How to reduce Feed cost in Pig raising

The rising feed price also means the increase of feed cost, and saving feed has become a new way to make a profit, especially the large amount of feed in large-scale farms, but also to think about how to save feed. The following is to introduce some ways to save feed costs. I hope it will be helpful to you.

I. skillful selection

Large-scale pig raising must choose "three-yuan" hybrid piglets, with waist length, front chest width, short mouth, plump rear buttocks, stout limbs, competing for food, Landrace and Yorkshire pigs are the best, which can reach 90 kilograms in about 160 days and shorten the fattening period by 20 to 50 days.

Second, separate captivity

Piglets should be raised in circles after 60 days of age, with 2 or 3 pigs in each ring, so as not to consume energy when playing outdoors.

III. Early castration

The 30-day-old boar and 40-day-old sows were castrated, gaining about 15% more weight than the habitual 60-day-old castration, and the wound healed faster.

Fourth, keep your stomach healthy

The piglets were dewormed for the first time at the age of 60 days, and then dewormed every 2-3 months. According to the body weight of pigs, they were fed with anti-peristaltic or parasite 15 mg / kg body weight, once mixed to remove parasites. If there are pig lice, you can use 10 grams of salt, 10 milliliters of kerosene and 20 milliliters of warm water to kill insects on the body surface of pigs. At the same time of deworming, each pig was dissolved in 5 kg of water with 1 kg of quicklime and fed with the clear liquid twice a day for gastric lavage for 2-3 days to remove all kinds of pests. A week later, one tablet of rhubarb soda (no more than 15 tablets at most) was used according to the pig's body weight, and the mixture was fed to strengthen the stomach three times. In this way, each pig can gain 10 to 15 kilograms and shorten the fattening period by 25 to 40 days.

5. Raising in stages

During the empty pregnancy stage and the first 80 days of pregnancy, sows can be fed mainly with green fodder, high-quality roughage and dregs, with only about 1 kg of concentrate per day. Two to three kilograms of concentrate were fed daily one month before delivery. In this way, not only the normal development of the fetus is ensured, but also 60kg of concentrate feed can be saved for each pregnant sow.

VI. Early mating

The weaning of 60-day-old piglets was advanced to 40-45 days, which could promote early estrus and early breeding of sows, shorten the empty period and relatively save feed.

VII. Prevention of epidemic diseases

Injecting "triple vaccine" into live pigs every spring and autumn can effectively control classical swine fever, swine erysipelas and porcine lung disease, reduce mortality and relatively reduce feed consumption.
