How to choose and buy pigs that are easy to raise

In recent years, more and more people have returned to their hometown to start a business, and most of them have chosen to develop the breeding industry, and the scale of pig farming in rural areas has been further expanded. We all know that pigs can be said to be very easy to raise, but we should also be very careful when selecting piglets, because good piglets are directly related to the subsequent breeding process and the economic benefits of breeding. So let's take a look at the pig selection method that the editor brought to you today.

1. Purchase base selection

The choice of buying a base is very important. Many farmers do not pay attention to the selection and purchase base of piglets, but if the base is an epidemic area or an area carrying a variety of potential diseases, then the loss is very heavy. First of all, we usually choose the nearest piglet purchase base, which is convenient for us to understand the epidemic situation, and at the same time can reduce the harm caused by stress reaction to piglets. The second is to choose formal businesses with business licenses and health and quarantine certificates, which can effectively protect the quality of piglets. Finally, after comparing the price, choose the final purchase base.

2. Check the fur of piglets

After deciding to buy the base, we need to choose the quality of piglets. First of all, we look at the body fur and weight of piglets, generally speaking, if the skin of piglets is thin, ruddy and clean; the second is to choose piglets with sagging intercostal hair, long waist, no sagging abdomen, relatively full buttocks and wide back, so that piglets can grow big and strong. In addition, the fur is bright and smooth, and piglets had better choose heavy ones, which are fattening and gaining weight, and have better disease resistance.

3. Check the food intake

Food intake is also an important condition to judge whether piglets are good or bad. Generally speaking, the better the appetite of a piglet, the faster its weight gain, so we'd better choose a healthy piglet with a good appetite. Then we can choose through the way of feeding, when feeding, the phenomenon of hunger occurs, which is usually accompanied by shouting, scrambling, swallowing and making a crisp sound when eating. This kind of piglet shows that its appetite is very good, and naturally it is easier to raise. In addition, after feeding, piglets that can drink water and sleep regularly are also very suitable for purchase.

4. Learn about your health

When selecting piglets, we also need to pay attention to the health of piglets. Generally speaking, healthy piglets have bright eyes, moist nose, good mental state, a certain degree of self-movement, clear voice, normal feces, no diarrhea and no constipation, so if this is the phenomenon you observe, then you can choose. However, if the piglets appear low spirits, loss of appetite, diarrhea, drooling and other phenomena, and such piglets had better not consider, otherwise the loss of buying back is very great, even if it is very laborious to feed.

These are the selection and purchase methods of piglets that the editor is going to share with you today. Of course, if there are conditions, it is best to select piglets in the same litter, so that piglets will be more adaptable. In addition, we should also pay attention to the change of piglets, the movements should not be extreme, otherwise the loss of healthy and easy-to-raise piglets is also relatively large.
