Five common misunderstandings in pig feed preparation

When raising pigs, many people often choose to prepare their own pig feed. Self-made pig feed can not only reduce breeding costs, but also have a certain degree of assurance in the hearts of farmers. However, when we make our own pig feed, there are also many misunderstandings. These misunderstandings are very disadvantageous to the growth of pigs, so what are the common misunderstandings? The following editor brings you 5 common misunderstandings in the preparation of pig feed, let's take a look!

1. The main fattening methods are bean cake and peanut cake.

Pig fattening work is very important, and many pig farmers will habitually choose to feed bean cake or peanut cake when fattening. I think it can accelerate the growth rate of pigs and improve the meat quality. But this is wrong, because when fattening pigs, the aim is to increase the fat of pigs, not to make them grow muscles. Feeding soybean cake and peanut cake will lead to softer fat and poor meat quality of pigs, thus reducing the quality of pigs. And will also increase the cost of breeding, and did not achieve the desired role.

2. Feed pigs with cooked feed

Feeding pigs with cooked feed is also one of the most common misunderstandings in many farmers. Although the main cooked feed can ensure cleanliness, but the nutrition will also be greatly lost. Because when the feed is cooked, most of the nutrients in the feed will disappear because of the high temperature. It is also very disadvantageous to the growth of pigs, and if raw feed is given priority to, the growth rate of pigs can be significantly accelerated, and the growth ability can also be enhanced.

3. Feed the pig with dilute feed

At present, many pig farmers still have the method of feeding pigs with dilute feed, the ratio of feed to water has reached 1:10, and some are even higher. And will also feed water to pigs, in fact, this is very disadvantageous to the growth and fattening of pigs. In order to ensure the growth rate of pigs, the feed-water ratio of feed had better be controlled at about 1:2. Keep a thicker state, the pig's food intake can be increased, and the growth rate can also be accelerated.

4. Feed hogwash to pigs

Although swill feeding pigs is very common in all parts of our country. But this will have a greater impact on the health and growth of pigs, because the hogwash has not been treated at all. There are a lot of germs, and after eating, pigs are very disadvantageous to their growth. All kinds of diseases are very likely to occur as a result, and in serious cases it can lead to death. Although the cost can be reduced, the loss may outweigh the gain.

5. Random feeding of antibiotics

When raising pigs, the prevention and treatment of pig diseases is very important. Once a pig gets sick, it not only requires more drug costs, but also has a more or less impact on the growth of pigs. And it is precisely because of this that many farmers fear that pigs will get sick, so they will be fed antibiotics without restrictions. On the contrary, this will cause great harm to the growth of pigs, we must control the feeding amount of antibiotics, targeted feeding to ensure the normal and healthy growth of pigs.
