Matters needing attention in site selection of modern pig farm

Now our pig raising technology is becoming more and more mature, and there are more and more breeding models. Now it is common to focus on modern pig farming, and site selection is the primary task in the establishment of modern pig farms. And the choice of modern pig farm site is not so easy, there are many places we need to pay attention to, but also need to consider a lot of aspects. Then let's take a look at the matters needing attention in the site selection of modern pig farms with Xiaobian.

1. Topography

In modern pig farming, pig farms are built in an open and tidy place with a large enough area. It is not suitable to build if the terrain is narrow or uneven. If the area is too small, it is easy to cause crowded buildings and bring great trouble to the breeding work. Therefore, pig farms should be built on high, dry, leeward and sunny places. Maintain a gentle slope of about 25 degrees, which is conducive to drainage, and the slope should not be too large, otherwise it will affect the transportation in the pig farm. The area of pig farm should be controlled according to the quantity and nature of breeding.

2. Source water quality

Ensure that there is an adequate source of water around the pig farm, and the water quality should be pollution-free and clean. It is convenient for pigs to drink and carry out sanitary protection, and it can also reduce the investment in water purification and disinfection. When we feed water to pigs, we should control the amount of water according to different growth stages or types of pigs to ensure that each pig can drink enough water every day. For example, if it is a boar, then a pig needs to drink about 10 litres of water a day, while the water requirement of a breeding pig is not very large, usually about 6 litres.

3. Soil properties

When establishing a pig farm, we should pay attention not only to the topography, but also to the soil properties at the bottom of the pig farm. Under normal circumstances, the soil of the pig farm should maintain a good permeability, strong water permeability, and be able to withstand large heat capacity. In this way, it can play a good role in inhibiting the activity of harmful substances such as microorganisms and parasites. And the temperature difference between day and night in pig farms can also be reduced. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the unoccupied cultivated land, consider the chemical and biological characteristics, do a good job in the investigation of endemic diseases and epidemic situation, and prevent reconstruction on old pig farms or other livestock farms.

4. Surroundings

The environment around the pig farm is also very important. It is necessary to ensure good transportation, stable use of water and electricity, and facilitate epidemic prevention. And the pig farm should be at least 300 meters away from the main roads, railways and so on. But also stay away from residential areas to avoid the impact on the lives of residents. If the number of breeding heads exceeds ten thousand, then the distance should be kept at least more than one kilometer. Then pay attention to keep a good distance from other livestock and poultry farms to avoid mutual influence.

The above is a brief introduction to the matters needing attention in the site selection of modern pig farms. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help you all.
