How to control mosquitoes and flies in pig farms in summer

Summer is the peak season for mosquitoes and flies, and both humans and pigs are seriously disturbed. Especially for pigs, mosquitoes and flies do great harm to the growth of pigs, and also have a great impact on the efficiency of breeding. Therefore, we must do a good job in mosquito and fly control in summer to ensure the healthy growth of pigs. So how exactly should we do it? Let's take a look at it with the editor.

1. Strengthen health management

The hygiene management of pig farms is very important, and many farmers often ignore this problem when raising pigs. The feces were not cleaned up in time, and the feed was scattered everywhere. The result provides excellent conditions for mosquitoes and flies to breed. Gutters, weeds and other environments will lead to a large number of mosquitoes and flies, affecting the growth of pigs. Therefore, when we breed, we must regularly clean up the excrement of the pigsty and remove some residual feed. Then do a good job of gutter cleaning, weeding work, can effectively inhibit the growth of mosquitoes and flies.

2. Strengthen anti-mosquito measures

When building pig houses, we should pay attention to laying anti-mosquito nets in the windows and vents, which can effectively prevent mosquitoes and flies from invading. But we should also pay attention to the density of screen windows to ensure that the air in the pigsty can be convective to prevent the reduction of air quality. Then do a good job of trapping and killing, use fly-killing agents and other drugs, and spray them in the pigsty. However, we should also pay attention to the choice of fly killer, not only to ensure that it can kill mosquitoes and flies, but also to prevent the impact on pigs.

3. Plant drive and killing

We can also use plant repellent to kill mosquitoes. Some irritating plants such as mint are planted around the pig farm, and the volatile substances can achieve the purpose of repelling mosquitoes. And can also use some mint leaves mixed with water to form juice, and then spray in the pigsty to drive away. There is the cultivation of Artemisia, pitcher plants and other plants, Artemisia smoke of mosquito repellent effect is very good, and can also reduce the taste in the pigsty, killing two birds with one stone.

4. Pesticides against mosquitoes

Pesticide mosquito control is the simplest and most direct way to control mosquitoes and flies. Trichlorfon, diformamidine and other pesticides can be used to spray in pig houses. It can not only have the effect of repelling mosquitoes, but also kill other pests in the pigsty. Spray around and outside the pig farm every day, and then spray internally every 7 days or so. However, it should be noted that pigs, water troughs and other places where pigs can lick can be sprayed to prevent pig poisoning.

5. Mosquito lamp

Qualified growers can set up some anti-mosquito lamps in pig farms. The main principle of the mosquito lamp is to use the phototaxis of mosquitoes and flies to attract mosquitoes nearby and inhale them into mosquito bags. The position of the mosquito lamp should be kept at about 1.8 meters from the ground. When using the anti-mosquito lamp, we should pay attention to turn off other light sources in the pigsty to prevent the reduction of the light source of the anti-mosquito lamp, resulting in a decline in mosquito control effect.

The above is a brief introduction to how to control mosquitoes and flies in pig farms in summer. Mosquito and fly control in pig farms is very important. if the prevention and control is not appropriate, it will affect pig fat gain, and in serious cases, it will lead to pig death, so we must pay more attention to it.
