Can I use lime if there are pigs in the pigsty?

Pig farm disinfection is one of the very important work of raising pigs, disinfection with lime is a very simple method, and many farmers will use it, so can pigs in pig pens use lime?

Can any pigs in the pigsty use lime?

Pigs in pig pens cannot be disinfected with lime. Pigs will lick feed dropped on quicklime and eat quicklime into their mouths, which will burn the mouth and digestive tract. When throwing quicklime in the pigsty and during pig activities, a large amount of lime powder will be raised. After inhalation, pigs are easy to cause respiratory tract disease.

Second, how to use lime disinfection?

1. Quicklime itself does not have disinfection function, only quicklime and water mixed together, adding water to produce calcium hydroxide commonly known as hydrated lime, has a strong alkaline, has a good disinfection effect. Therefore, in the use of quicklime for disinfection, must not directly sprinkle quicklime in the pigsty, this is ineffective.

First of all, spray an appropriate amount of water on the floor of the piggery, and then spread quicklime evenly on every corner of the pigsty and react with water to form calcium hydroxide, which can kill a variety of bacteria and viruses.

two。 In the empty pigsty, clean up the walls and floor first. Prepare 20% lime milk with fresh quicklime and water, paint the walls or floors of the piggery, especially the corners and cracks, so that there are no dead corners. This can not only disinfect and sterilize, but also beautify the environment. The disinfection time is scheduled to be carried out before the pigsty is newly put into use. The old cottage is used after the removal of feces and pigs.

3. Quicklime is very prone to chemical reactions, so it needs to be used up in a short time after purchase, otherwise it will lose its original effect. If quicklime has failed to agglomerate, you might as well use it in a dark, damp place as a desiccant. This can effectively prevent the pigsty from affecting the normal growth of pigs due to excessive moisture. If the cement floor, should not be directly sprinkled on the ground.

Matters needing attention

1. If the lime contains impurities, it may cause explosion and combustion during the elimination process.

two。 Quicklime will disinfect only when it is exposed to water, but it will not be disinfected if it is directly spread on the dry ground.

3. Quicklime must be used now. If it is placed for too long, it will deteriorate and lose its germicidal effect.

4. A clean-up of the disinfection site should be carried out before disinfection with quicklime. The cleaned-up garbage should be piled up and disinfected with 20% lime milk to prevent the spread of germ-carrying garbage.
