Key points of feeding and management of breeding boars

The breeding purpose of breeding boars is to breed, although it is very rare in pig farms, it is an important part of pig farms. The quality of breeding boars is related to the productivity of pig farms. Generally, breeding boars can grow 400-600 sows in a year, and there will be more if artificial insemination is used. So only in order to make it have excellent fecundity, if the productivity of the pig farm, its feeding and management is extremely important, let's take a look.

1. Keep in shape

Breeding boars should always maintain middle and upper-class fat, strong limbs, especially hind limbs, should not be too fat and too fat, otherwise it will affect breeding and lead to failure of sows. Generally, when introducing or breeding boars, the body weight should be about 90kg, and the best age is 6-8 months, so that we can not only observe the sexual desire, but also have sufficient time to breed and inject all kinds of vaccines to ensure the safety of breeding.

2. One-lap feeding

When raising, the breeding boars should be raised in a separate enclosure, if the group breeding is very easy to bite each other, or because of estrus random breeding, resulting in unnecessary losses. At the same time, single-circle breeding also has certain conditions for the enclosure, first of all, there must be enough space, the enclosure area of each breeding boar should be about 8 square meters, and the ground should be flat, and good lighting and ventilation conditions should be provided to ensure its healthy growth.

3. Sanitary environment and epidemic prevention

Attention should be paid to sanitary conditions during breeding, and an environment suitable for breeding boars should be created. The suitable temperature for breeding boars is about 20 degrees and the humidity is about 65 percent. If the temperature of the enclosure is too high, it will not only make it unable to grow normally, but also reduce its sperm motility, affect breeding, humidity is the same, too high can easily lead to disease. Therefore, we should pay great attention in summer, summer is a high-temperature environment, to take measures to cool and humidify, can be sprinkled to increase humidity, reduce the temperature. In addition, the enclosure of breeding boars should be cleaned regularly every day and disinfected regularly to prevent diseases from affecting mating ability. Vaccination should be given in time, and breeding time should be postponed when sick, so as not to affect piglets.

4. Feeding

In order to improve fecundity, it is necessary to improve adequate nutrition. Breeding boars should generally be fed with more intensive feeding, and should not be fed too much each time, otherwise it will easily lead to body shape deformation and difficulties in breeding. Mainly feed legumes, wheat bran and other feed with high protein content, especially before and after mating, pay attention to the supply of nutrition, while in the non-mating stage, you can feed less concentrate, but not all concentrate feeding, pay attention to the reasonable collocation of green feed and minerals.

5. Proper exercise

In order to ensure the success rate of mating, it is necessary to keep the proper amount of exercise, speed up the metabolism and keep the body weight of the breeding boar. It can be driven for an hour a day, or grazed to allow it to move while eating, or it can be driven to move freely in an open place after feeding. The breeding boar that lacks activity has poor breeding effect.

The above are all the main points of boar feeding and management. I hope I can help you. If you want to know more about pig raising, please pay attention to this site.
