Matters needing attention in raising pigs in summer

Hot and hot in summer, pigs will encounter a lot of problems, such as thick subcutaneous fat, underdeveloped sweat glands, and it is not easy to cool down through perspiration when they are high in summer, so many pig farmers will encounter slow pig growth and easy to lose fat in summer. And hot and humid environment pigs are also prone to disease and heatstroke, the following pro-agricultural network to bring you summer pig breeding points for attention.

1. Prevent heat and cool down

Before the high temperature in summer, build an Arbor or sunshade wall around the enclosure to cover the shade and prevent direct sunlight, and you can also plant vines around the pigsty so that it can grow and crawl all over the shed or sunshade wall to lower the temperature of the pigsty and reduce thermal radiation. Trim a layer of foam ceiling in the pigsty, which can play the role of thermal insulation. when the noon temperature is the highest, you can achieve the cooling effect by sprinkling water on the pig, the ground or the wall. these methods can have the effect of preventing heat and cooling.

2. Sanitary disinfection

Summer is the peak season for mosquitoes and flies, and in the hot and humid environment, the smell of the pig house is not easy to ask, and it is easy to breed bacteria, which has a bad impact on the sanitary environment of the pig house. Hygiene is poor, the growth of pigs is slow, and it is easy to get sick, which brings difficulties to disease prevention in pig farms, so hygiene is extremely important. It is necessary to regularly clean the environment inside and outside the pig house, as well as feeding utensils, especially dead corners. Many bacterial and microbial cleaning can not be completely eliminated, so it is necessary to carry out disinfection, usually small-scale regular disinfection, but in the column is to be large-scale, thorough disinfection.

3. Pay attention to the culture density.

Breeding density is too high, pig breathing and body surface heat dissipation will make the heat higher and higher, it is easy to cause the possibility of collective heatstroke and disease, so the summer breeding density is very important, to appropriately reduce the breeding density.

4. Feed and drink water

At high temperature, pigs have a poor appetite and a decrease in feed intake, so pay attention to time and methods when feeding, increase the ratio of intensive feeding, and feed rich in vitamins and minerals. Try to avoid the high temperature stage when feeding, you can feed a large amount of food in the morning and evening, and less at noon, so that you can grow rapidly in summer. In addition, drinking water must be adequate, high temperature pigs mainly evaporate heat, adequate and cool drinking water is one of the ways to prevent heat, in addition, you can add an appropriate amount of salt in drinking water, salt can regulate body temperature.

The above are the matters needing attention for raising pigs in summer brought by the pro-agricultural network, and disease protection should be paid attention to in raising pigs in summer. high-temperature sows are easy to get uterine inflammation, mastitis, no milk and other diseases, and piglets are easy to get yellow and white dysentery and coccidiosis, so they should be vaccinated in time and take protective measures.
