To raise pigs well, five major links must be grasped.

The development of @ 227 farmers has strong maneuverability and quick results, and it is a good way for the broad masses of farmers to increase their income and become rich, but in order to achieve good benefits, it is necessary to grasp the following five key links:

One is to seize the opportunity. In the case of continuous market fluctuations in the development of pig farming, we should pay attention to four periods, namely: trough period, development period, peak period and decline period. The trough period in the fluctuation of the pig market is the best time for pig farmers to enter, when the prices of piglets and breeding pigs are low, and the input cost of developing and raising pigs is relatively low; when the pig market gradually comes out of the trough and enters the development period, pig farmers should speed up the expansion of the scale; when the pig market enters the peak, pig farmers should produce pigs as soon as possible in order to obtain the best benefit. When pig production enters the human decline period, pig farmers should focus on compressing the storage column, improving quality, strengthening management and so on, waiting for the opportunity to map for greater development.

The key to the control of several different periods in the development of pig production depends on the accumulation of experience and the understanding of information. Farmers who plan to engage in or are engaged in the pig industry need to observe, understand and accumulate the development of the pig industry at ordinary times. so as to have a more accurate grasp of the current situation, trends and laws of the pig industry.

The second is the appropriate scale. Large-scale pig raising involves capital, technology, land, environmental protection and many other issues, which need to be done step by step and cannot be achieved overnight. In the development of pig production, appropriate scale breeding should be carried out according to one's own actual situation. This is because if the scale of raising pigs by farmers is too small, even when the benefits of raising pigs are good, it will be difficult to achieve obvious benefits by raising one or two pigs; if the scale is too large, when the efficiency of raising pigs is not good, they will not be able to work in vain, or even suffer great losses. Under the current rural economic conditions, the appropriate scale for farmers to raise pigs is about 30, with an investment of about 20,000 yuan. In this way, in a normal year, if 100 heads are produced annually and the benefit of each pig is calculated to be 100 yuan, it can make a profit of 10000 yuan.

Farmers with conditions had better engage in self-breeding, which can reduce the cost of piglets, reduce the incidence of epidemic disease, and significantly improve the efficiency of pig breeding.

Third, the prevention and control of epidemic diseases. In recent years, pig blight showed the characteristics of atypical symptoms, mixed infection and difficult diagnosis, and the drug resistance of the disease increased obviously. The cost of disease prevention and control has become one of the important expenditures, and even become a key factor to determine the benefits of pig farming in some cases. If the pigs raised by farmers get sick, the cost will be less than ten yuan and more than dozens of yuan. Once there is a phenomenon of illness and death, the loss is incalculable. Therefore, pig farmers should change the idea of "emphasizing treatment and neglecting prevention", establish the concept of "giving priority to prevention", and start from the basic aspects of pig farm, pig house design, programmed epidemic prevention, scientific feed formula and so on. To the maximum extent to prevent the occurrence of epidemic diseases. Once the pig epidemic occurs, it is necessary to achieve timely isolation, accurate diagnosis, rational use of drugs, and reduce the loss to a minimum.

The fourth is good seed and good law. Excellent breed is an important factor to obtain the benefit of raising pigs. Compared with ordinary pigs, the price difference of well-bred pigs is about 0.5 yuan per kilogram. If you have a good seed, you have to have a good law. The extensive feeding mode not only limits the production level of improved pigs, but also causes great loss and waste. The breeding of improved pigs should pay attention to scientific feed formula, clean and hygienic enclosure, and daily management is also very important. For example: improved pigs are sensitive to external environmental stimuli, not quiet breeding environment, sudden changes in the environment, feed or rough treatment and other adverse stimuli, are easy to cause stress reactions in pigs, seriously affecting the growth of improved pigs.

Therefore, while developing the production of improved breeds of pigs, farmers should learn the techniques of raising improved breeds of pigs through a variety of ways, so as to match the improved breeds with good methods, and strive to achieve the best benefits of raising pigs.

Fifth, joint production. Small-scale pig farmers can strengthen the exchange of information by establishing pig production and marketing associations and cooperatives, and carry out unified seed supply, unified feed, unified epidemic prevention, and unified sales, so as to connect the small-scale production of thousands of households. to a certain extent, achieve large-scale production, achieve the "win-win" effect of reducing costs, reducing epidemic diseases, raising prices, and increasing benefits.
