor, it is easy to react to stress because of the change of temperature, or catch a cold and have diarrhea.

2. Especially for piglets with poor resistance, the impact of cement floor is more obvious, so for piglets, it is not recommended to let them come into direct contact with the cement floor, even in summer.
