Matters needing attention in raising pigs in winter

As winter approaches, pig farmers have something to worry about. Winter is particularly important in terms of wind prevention and temperature control, and the matters to be paid attention to have changed accordingly. Grasping good pig farmers is a good opportunity for fattening, so what aspects should be paid attention to in winter pig farming? Let's find out about it with Xiaobian below.

1. Windbreak

Many pigsty because of the pursuit of ventilation in summer, then winter came in the windproof aspect to work hard to do. We can't underestimate some small tuyere of pigsty, these tuyere very cause pigsty temperature not to go up, serious also can cause pig to catch cold, thus cause a series of diseases. Before the arrival of winter, some of the more hidden vents should be sealed. Some windows with poor sealing performance can also be considered to add some substances such as grass curtains to reduce the harm of cold wind.

2. Heat preservation

The most important thing is insulation, which is most relevant to pigs. In winter, the temperature in the pigsty should basically be kept above 10° C, so that pigs can be fattened normally at such temperatures. Heat preservation pigsty and breeding above the start, general large-scale pigsty will be laid floor heating equipment, floor heating has two kinds of water heating and steam heating, small editor suggested laying water heating, the effect is relatively good. Feeding needs to feed some high-calorie energy feed, feeding food should be hot food, and not too much at a time, lest the food is cold, not conducive to the growth of pigs.

3. Ventilation

Because the pigsty in winter is mostly sealed and farmed, the gas in the pigsty will be relatively difficult to emit, but the feces in the pigsty will produce more gas. For the health of pigs, ventilation must be paid attention to. The vent should not be close to the ground, nor close to the pig, because the temperature of the vent will be relatively low, and the recommended height is about 1-1.5 meters. Staged ventilation was adopted to maintain the temperature of pigsty and achieve the effect of ventilation.

4. Moisture resistance

Although the air in winter is relatively dry, in fact, pigsty should pay attention to moisture prevention. The liquid excreted by pigs is not easy to evaporate, and it is easy to cause the bedding to wet, so that pigs live in a cold environment to block and frostbite pigs. The hot air when feeding food has a high level of water vapor, and the pigsty will have a lot of poor ventilation effect in order to keep warm, which will lead to the overall environment of the pigsty being relatively humid in the long run. Pigs in this environment are extremely susceptible to disease, resulting in a decline in fattening effects. Generally speaking, as long as the bedding of the pigsty is relatively dry, it is not easy to cause diseases.

The above are some of the problems that need to be paid attention to when raising pigs in winter. If the temperature is not easy to maintain, you can build additional heating equipment by yourself. If the air is too humid, put some desiccant in the pigsty.
