What are the feeding methods in pig farms?

There are many pig farms in China, and after the influence of African classical swine fever in 2018, many farmers have suffered great losses. So in the new year of 2019, many people think that pig prices will rise, so they join the pig industry. So what are the common ways of feeding pigs in pig farms? Let's follow the editor to learn about it.

1. Artificial breeding

In fact, most of the small-scale pig farms are raised in captivity. Because the general small-scale pig farms are family farming, they are raised in a hands-on way, which can greatly reduce the cost of breeding and improve the economic benefits of breeding. And the use of artificial feeding, can be more accurate and intuitive understanding of the growth of pigs, and deal with the problem in time. However, if the scale of breeding is large, using artificial breeding, the cost is relatively high, so it is most suitable for small-scale breeding.

2. Mechanical feeding

From the perspective of labor force, in addition to artificial breeding, there is another kind of mechanical breeding, which is generally used in large pig farms or medium-sized pig farms with abundant funds. Mechanical breeding can greatly reduce labor costs, but also improve work efficiency, so farming can be said to achieve a modern mechanized farming, very convenient, but it is not very perfect. If we use mechanical feeding, we can not find the problems of live pigs in time, if live pigs can not be dealt with in time when an epidemic occurs, the loss caused by this is also relatively large.

3. Dry material feeding

Dry feed feeding is a more traditional feeding method, which is mainly fed with solid feed. Although the solid feed is convenient for storage and transportation, and can also reduce the labor intensity, the utilization rate of this kind of feed is too low, and it is not very healthy and environmentally friendly, so it is easy to cause some common pig diseases. We all know that the cost of feed is also relatively high, so if the utilization rate is low, it means large consumption, and the use of this feeding method will greatly increase the breeding cost and reduce the economic benefits of aquaculture. So this way has been gradually eliminated in many places.

4. Liquid feed feeding

Liquid feed is a way of mixing and feeding feed and water, which ensures the water demand of live pigs at the same time. Generally speaking, the source of liquid feed is also relatively wide, and the health of pigs can be well protected, at the same time, we can also improve the utilization rate of feed, so as to reduce the cost of feed, and finally improve the economic benefits of pigs. And now many advanced pig farms are using this liquid feed feeding method.

The above are several common feeding methods that the editor would like to introduce to you today, among which artificial feeding and dry feed feeding have also been gradually eliminated. I believe that the pig raising model will become more and more advanced. Of course, when choosing the way of feeding, we have to combine our own actual situation, in order to achieve the highest economic benefits.
