Key points of raising York Pig

York pig, also known as big white pig and double-muscle buttocks pig, is native to Yorkshire in the north of England. it has large size, strong adaptability and high feed conversion rate, so it is suitable for intensive and large-scale feeding. So what should we pay attention to in raising? Let's take a look at the key points of raising York pigs with the editor.

1. Raising piglets

Sow colostrum contains a large number of immunoglobulins, which can improve the survival rate of piglets through the immunity of piglets, so try to let piglets eat colostrum after birth. Newborn piglets have thin subcutaneous fat, lack of temperature regulation, poor adaptability to the external environment, and are very easy to feed, so piglets should be kept warm and born. One week after birth to keep the temperature at 36 degrees, keep it at 32 degrees in the second week, and 28 degrees in the third week. The nutrients in breast milk are easier to digest and absorb. If only breast milk is fed during lactation, the adaptability and nutrition of piglets will be affected after weaning. Therefore, piglets should be fed three times a day three times a day after birth.

2. Boar rearing

Feed for boars is more important, first of all to ensure the comprehensive nutrition, and the feed must be palatable, feed must have sufficient trace elements, vitamins, minerals, protein, but also with the right amount of green feed. Boars should not be too fat, if they are too fat, they should control the amount of feeding and proper exercise, otherwise it will affect the quality of sperm and lead to a decline in fecundity; if they are too thin, they should increase their feed appropriately. Boars should rest for at least 1-2 days after mating, and feed with appropriate amount of animal protein such as fishmeal and eggs should be added during breeding. Boars are finally raised separately to avoid freshness and keep its body clean and hygienic.

3. Sow feeding

Sow feeding is relatively simple, mainly depends on the feeding density, if the body size is medium, the feed density is generally 2 per square meter, and the main feed every day is nutritional additives, soybean meal, corn, etc., the content of vitamins and protein in the feed is higher, generally each sow should be fed 3 times a day, each time the amount of feeding is about 2.6 kg, at the same time to ensure adequate drinking water The amount of drinking water is generally about 4 times that of feed. After feeding, it should be given an appropriate amount of exercise, which can enhance the physique of sows.
