Don't be afraid when winter comes. I'll teach you four ways to keep warm in winter!

The temperature in winter is very low, and pigs are also a kind of animals that are afraid of cold. Pigs often catch a cold and cough in winter, so the management of heat preservation in winter has become the most important work for pig farmers. Don't be afraid when winter comes. I'll teach you four ways to keep pigs warm in winter!

1. Control the density of culture

In winter, many farmers still maintain the breeding density of one column of pigs in spring and summer, and the temperature of the natural pig house will be too low, causing pigs to be susceptible to cold. In winter, the breeding density should be appropriately densified, and the higher the density, the higher the temperature of the pig house. The pig will be adjusted to different breeding density according to the growth stage to ensure that there is no gap after lying down in each pigsty.

2. Add an incubator

The main purpose of adding incubators is to protect piglets, because the self-heat preservation ability of piglets is very weak, and the growth temperature of piglets should not be lower than 30 degrees. In order to ensure the survival rate of piglets, an appropriate amount of incubators should be added in the piggery. The choice of incubators is also skillful. There are different kinds of incubators made of wood, glue and thin iron plates, and the degree of freedom of wood incubators is poor. The quality of the glue incubator is not good, so it is best to choose the insulator with thin iron plate.

Third, set up a ceiling

The ceiling is a necessary process for building a pig house. The ceiling can effectively prevent the temperature of the pig house from falling, and can play a very good role of heat preservation for the pig house. When building the ceiling, wood boards and other materials can be used. The cost of setting up the ceiling with wood is not only low. It is also an effective material to isolate the air. After building the ceiling, spread the asphalt on it to prevent it from rotting for too long, and then lay a layer of insulation on it. Make the heat preservation effect better, the role of the ceiling is very good, not only can effectively heat preservation, but also can prevent the sun from shining directly on the pig, resulting in stress reaction in the pig.

Laying bedding grass

Laying bedding grass can be carried out while increasing breeding density, which is an important measure to prevent moisture and increase temperature, and bedding grass can completely use straw bedding of various crops, and the cost is negligible, but bedding grass should be changed regularly. The replaced bedding grass can be fermented together with pig manure to form farm manure and kill two birds with one stone. The attention of bedding grass is to prevent dampness and change it regularly. Put the mat grass on the lying area of the pig as far as possible to prevent the pigs from shitting and peeing on the mat grass.

The above is the introduction of four kinds of heat preservation methods of pig houses in winter. In fact, there are many kinds of heat preservation methods. Just a few common and effective methods have been mentioned above. Pigs grow very slowly in winter and need to take good heat preservation measures.
