How to raise pigs in case of flood?

Pig industry can be said to be the most common breeding project in China, pig raising is easy and simple, and the economic value is relatively high, the whole body of pigs are treasures, as long as good management income is still very considerable. Disease prevention can still be controlled when raising pigs, but some natural disasters are beyond our manual control. For example, the recent severe flood in Shouguang has completely ruined the industry of many farmers. It has had a serious impact on the economic interests of farmers, so how to deal with the flood when breeding? Details are as follows:

1. Drainage and drainage

Now in China, many small pig farms and even large pig farms are built on hillsides or in low-lying pastoral areas. The first problem facing such sites is drainage, especially in the case of torrential rain and rising water. For example, the rainstorm in Shouguang this year is comparable to the flood in 1998. As a result, all the pigs were drowned and the water from the pigsty could not be discharged and flowed into the pigsty, resulting in disaster. Therefore, in order to prevent the occurrence of this problem, the gutters around the piggery should be cleaned or deepened in time. Can also raise the threshold of the pig house, if it has been beyond the scope of control, all pigs should be transferred in time to reduce victimization.

2. Prevent feed from mildew

Continuous torrential rain will lead to an instant increase in humidity and a gradual increase in temperature, which is the mold's favorite environment. And the current market price of feed is gradually rising, if we do not do a good job in the prevention and control of feed mildew in time, so that feed mildew, will not only cause problems in pigs, but also cause a lot of waste of resources. Pigs can open as much feed as they need to prevent mold invasion, and try to avoid placing feed in areas such as showers and bathrooms where water is sprinkled indiscriminately. The feed room uses cement and floor tiles, because otherwise, the soil is easy to absorb moisture. You can use bricks, boards and other things that are not easy to absorb moisture, and add some anti-mildew agents appropriately.

3. Killing mosquitoes and flies

Rainstorm weather generally occurs in summer, with the high temperature and humidity environment, sewage is also flowing everywhere, this environment is the most suitable for mosquitoes, toxoplasmosis and other parasites to grow. For example, eperythrozoonosis, circovirus and other diseases are mostly caused by mosquito bites. In order to prevent the breeding of mosquitoes and flies, weeds should be removed around the piggery. Clean the drains regularly, control the hygiene in the pigsty, burn the used medicine bottles, bags and other things together, isolate all mosquito breeding sources, and add an appropriate amount of cypromazine to the feed, which is effective in eliminating mosquito and fly eggs and preventing mosquito breeding.

4. Prevention of stress

High humidity and high temperature environment has a greater stress response to pigs, sows stress phenomenon will cause restlessness, easy to trample or even trample to death piglets, affecting the motherhood of the body, so that piglets lack of milk. For boars, dead sperm will occur if the heat is not dissipated in the hot weather for a long time. Because this hot and humid environment is easy to produce ammonia, ammonia will make pigs restless, destroy the respiratory mucosa of pigs, and easily cause respiratory diseases. Ceiling fans can be used to disperse the air and enhance the permeability of the pigsty, but when using ceiling fans, piglets should be rushed to the incubator to keep warm to prevent catching cold. Clean up the pig house sanitation and pig manure in time to reduce ammonia.

The above are the measures to deal with the flood when raising pigs. Floods are beyond our control. All we can do is to prevent them in advance and move the pigs in time when the rainy season comes. The flood will certainly cause losses to the pigs, we should make sure that the losses of the pigs are reduced as much as possible. Many natural disasters make us suffer a lot of obstacles in the process of breeding. Only by strengthening management can we reduce losses.
