How to maximize the economic benefit of raising pigs?

The main purpose of raising pigs in pig farms is to make a profit, and its products should be low-cost, high-quality and suitable for market needs. For this reason, in order to improve the economic benefit of raising pigs in pig farms, we should not only make correct management decisions to make products have market competitiveness and smooth marketing, but also adopt advanced science and technology to increase output and reduce costs. at the same time, we should also do a good job in operation and management in production. How can we maximize the economic benefits of pig farming?

1. The operation scale of the family pig farm should be moderate.

The size of the family pig farm is not in direct proportion to the economic benefits at any time. Only when the input scale of the production factors is in line with the operation and management level of the pig farm, and the products are marketable, can the best economic benefits be obtained.

2. Select excellent pig breeds.

The selection of excellent pig breeds is one of the effective measures to improve pig production. Pig breeds should be selected according to local specific conditions, such as feed conditions, market demand for pork and its products, etc., and it is best to choose fast-growing and well-adapted binary or ternary hybrid pigs selected by comparative tests as fattening pigs. in this way, each pig can save 3.0-4.5 kg of feed per day. Make full use of hybrid advantage, choose fast-growing and large breeds, such pigs have strong growth advantage, high feed reward, and sows can be fenced without castration. The crossbred pigs above 30kg were selected as the fattening objects of commercial pigs, both foreign three-way cross and soil three-way cross were available, but the foreign three-way cross was the best. At present, the hybrid sows of Landrace and Yorkshire are often used to mate with Duroc boars in China, so as to obtain the best ternary combination. The selected hybrid pig is sturdy, well-proportioned and thick-boned. Never get sick, weak or disabled pigs, which is the basis to ensure the performance and efficiency of pig production.

3. Improve the utilization rate of feed, feed scientifically and mix feed scientifically.

In order to adapt to their own business scale and improve economic benefits, family pig farms must pay attention to raising pigs scientifically. In addition to selecting improved breeds, they should feed full-price compound feed, carry out scientific management, master timely slaughtering and sale, and improve meat yield. In pig production, the feed cost accounts for more than 70% of the total cost of raising pigs, and the benefit of raising pigs depends to a large extent on how to scientifically select single feed and scientific collocation. Because some pig farmers do not know much about feed, there are some misunderstandings in the selection and purchase of feed, which affect the efficiency of pig farming. First of all, to avoid the misunderstanding of material selection, crude protein, digestive energy and other laboratory indicators can only be used as reference values, the key is to select high-quality and efficient feed through comparison, looking at the ratio of material to meat. When selecting premix or concentrated material, you must match the raw material according to the formula, and do not grasp and put it at will, so as to meet the nutritional needs of pigs. Feed should be used according to different physiological stages of pigs (suckling pigs, piglets, middle pigs, big pigs, boars and sows each have their own feeding standards), otherwise it will result in feed waste or poor growth of pigs. Piglets should pay attention to eating, passing the replenishment level, grasping prosperous food, passing the weaning pass. Piglets must not be overfed to prevent excessive concentrate feed, otherwise it will cause diarrhea and edema disease. Do not suddenly change the material, feed the original material and the new material, gradually reduce the original material, and add the new material, and complete the refueling process after 5-7 days. Pig feed can not be too much crude fiber, properly matched with green feed to prevent feed from being single, so as to avoid undernutrition and insufficiency.

4. Master market information

To carry out diversified economy, family pig farms should do a good job in operation, sell pigs at the right time, reduce costs, grasp market information, open wide doors, carry out diversified economy, give full play to their own advantages, take measures in accordance with local conditions, and carry out sideline around the main industry. Do a good job in the sideline to supplement the main business, reduce the burden of industry and agriculture and other management expenses on the main industry as far as possible, increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and increase economic income.

5. Pay attention to the prevention and treatment of diseases

Prevention first, the word "prevention" is done well, first of all, pigs grow fast, feed reward is high, shorten the time to get out of the fence, reduce labor expenses, and so on; the second is to reduce treatment investment and reduce feeding costs. Although the causes of many kinds of swine diseases are complex, the first cause of death is still infectious diseases, especially classical swine fever, swine erysipelas, porcine lung disease, porcine paratyphoid, colibacillosis and reproductive respiratory syndrome. We should adhere to the principle of "disinfection first, prevention first, and both prevention and control". Pig farms should be disinfected at least once every 7 days, and the corresponding vaccine should be vaccinated according to the surrounding and this epidemic. Once diseased pigs are found, they should be quarantined and treated immediately. While doing a good job in the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, we should also be on guard against chronic consuming diseases, such as parasites, asthma, scabies and so on. For new piglets, it is best to mix insect repellent into the feed within a week. When their body weight reaches 60-70kg, deworming can be done again.

6. Strengthen daily management and scientific feeding

With the above premise, but also have appropriate temperature, humidity, cleanliness, ventilation and other comfortable conditions, pigs can give full play to their performance and improve feed conversion rate. Otherwise, it will cause stress in pigs, lead to the decline of resistance and immunity, increase morbidity and mortality, and cause huge losses. Newborn piglets should pay attention to auxiliary sucking to help them fix their nipples. Generally speaking, weak piglets are placed on the front and middle nipples, while stronger piglets are placed on the posterior nipples. Piglets should be fed as early as possible, and pay attention to "eat less and eat more" to prevent diarrhea. Feed fattening pigs with dry or wet feeding and drink freely after feeding. At the same time, feeding pigs should follow the original principle of "fixed quantity, first coarse and then fine, and well-fed".

As long as the above points are achieved, I believe we can maximize the economic benefits of pig farming for the majority of farmers.
