Feeding pigs dry feed has many benefits; these advantages are something farmers should know
The traditional method of feeding pigs with watery feed is not conducive to the growth and development of pigs. Because adding too much water to the feed will prevent pigs from chewing the feed thoroughly, affect saliva secretion, dilute gastric juice, be unfavorable for digestion, and cause frequent urination, creating an extra physiological burden and consuming nutrients. According to measurements, when pigs eat 200 grams of dry feed, they secrete 335 milliliters of saliva; if 200 grams of water is added, saliva secretion drops to 196 milliliters; when 600 grams of water is added, saliva secretion is only 115 milliliters. Therefore, when pigs eat watery feed, it will seriously affect digestion and absorption, leading to dry feces
