Matters needing attention in raising fattening pigs

For pigs, raising fattening pigs is an absolutely profitable event for pig farms. The core of fattening pigs is to use less feed to make pigs grow healthier and faster and have more lean meat. Only in this way can the benefits of pig farming be maximized. So what should we pay attention to in fattening and feeding? Let's take a look.

1. Pay attention to feeding density and grouping

Pig farmers should put pigs of similar weight together, raise boars and sows in groups, and raise weaker and diseased pigs separately. After grouping, try not to re-group, so as not to fight and affect the growth of fattening pigs. One of the factors of feeding density should be paid attention to when grouping. Generally, it is appropriate to raise 10-12 fattening pigs in each enclosure, and fattening pigs occupy about one square meter of space every day.

2. Castration

For fattening pigs, both boars and sows need to be castrated, that is, castration. After castration, the sexual development of fattening pigs will stop, which is more convenient to manage, and the feed conversion rate is extremely high and the growth rate is faster. Pork breeds will also be higher, without that kind of fishy smell. Therefore, all fattening pigs have to be castrated before fattening.

3. Pay attention to the feeding environment

In the process of fattening, it is necessary to ensure that the pig house is clean and hygienic, do a good job of disinfection, ensure good ventilation, and pay attention to the temperature and temperature. in general, the best fattening temperature is between 15 and 21 degrees. When fattening at high temperature in summer is relatively slow, the lower temperature in winter will also affect the fattening speed. If the temperature is lower than 5 degrees, the weight gain rate of fattening pigs will plummet by more than 50%. So fattening mostly choose spring and autumn, when the climate is suitable, fattening pigs can also grow faster. In addition, in the fattening process, try to keep the pigsty quiet, avoid the sudden disturbance and noise caused by pig screaming, running, in order to reduce pig stress and affect pig fattening.

4. Pay attention to the feeding method

The feed of fattening pigs should be kept stable as far as possible, and the feed should not be changed easily. If it is necessary to change the feed, it is necessary to take a transitional period of about a week. When feeding, it is appropriate to take the way of eating less for many times, and clean up the residual feed in time to avoid mildew being eaten by pigs. Drinking water must be adequate, generally every kilogram of dry feed needs to 5-8 kilograms of drinking water.

5. Do a good job in epidemic prevention and control

Pig houses generally clean 2 low at one end, clean the feces to the dung yard in time, do a good job of vaccine immunity, and observe more in the process of breeding, especially pay attention to whether the appetite, feces and spirit are normal, once abnormal is found, diagnosis and treatment should be made in time. In addition, in order for the parasite to be effective to the growth rate and health of fattening pigs, they were dewormed once after weaning and before fattening.
