Breeding Prospect of Xiang Pig

Xiang Pig, also known as Mini Pig, is most famous for Congjiang Xiang Pig, Jianbai Xiang Pig and Guangxi Bama Xiang Pig from southeastern Guizhou Province awarded by the national agricultural department. Because the cost of fragrant pig breeding is low and the price is high, and the market price has risen in the past two years, fragrant pig farming has become a good project for the breeding industry to get rich, and the prospect of fragrant pig farming is very promising.

Breeding Prospect of Xiang Pig

1. Green food: in recent years, meat veterinary drug residues and clenbuterol have become a major problem in food safety. People pay more attention to the green food of meat, while scented pork has high protein, low energy and comprehensive nutrition. rich in essential amino acids and trace elements, it is very in line with the concept of modern life, so it is favored by consumers.

2. Pet rookie: through the extraction of Bama Xiang Pig, it can be bred into a family pet. It can also be trained and trained as customs animals.

3. Medicinal value: Xiang pigs without hybridization have stable genes and breeds and good disease resistance, which lays a foundation for medical use. The placenta and skin of Xiang pig were used to develop anti-aging placenta, medical cotton, facial mask and so on. It is understood that it is possible to use fragrant pig blood to produce human blood and even carry out organ transplants in the future. when these technologies are mature, the value of fragrant pigs will be increased dozens of times.

Breeding benefit of Xiang Pig

1. Roughage tolerance: Xiang pigs are mainly stocked and often eat green fodder such as weeds and fragrant rice, so that suckling pork has a special fragrance. Each reserve sow (2-4 months old) consumes an average of 0.2 kg of concentrate feed and 1 kg of green feed per day. Pregnant and lactating sows consume an average of 0.4 kg of concentrate feed, 2 kg of green feed and less feed per day.

2. Strong adaptability: Xiang pigs have strong adaptability to climate and rarely get sick, but Xiang pigs are timid and scared, so they are easy to escape, so they require higher pig pens, quiet environment when raising, and larger playgrounds.

3. Easy to manage: Xiang pig has early sexual maturity, tolerance to inbreeding and stable heredity. The boar weighed 8kg at the age of 2 months, and crawling behavior occurred at the age of 2 months, and mating was carried out at the age of 3 months. Sows are in estrus at the age of 3 months and can be mated at the age of 4 months, with an average of 7 litters per litter. The male-female ratio should be 1:8 (10).

4. Slow growth: Xiang pigs have the characteristics of rapid growth and fat on the side in the early stage, with a birth weight of 0.3kg to 0.5kg, an average weight of about 5kg per head after 60 days of weaning, and only 15,38kg of adult pigs. Generally raising suckling pigs at the age of 5 to 7 weeks is the most suitable for slaughtering.

Matters needing attention in breeding

1. Pig breed selection: during introduction, the appearance, growth and development, lineage and genetic defects of pig breeds should be strictly investigated, the breed characteristics should be obvious, the reproductive function should be exuberant, and the pig pedigree card should be brought back for preservation and reference.

2. Local environment: the imported Xiang pig must meet the living and consumption level of the local people and the needs of economic development. At the same time, it is necessary to understand the characteristics of breed, climate, feeding management and so on, in order to determine the soil domestication measures after the introduction of Xiang pig, and create the necessary feeding and management conditions, so as to ensure the benefit of Xiang pig breeding.

3. Introduction season: it is best for Xiang pigs to be introduced at the end of spring, after a warm summer, to spend the autumn and winter season with a gradual decrease in temperature, and to do a good job of cold prevention after winter, and gradually adapt to the local natural conditions.

4. The month age of pig breeds: it is better to introduce young pigs about 4 months old or slightly older. Pigs have strong adaptability and are easy to accept the changed external living conditions at the young stage. The pig breeds introduced at the beginning should not be fed by Fen San, but should be concentrated in one or more pig farms, create good conditions for feeding and management, at the same time, make good observation records, do a good job in breeding and breeding, and gradually popularize them after adaptation.

5. Epidemic prevention and disinfection: when introduced from other places, it is necessary to centrally isolate and raise for 1-2 months, strengthen epidemic prevention and disinfection, pay attention to eliminating and preventing the threat of endemic parasitic diseases and infectious diseases, and ensure the safety of pig breeds.
