Heat preservation method of pig house in winter

Winter is a season that many pig farmers do not want to encounter, because the temperature in winter is very low, and pigs are a kind of animals that are afraid of the cold. Pigs often catch a cold and cough in winter, so heat preservation management has become the most important job for pig farmers in winter. So is there any way to keep the temperature in the pigsty in winter? Today, the editor brought you the heat preservation method of the pigsty, let's take a look at it!

1. Culture density

As we all know, pig breeding needs to control the breeding density, if it is too dense, it will lead to an increase in the temperature of the pig house, which is not conducive to the growth of the pig herd. In fact, this is the saying when the temperature is high in spring and autumn, and many friends still maintain the breeding density of one column of pigs in winter. The temperature of the natural pig house will be too low, making pigs vulnerable to cold. In winter, the breeding density should be appropriately densified. The higher the density, the higher the temperature of the pigsty, and the pigs should be adjusted to different breeding densities according to the growth stage. Make sure that there is no gap after lying down in each pigsty.

2. Add an incubator

The additional incubator is mainly a measure for piglets, because the self-heat preservation ability of piglets is very weak, and piglets are very afraid of cold, the growth temperature of piglets can not be lower than 30 degrees, and in winter, basically no pigsty can keep the temperature within this range. Therefore, in order to ensure the survival rate of piglets, an appropriate amount of incubator should be added in the pigsty. The choice of incubators is also skillful, and there are different kinds of incubators made of wood, glue, thin iron plates and other materials. The degree of freedom of the wood incubator is poor, and the quality of the glue incubator is not good, so it is best to choose the insulator with thin iron plate.

3. Set up the ceiling

The ceiling is a necessary process to build a pig house, the ceiling can effectively prevent the temperature drop of the pig house, and can play a very good role in heat preservation for the pig house. When building the ceiling, you can use wood and other materials, using wood to build the ceiling is not only low cost, but also an effective material to isolate the air. After building the ceiling, paint the asphalt on it to prevent decay caused by too long time, and then spread a layer of insulation on the ceiling to make the heat preservation effect better. The effect of the ceiling is very good, not only can effectively keep warm, but also can prevent the sun from shining directly on the pig, causing the pig to produce stress reaction.

4. Laying bedding grass

Laying bedding grass can be carried out while increasing culture density, which is an important measure to prevent moisture and increase temperature. And the straw bedding of all kinds of crops can be used for bedding, and the cost is negligible. However, the bedding grass should be replaced regularly, and the replaced bedding grass can be fermented together with pig manure to form farm manure, killing two birds with one stone. The precaution of bedding grass is to prevent the grass from getting wet, replace it regularly and put the grass pad in the lying area of pigs as far as possible to prevent pigs from shitting and urinating on the grass.

The above four are the heat preservation methods of the pig house in winter, in fact, there are many kinds of heat preservation methods, the editor only talked about a few more common and effective methods. The growth of pigs in winter is very slow, so we need to do a good job in management and strengthen heat preservation measures. That's all for today's introduction.
