How to raise first-time mother pigs? Master these breeding secrets
1. Nutritional regulation during the growing period. For young sows (two-way crossbreeds), starting from 30 kg body weight, each kg of compound feed in the diet should contain 13 megajoules, 16% crude protein, 0.8% lysine, 0.75% calcium, and 0.65% phosphorus; do not restrict feed intake, and let them eat as much as possible. Starting from 45 kg body weight, increase the calcium and phosphorus content by 0.1% each. At 150 days of age, when the young sow weighs about 80 kg, control feed intake to 2.3 kg to 2.5 kg per day. For native-breed young sows, the calculated body weight should be 2 kg to 3 kg less.

How to prevent and treat deformed mushrooms? First, identify the common types
Deformed mushrooms take many forms. The main ones commonly seen in production are: landmine mushrooms, hollow mushrooms, big-bottom mushrooms, hard cap opening and early cap opening, red roots, and water rust spots. Landmine mushrooms. The main cause is that the casing soil material is too coarse, the soil is rather hard, the casing layer is thick, the surface of the casing layer contains relatively little water, while the temperature and humidity conditions of the lower part and the substrate are suitable for fruiting body formation and growth, so fruiting bodies are easily differentiated and formed on the surface of the substrate or in the middle and lower layers of the casing soil, and then push out through the soil surface. Solution: choose high-quality humus soil, preferably peat soil, and mix in a certain amount of rotted cow manure or wheat bran, etc. in proportion; when collecting and sun-drying the soil, it should be sieved so that most soil particles remain comparable in size to @#@245@#@ particles, with the largest about 1/2 the size of a corn kernel, accompanied by some soil particles; casing is generally about 3 cm, and if conditions permit, first apply a layer of coarse soil 1-1.5 cm thick, then fine soil, and pay attention to maintaining uniform moisture content.

How to scientifically control the first generation of the second-brood striped stem borer in single-season rice
Control recommendations 1. For early-sown and early-transplanted single-season rice fields, carry out a full control treatment once from June 20-25, targeting mainly stem borers and small brown planthoppers, and also controlling early-occurring leaf folders and rice thrips. Use 5% fipronil (Regent) suspension concentrate at 40-50 ml/mu, diluted in 30 kg of water for spraying. 2. For fields where rice stripe disease has occurred, on the basis of pulling out and removing diseased plants, promptly apply chemicals to control small brown planthoppers. Use 40% chlorpyrifos (Xinnongbao, Saiben) at 100 ml/mu, diluted in 30 kg of water for spraying, and repeat the treatment after an interval of 5-7 days.
