How to make pigs grow fast in summer

Summer is a season that many pig farmers do not like, during this period, various diseases are extremely easy to occur, pig food intake will also change, growth seems to be inhibited, resulting in economic damage to farmers. In fact, summer is a good time for pigs to grow fat, the following pro-agricultural network to teach you how to grasp this period of time.

1. Ventilation and cooling

Summer pigs do not eat is mostly caused by high temperature, we will control the temperature of pigs to eat more, and summer pigs are digested very quickly. The most basic method is to choose a place where there is no need for direct shooting for too long, of course, it can also be cooled artificially. Vents are indispensable, and an isolation layer can also be set at the top of the pigsty to provide a buffer zone for the temperature at the top. Or open more windows inside the pigsty, and then use spray precipitation to use water vapor to cool down. Anyway, there is only one principle, as long as the temperature can be lowered.

2. Change of feeding mode.

The feeding mode in summer should be different from other time periods, and the feeding time in summer should be completed in the period of lower temperature, which is recommended from 8 to 6. If the pigsty temperature is low, it can be fed a little bit, otherwise it will not be fed, and the pig food must be cold. The number of each pigsty should be reduced to a certain extent to avoid the thermal reaction of pigs caused by excessive density. It is almost enough for a pigsty of 2 to 3 meters to keep 3-4 pigs for a long time.

3. Adjust the feed

The feed fed in summer should also be changed appropriately, and the feed should be converted to green feed, supplemented by dry feed. Varieties such as sweet potatoes that are good for summer heat can be fed more appropriately. In addition to cooked feed, you can also put some raw sweet potatoes and fresh forage in the pigsty, such as convenient for hungry pigs to eat, colleagues can also improve the appetite of pigs. In order to ensure the protein needed for pig growth, it is best to add some soybeans to the food, which can speed up the growth of pigs.

4. Add a sink

A sink can be added to the pigsty in summer, which will help the pig to lower its body temperature, thus promoting the eating efficiency of the pig and making it fatter. And this tank can also speed up the digestion of pigs, promote the peristalsis of their intestines and stomach, and reduce some incidence rates. The water in the sink can not be kept for too long, the water in summer is easy to deteriorate, and if the water is cold, it is better to be similar to the temperature of the well in summer. Do not choose some water from ponds or rivers, which will increase the incidence of disease in pigs.

Summer is also a good season for pigs to gain fat, we can not only see its bad side, we can use the above way to make a change, so that their pigs soar in the summer. If you want to know more about pig farming, you can follow our website!
