Add garlic to the feed and the pigs are in good health.

Core tip: adding garlic to pig feed can not only enhance immunity, but also improve the environment, enhance pork quality and enhance growth speed. This is the first time I have heard of it. There is such a master in Yongyuan Village, Yongyuan Town, Daowai District, Harbin, Heilongjiang Province. She has gained a lot of experience through nearly 4 years of breeding.

Her name is Ma Haiyan. She is an ordinary professional farmer in Yongyuan Town, Daowai District, but her breeding method is different from that of other farmers.

According to her own introduction, at the beginning, Ma Haiyan was also farmed in the traditional way, and a chance inspired her. Since garlic has the effect of disinfection and immunity enhancement, will it also play a role in breeding? so, according to her knowledge, she mashed garlic and mixed it with a biological bacteria called probiotics in the feed. Specially put into a pig house to carry out the experiment, after a year of observation, she found that the smell of ammonia in the pig house is much smaller, the fattening pigs participating in the experiment are growing well, and the meat quality has changed significantly.

With good experimental results, she popularized this breeding method to her own pig farm. Since 2008, she has added an appropriate amount of garlic and probiotics that contribute to digestion and growth to all feeds. In a year, the number of fattening pigs she raised has increased from 4000 to 5000. Because her fattening pigs are of good meat quality and high quality, the selling price is also higher than that of other farmers. The annual income reached more than 200,000 yuan.

Does this culture method increase the cost of farming? Ma Haiyan said that there was not much snow at the beginning of the year, and various epidemics spread easily. In order to avoid infection, many nearby farms carried out closed farming, and some simply let the breeders eat and live in pig sheds to avoid bringing bacteria in. But in Ma Haiyan's farm, she only did a little simple treatment, and we only put on a coat when we entered the pigsty. She said that the pigs she raised already had a strong resistance, and it was difficult to invade general epidemic diseases.
