What comprehensive health care measures should be taken for pigs and chickens in June?
In the past, we controlled diseases mainly by relying on vaccines and drugs. A large amount of practice has proven that this is wrong. Effective disease prevention and control must be a sound biosecurity system. In June, the comprehensive health care measures taken for pigs and chickens mainly include: 1. Heat prevention and cooling (1) Insulation. Pig and chicken farms should be built in ventilated open areas, facing south. In southern regions, open or semi-open types are suitable. Traditional open pens with shade sheds or shade nets can effectively block sunlight and reduce the harm of heat stress to pigs and chickens. In northern regions, build

Method of feeding pigs a diet containing fish products
Australian scientists have found a way to reduce the fat content of pork: feeding pigs a diet containing fish products. They claim that pork from pigs fed a diet containing fish products is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, and this pork can help prevent heart disease. These acids can break down triglycerides and lower the fat content in the blood. Advantages: Alison Coates, a researcher in southern Australia, said that eating this pork is very beneficial for people. This research

Technical key points for feeding pigs with bitter lettuce in summer and autumn
Bitter lettuce, commonly known as bitter vegetable, grows vigorously in summer and autumn, has strong adaptability, high yield, and rich nutrition, and is a good feed for pigs. Fresh bitter lettuce contains 89% moisture, 2.6% crude protein, 1.7% crude fat, 1.6% crude fiber, and 3.2% nitrogen-free extract. Air-dried bitter lettuce contains more than 20% crude protein. Fresh bitter lettuce is tender and juicy, with white sap and a slight bitter taste, and has the effect of strengthening the stomach and promoting intestinal peristalsis. Therefore, it is good to feed pigs more bitter lettuce in summer and autumn. The feeding method is: the collected bitter lettuce

Comprehensive Prevention and Treatment Methods and Technical Points for Iron Deficiency in Pigs
Preventive measures: Strengthen the feeding management of lactating sows and feed them complete formula feed; it is best to let the piglets accompany the sow outside the pen for activity. Red soil or deep dry soil can also be placed inside the pig pen and left for the pigs to eat freely; when necessary, supplement piglets with iron preparations. Treatment measures: Western medicine treatment: 1. Take 100 grams of ferrous sulfate and 20 grams of copper sulfate, grind and mix them into 5 kilograms of fine sand, scatter it in the pig pen, and let the pigs lick it freely. 2. Take 21 grams of ferrous sulfate and 7 grams of copper sulfate, dissolve them in 1000 milliliters of water, filter and take

Porcine yin deficiency with liver hyperactivity is one of the difficult and complicated diseases of pigs.
[Etiology] This disease mostly occurs in spring and summer. In spring and summer, yang qi is released, and the main qi of livestock tends to the body surface. When feeding and management are improper, the climate is abnormal, or the pig's own regulatory and adaptive functions are disordered, some diseases closely related to the season appear, and pigs are prone to yin deficiency with liver hyperactivity. When the liver is hyperactive, it affects the heart (the mother organ affecting the child organ). The liver opens into the eyes, and the heart opens into the tongue, so diseased pigs show red eyes, red tongue, dry mouth, and fever. Because of persistent high fever, body fluids are consumed and damaged, so symptoms such as weakness and a preference for lying down appear. Liver hyperactivity overacts on the spleen, and the spleen fails in its transportation and transformation, so appetite decreases. The liver governs free coursing

How to create the right environmental conditions for growing-finishing pigs (Part 1)
Intensive pig production is carried out under high-density housed conditions, and the microclimate inside the pig house is the main environmental condition. The microclimate of a pig house includes: temperature, humidity, wind speed, gases, sound, and so on. These environmental factors all directly affect the weight gain rate, feed utilization rate and ultimately the economic benefits of pigs. 1. Suitable temperature and humidity Pigs have a poor ability to regulate their own body temperature; they have only very few sweat glands that can help regulate it in hot weather, and only very little hair coat to resist the cold of winter. Therefore, pig houses must have good heat insulation and warmth retention, and

What causes pigs to grind their teeth at night?
1. Single feed source: It is best to feed pigs a complete compound feed with full nutritional value. When feeding concentrated feed, it should be paired with green and coarse feed, and an appropriate amount of minerals and trace elements should be added. Adding 1%-2% mineral feed to the pig's daily ration, such as bone meal, calcium hydrogen phosphate, eggshell powder, etc., and adding 0.25%-0.5% salt, etc., has a certain effect on preventing pigs from grinding their teeth at night. Each day, supplement each pig's feed with 30-50 grams of bone meal or eggshell powder or calcium bicarbonate powder, and 6-19 grams of salt, and feed continuously for 7-10 days, and the nighttime teeth grinding phenomenon can be eliminated.

How to formulate feed for pigs during lactation in a scientific way
Sows need large amounts of nutrients during lactation to support milk production. At peak lactation, a sow's milk production capacity exceeds the nutrients she takes in through feed and the nutrients lost through milk, so her body condition declines rapidly. Preparing high-quality, high-nutrient-density feed for lactating sows is the best way to resolve this contradiction. Feed Formula 1: Lactation Feed Formula 1 in Table 4-3 avoids as much as possible the use of bulky feeds such as alfalfa and rice hull bran. In the design of lactation feed formulas, unknown nutritional factors appear less important, and this formula uses high-energy feed corn and high-protein feeds such as fish meal and soybean meal as much as possible, so that the volume of the compound feed is reduced as much as possible and the nutrient concentration is increased as much as possible. The formula also uses synthetic amino acids to further fortify the first limiting amino acid and improve the utilization efficiency of feed protein. To ensure milk quality, the amounts of micro-ingredients in the formula remain unchanged from those in gestation feed. Compound feed produced with this formula, when used to feed high-yielding sows nursing about 10-15 piglets, can achieve very ideal lactation and nursing results.

10 Types of Feed That Must Not Be Given After Pigs Take Medication
1. Mung beans: Mung beans can neutralize a hundred toxins and can also neutralize a hundred medicines, so they should be withheld after pigs take medication. 2. Sorghum: Sorghum contains tannic acid, which has a strong astringent effect, so it is forbidden when pigs are given purgatives; in addition, tannic acid can denature iron preparations, so it also must not be fed during treatment of iron-deficiency anemia. 3. Soybeans and soybean cake: Because soybeans contain minerals such as calcium, magnesium and iron, if soybean cake is fed at the same time as tetracycline drugs (such as tetracycline, oxytetracycline, etc.), it can form water-insoluble complexes and reduce the therapeutic effect, so it should be forbidden.

How to prevent heat stress in pigs? Summer nutritional measures are key
Heat stress refers to the sum of nonspecific physiological responses made by the body to a hot environment when it is in an extremely high-temperature environment. With the development of intensive high-density rearing methods, the decline in sow reproductive performance caused by heat stress has become increasingly serious. Heat stress causes severe body weight loss in sows, prolongs the interval from weaning to re-estrus, reduces the number of ovulations, lowers the conception rate, decreases embryo survival rate, reduces litter size, causes sows not to come into estrus, and may even shorten the service life of sows. In addition, during heat stress, lactating sows have low feed intake,
