Skillful use of green fodder for raising pigs in summer and autumn

In late summer and early autumn, there is abundant rain, grass and vegetables grow well, variety is complete, quantity is large, it is a good feed for feeding livestock. Due to more rain, green feed is often moldy due to excessive harvest, poor storage and modulation, which often leads to nutrient loss and feed waste. Therefore, it is necessary to master the utilization method of green feed.

Raw vegetables and grass? As long as it is clean and silt-free, it can be fed raw to livestock. If mixed with much sediment, must be washed after grinding or beating feed. Long grass and whole vegetables can also be fed directly, but they must not be fed on the ground, so as not to be polluted by feces or trampled by mud hoofs and cause feed waste. Feeding green feed, it is best to collect and feed now, so as not to cause livestock poisoning caused by decay. However, green feed may cause parasitic diseases in livestock, so livestock fed green feed should be treated regularly. Some green feed such as thorn with steel hair, palatability is poor, will affect livestock intake, should not be raw feed.

cooked hello? Boiling green feed with water is a common method of feeding pigs in rural areas. The advantage is that it can kill parasites or eggs attached to green feed, and it is suitable for blending with concentrated feed. The palatability is good, but most of the nutrients have been lost. Therefore, green feed is generally not recommended cooked feed. Cooked feeding method is only applicable to beans, bean curd residue, pumpkin, potatoes or hairy vegetables. Cooked beans can destroy feed anti-trypsin and other harmful substances, can improve the palatability of pumpkin, potato and undesirable substances. Cook with fire, stir frequently, do not cover the lid, it is best to add vinegar to promote the volatilization of harmful substances. To cook now feed, do not feed overnight food, so as not to cause nitrite poisoning.

Fermented Hello? Fermented green feed is an effective way to improve palatability and nutritional value of feed for livestock. Generally, weeds, wild vegetables, leaves, vegetable leaves and stems are washed and chopped, put into a pool or jar, compacted layer by layer, filled to 80% full, covered with straw curtains, pressed with stones, and filled with water after the green feed sinks, so that the feed is isolated from the air. After continuing fermentation for one day, it can be taken out and fed to pigs. If mixed with bran fermentation, the effect is better, both to remove odor, but also to increase palatability, but can not survive for a long time. When the feed becomes sour, it can be washed with water and fed again. If it is too sour, it cannot be fed to pregnant sows to prevent abortion.

Blisters. Hello? Suitable for some livestock do not like to eat feed, such as strange taste or tannin-containing poplar, willow, hazel, apricot, tussah and other leaves, soaked in water, can remove astringency and other strange taste, livestock love to eat.

Silage feed? Grass, vegetables, leaves, etc. can be silaged for a long time. If 0.5%~1% urea can be added to silage, the protein content required by cattle and sheep can be improved. After silage, green fodder can make grass soft, improve silage quality, with acid flavor, can enhance the appetite of cattle and sheep, improve their intake, green fodder nutrients are not easy to be destroyed. Note that pregnant animals should not be fed more, so as to avoid abortion; single feeding nutrition is incomplete, should be fed with other feeds, so that nutrition balance; silage do not mix rotten grass, rotten vegetables, so as not to cause poisoning.

Dry Hello? The grass harvested before seed is dried or dried, which is the best forage for livestock to eat in winter. High quality hay can replace concentrate feed, and the nutritional value of 2 kg hay is equivalent to 1 kg concentrate feed. Drying grass is the easiest way to preserve it. Spread the cut fresh grass thinly on the ground, and turn it 1~2 times a day with the seed, after 1~2 days, it can be dried, dry with the stack, prevent rain and moisture, in order to ensure good hay with grass fragrance, but also can dry the grass into grass powder feeding.
