Scientific feeding and management methods of live pigs in winter

As soon as the temperature changes violently in winter, cold prevention measures must be taken in the farm, especially it has a great impact on the production of live pigs. during this period, if there is no best management of live pigs, it is likely to cause huge losses. then for the winter feeding and management editor summed up some practical information to share with you, to help you better raise pigs in winter, let's take a look!

I. strengthening the prevention and control of diseases and epidemics

In winter, farmers will take precautions against the cold, such as turning on the heating to make the pig house warmer, but at the same time, it is easy to cause some diseases, such as in such a hot and moderately high place. It is the most likely to cause respiratory diseases and gastrointestinal diseases. For the control of winter respiratory disease syndrome, these pathogens can be eliminated by some means. For gastrointestinal diseases, we can use medicinal charcoal for antidiarrheal and other auxiliary treatment, but also appropriate consumption of antibiotic drugs to prevent and cure, high temperature and humidity will also cause skin diseases of some pigs, we should do a good job of skin surface disinfection.

2. Protection against cold and warmth in pig houses

This is the work that must be done well in winter. first of all, we should start with the doors and windows of the pig house, repair all the damage to the doors and windows, avoid some ventilated holes or some cracks and leaks into the pig house, check whether the equipment and equipment in all the pig houses are damaged, and whether the thermal insulation equipment and water supply equipment are working properly are all what we should do. Besides the ordinary pig house, the key point is to keep warm in the delivery room. The delivery room should be covered with pig beds, use infrared insulation lights or turn on heating to raise the room temperature.

III. Strengthen feeding and management

1. Properly increase the nutritional intake of pigs.

Because of the cold climate in winter, the higher the calorie of the corresponding pigs stimulated by low temperature, the more energy will be consumed at the same time, so we need to improve the energy level of feed. can add some high-calorie food and feed mixed feed, can add 10% corn and 2% vegetable oil to the feed, and can add some anti-stress vitamins and amino acids and other substances. Increase the amount of daily feeding to make it more capable, because winter nights grow longer, and in order to avoid pigs being fasting for too long at night, we can choose the right time to feed again in the middle of the night.

2. Reduce the intake of raw and cold food

Do not feed raw and cold food in winter, it is best to feed dry powder, or use warm water for heating, so as to make the pig's intestines and stomach healthier. If feeding raw and cold feed, it is very irritating to the pig's intestines and stomach, and is prone to gastrointestinal diseases.

3. Strengthen indoor management

While keeping the room warm, we should also regularly open the doors and windows for ventilation to avoid ammonia poisoning and various respiratory diseases in the piggery, and try to choose good weather for ventilation.

The above is the scientific method of raising and managing pigs in winter. Have you learned it? At the same time, we can also play a role in preventing cold and keeping warm by increasing the feeding density of pig sheds. The volume proportion of pigs is very large. If we increase the number of live pigs in summer by about 30%, we can increase their breeding density. Pigs can warm each other and increase the overall room temperature of the pig house.
