How to spend the summer of free-range pig farming

Pay attention to hygiene: in summer, the pigsty has high temperature and humidity, strong smell, more mosquitoes and flies, and is easy to breed bacteria, so it is necessary to actively sterilize the pigsty. Isolated breeding: if there are a large number of scattered pigs, they should be separated from each other to avoid bad heat dissipation caused by too dense pigs. Cooling: build some awnings or shade places to shade pigs, and sprinkle some water on the ground at noon to cool down. Feed more water: always prepare clean drinking water and scientifically match the feed formula.

Animals usually have thick subcutaneous fat, which is not conducive to heat dissipation, while free-range pigs are usually spent in cooling in summer. During this period, it is necessary to pay attention to the sanitary environment, so that free-range pigs will not get sick, and the density of free-range breeding should not be too high, otherwise it will cause poor air circulation and it is easy to get sick. The last one is water, which is essential for free-range raising of pigs in summer.

1. Free-range pigs need good hygiene in summer.

The pigsty in summer is a hot and humid environment with a heavy smell, and there are usually more mosquitoes and flies, which can easily breed bacteria, bring health problems to free-range pigs, and bring health problems to people at the same time, so it is necessary to disinfect and sterilize pigs at this time, so one of the most common things to do in free-range pigs in summer is disinfection.

2. Free-range pigs need to be raised separately in summer

If the density of free breeding is too high, which is not good for the heat dissipation of pigs, it may cause breathing problems of pigs, and it may also cause heatstroke or other pathological changes, so if the number of free-range pigs is relatively large, it can be properly separated and raised, and the density should not be too high.

3. Free-range pigs need to cool down in summer

Summer is a hot weather, if free-range pigs do not have a suitable shade site, it is very easy to get sunburn and heatstroke, so you can build some awnings or shade sites at this time. You can also plant some plants around to give free-range pigs a place to shade. When the temperature is hotter at noon, you can sprinkle some water on the ground to cool down.

4. Free-range pigs need more water in summer.

Usually when you want to raise pigs in summer, you will have a loss of appetite. At this time, you need to change some feed formulations, such as increasing the ratio of concentrate feeding, which can be matched with more feed containing vitamins and minerals to provide the nutrition needed by pigs. Avoid the stage of high temperature when feeding, you can choose to feed when the temperature is not high, such as early morning or evening, and you need to prepare clean drinking water at any time. One is to play the role of heat dissipation, and the other is to let pigs drink to regulate body temperature.
