Measures to reduce Feed mildew in Pig Farm

The environment of the pig house is generally high temperature and humidity, which is very suitable for the reproduction and growth of molds. Mildew is very easy to occur in the process of feed storage and feeding. In this way, pigs will often have problems such as hindered growth, vomiting, false estrus, abortion and so on. So how to reduce pig farm feed mildew, is an extremely urgent work, especially in the summer, the following and Xiaobian to have a look.

1. Hardware optimization

In the construction of feed warehouse, we should choose high dry, ventilated and cool places, the ground needs to be moistureproof, conditional walls can also be moistureproof measures, at the same time, we should also ensure that the warehouse ventilation conditions are good. The silo of the automatic material line is installed in a cool and dry place, or a sunshade is built on the silo to ensure that the silo is dry, ventilated and cool, so as to avoid internal self-condensation or high temperature leading to feed mildew.

2. Specification for purchase and preservation of feed

When purchasing feed, we should choose high-quality feed produced by large brand companies. in order to reduce costs, some small manufacturers may use wine trough and alternative feed, which have good mold contamination and will greatly reduce feed quality. increase the risk of feed mildew in the follow-up process. In the process of transportation, the feed should be prevented from being drenched in the rain and exposed to the sun. Once these conditions occur, the feed should be clearly marked or returned directly. If it is self-made feed. It is necessary to fully dissipate heat after crushing, and then bag after cooling, so as to avoid moisture condensation and mildew. The purchase of feed should be carried out in batches, and the storage should be scientific and reasonable. There is a gap between the stacked feed stacks, not against the wall, so as to facilitate ventilation and statistical distribution.

3. Selection and cleaning of feeding equipment

In order to reduce the residue of feed in feed line, dispenser and trough, high quality facilities should be selected to avoid feed mildew. In the humid summer season in the south, managers should check it more than twice a week. Once abnormal conditions are found, they should deal with them in time to prevent moldy feed from entering the pigsty. The silo, material line and teaching trough should be cleaned in time to avoid mildew and deterioration of the residual feed, which is extremely disadvantageous to the growth and development of pigs.

4. Reduce the humidity of the enclosure

When the relative humidity of the environment reaches 80%, it is very conducive to the growth and reproduction of molds. When eating the wet curtain in summer, the wind speed of the fan should match the area of the wet curtain, so as to prevent the water between the water curtain from being pulled into the enclosure, increasing the air humidity or wetting the feed. Cause feed mildew. To clean up feces and wash the ground in summer, the humidity of the enclosure must be strictly controlled and ventilated reasonably.

The above is the introduction of measures to reduce feed mildew in pig farms. I hope it can help you. If you want to know more about it, please follow us.
