Whether dry feed is good or not, don't just look at labor-saving and time-saving

At present, most pig farms in China use dry feed (granule or powder all belong to dry feed) to feed pigs. The application of dry feed automation has raised the efficiency of pig farms to a new stage, but is dry feeding really good? It can be said that from the very beginning, the debate about whether dry material is good or liquid material has never stopped. indeed, in the past decade, the dry feed mode has played a great role in saving time and labor, improving production efficiency to a certain extent and saving labor costs. However, it can not be ignored that the dry feed model also has great waste and high incidence of pig diseases in the feeding process. More and more experts appeal to properly adjust the dry feed model and adopt liquid feed model. It is the best way to raise pigs healthily and reduce feed waste, and it is also more in line with the natural feeding habits of pigs.

First, there is a lot of feed waste in the dry material model.

Great waste of feed is a common phenomenon in dry feed mode, which does not need to be explained too much. the phenomenon of spilling, leakage and breaking of dry material from transportation to feeding is serious, no matter which link there is a lot of waste. especially the use of free feeding pig farms, the waste is more serious.

Second, the dust of dry material mode is serious, which is easy to cause a variety of diseases.

In the process of dry feeding, especially the powder, the dust is extremely serious, which is easy to cause respiratory diseases. Because pigs are long-nosed animals, it is easy to suck dry material (granule or powder) into the lungs during feeding, which leads to disease, which is why many pigs have cough and asthma after eating.

Third, the digestibility of dry feed mode is poor, the feed utilization rate is low, and the pressure of environmental protection is high.

From a biological point of view, under the dry feed model, the digestibility of pigs after feeding is low, resulting in the feed can not be fully utilized. It should be noted that the high nutrition of the feed does not represent the high nutrition utilization rate of the feed. It can be seen from the pig fecal tests that many nutrients are not absorbed under dry feed feeding, resulting in feed waste. At the same time, high-nutrition faeces also put great pressure on environmental treatment, which requires higher cost to deal with environmental protection problems.

Now, there is a general consensus that the feed meat under the dry feed mode is relatively high, and more and more experts and farmers are in favor of the liquid feed mode and the liquid feeding system, especially today, when the disadvantages of the dry feed mode are highlighted and the concept of fermented feed and non-resistant feeding is becoming more and more popular, automatic liquid feeding will play an important role in ecological breeding and cost saving.
