Feeding methods and feeding times for piglets and middle-aged pigs

The feeding methods of piglets and middle pigs should take into account weight gain, feed utilization and carcass fatness. free feeding or unlimited feeding should be taken before the body weight is 60 kg. The diet should be restricted properly after the body weight is 60 kg, or the feeding amount should be properly controlled per meal, or the dietary energy concentration should be reduced without limited feeding.

The feeding times of piglets and medium pigs should be scientific. It should be mastered according to the age and diet composition of pigs. In the piglet stage, the gastrointestinal volume is small, the digestive ability is poor, and the relative feed requirement is more, so it is appropriate to feed 3 to 4 times a day. In the stage of middle and large pigs, the gastrointestinal volume was enlarged and the digestive ability was enhanced, which could reduce the times of feed.
