Misunderstanding of fattening pigs in autumn

The temperature and environment of autumn are very suitable for the growth of pigs, so autumn can also be said to be the golden season for pigs. In the autumn, most pig farmers want pigs to gain weight faster. So they will try every means to fatten the pigs, but when fattening, many pig farmers have some misunderstandings. So what are the specific misunderstandings? Let's take a look at it with the editor.

1. Feed a large amount of bean cake and peanut cake

When some pig farmers feed, they think that as long as a large number of bean cakes and peanut cakes are fed, the growth rate of pigs will be accelerated and the meat quality will be better. In fact, this idea is wrong, when fattening pigs, as long as the purpose is to make pigs fat, not muscle, so a large amount of protein feed is actually very disadvantageous to fattening pigs in autumn. If the pig is fed too much protein feed when fattening, the pig has to remove the nitrogen part of the protein before the rest can be converted into fat. And these two kinds of feed also have a lot of unsaturated fatty acids, which will cause pork yellowing and softening, but affect the meat quality.

2. Mainly cooked feed.

Cooked feed has always been the breeding habit of many pig farmers. They all think that if pigs eat cooked food, they can get a little more fat and water. In fact, compared with raw feed, the nutrients in cooked feed are basically destroyed. For example, if the structure of vitamins is destroyed, proteins will age as a result. According to the relevant statistics, there will be about 1 to 5 nutrient loss in the cooking process of cooked feed. If it is green feeding, then the loss of nutrition will be more serious, and if the braised pot time is too long, it will also produce a large amount of nitrite, leading to pig food poisoning and, in serious cases, death.

3. Infuse belly with thin soup

There are also some pig farmers in the autumn feed, will choose to give priority to water, the ratio of feed to water reached 1:10 or more. But also feed water to pigs, which is very disadvantageous to the fattening and even growth of pigs. Feeding water will cause pigs to consume more energy during metabolism, increasing the burden on the kidneys. The secretion of digestive juice was blocked, resulting in a decrease in feed utilization. Therefore, in order to increase the feed intake of pigs in autumn, the feed-water ratio should not exceed 1:2. If the mixture is raw and wet, then the proportion can be controlled at about 1:1, and pay attention to providing it with adequate drinking water.

4. Feed hogwash to pigs

At present, there are still many pig farmers who like to use hogwash mainly. Although swill is more economical, it has a great impact on the growth of pigs and the quality of pork. Because there are many microbes and bacteria in hogwash, which will hinder the growth and development of pigs. And sometimes fatal. And when hogwash is stored, pathogens and bacteria will multiply in large numbers, and then spread through insects, seriously affecting the interests of farmers, so we must pay more attention to it.
