Practical Five-Feeding Methods for Sows During Lactation
① Feeding sows feed fermented with yeast has a good milk-promoting effect. ② Feed green fodder that stimulates lactation, such as sugar beet roots and their leaves, raw potatoes, etc. ③ Wash the sow's afterbirth clean, then boil it into soup and feed it to the sow. ④ Take 40 grams of cowherb seed (Vaccaria hispanica), 30 grams each of akebia stem (Akebia quinata), safflower (Carthamus tinctorius), and common burreed tuber (Sparganium stoloniferum), 50 grams of medicated leaven (Massa Medicata Fermentata), and 20 grams of red peony root (Paeonia lactiflora), mix them, add water, and decoct into a liquid; give 1 dose per day, divided into 2 feedings, for 2 to 3 consecutive days. ⑤ In the early stage of lactation, boil small fish and small shrimp into soup, mix it into the feed, and feed it to the sow; this can significantly increase milk yield, with results seen by the 2nd day.

How to reduce contamination in edible mushroom inoculation? Five practical methods to help you solve it
Autumn and winter are the golden seasons for producing edible mushrooms, but every year, inoculation contamination causes economic losses of around 20% for mushroom growers. Using the following 5 methods can reduce the inoculation contamination rate. 1. Bottled fermented material: Fill fermented material 1 to 2 cm deep above the culture medium at 4 cm from the bottle mouth, then sterilize. Its advantages are that contaminating bacteria are less likely to infect the culture medium, and the spawn age is consistent. 2. Wheat grain germination method: Let wheat grains germinate before bottling and sterilizing. That is, let the wheat grains used for spawn germinate all at once, with sprouts 1 to 2 times the length of the wheat grains, then fully sun-dry and store. One day before making the spawn, soak the wheat grains for 12 hours and directly bottle and sterilize. Its advantages are that the process of boiling the wheat grains is omitted, mycelium grows quickly, and there are fewer contaminating bacteria. The contamination rate is 2% to 3%.

Five practical methods to protect wheat seedlings from freezing and cold
When the severe winter comes, doing a good job of protecting overwintering crops such as wheat from the winter cold and taking preventive measures is an important guarantee for obtaining a bumper harvest. According to different field plots, the following five methods can be used to prevent freezing and protect seedlings. First, spreading grass to protect seedlings. Some varieties with strong spring habit are sown relatively late, emerge sparsely, and have fewer tillers. For such field plots, cover them with crop straw such as wheat straw and rice straw to keep them warm, promote tiller growth, prevent freezing and strengthen seedlings, so that the wheat seedlings can safely overwinter. Second, applying fertilizer and water to the roots. For field plots where wheat seedlings have shallow roots and few tillers

What to Do About Embryo Resorption in Sows? Five Prevention and Treatment Methods to Help You Solve It
In pig farming, a low farrowing rate in sows is a common problem. Besides a low fertilization rate, early embryonic death during development followed by resorption by the sow (commonly known as embryo resorption) is also an important cause. This difficult problem can be solved through the following methods. 1. Strengthen the feeding and management of open sows: 3 to 14 days before mating, increase protein feed and energy feed, and add minerals and vitamins at the same time, so that they enter the optimal mating state more quickly; for open sows in poorer body condition, a longer period before mating

How can the efficacy of fishery drugs be improved? Master these five methods
Improve the binder The binder must be highly sticky, otherwise the drug will easily disperse and be lost in the water. Standard wheat flour is a relatively good binder material. For swallowing fish, it is best to make pelleted medicated bait or ball-shaped medicated bait for feeding. Add a feeding attractant Fish have a keen sense of smell; even if 1 gram of alanine is dissolved in 1 million liters of water, fish can still detect it. For example, if strongly aromatic Chinese herbal medicines such as star anise and Angelica dahurica are ground into fine powder to make a feeding attractant, and mixed into fishery drugs at a ratio of 10%-20%, or added to roasted soybean powder, wheat flour, etc., all have obvious feeding-attractant effects

How to kill scarab beetles? Five effective control methods
The larvae of scarab beetles, commonly known as chicken-manure grubs, gnaw at the roots of seedlings. Besides biting through lateral roots and the main root, they can also strip and devour the root bark completely, causing missing seedlings and broken rows, and in severe cases even disastrous damage. Adult scarab beetles feed on both leaves and flowers, and they reproduce extremely quickly, so they can easily harm seedlings. They are a common major pest in forestry. The period when adults cause rampant damage is roughly from June to October, and this is the best time for control: it both controls the damage caused by adults and keeps the next generation's population density in check, yielding twice the result with half the effort.

How Should Garlic Be Stored? Five New Methods to Teach You
There are many methods for storing garlic. Depending on the storage purpose and conditions, methods such as hanging storage, heap storage, burial storage, radiation storage, and chemical treatment storage can be used. They are specifically introduced as follows. 1. Hanging storage method: When harvesting garlic, the garlic intended for hanging storage should be strictly selected, removing those heads that are too small, have rotten stems and leaves, are damaged, or have been affected by moisture. Then spread them on the ground to dry in the sun until the stems and leaves become soft and yellow, and the outer skin of the garlic is dry. Finally, select 50 to 100 garlic heads of uniform size, braid them, and hang them under a cool, ventilated, rain-sheltered eave so they are air-dried and stored.

How to keep oyster mushrooms fresh? Introduction to five common preservation methods
Fresh storage: Fresh oyster mushrooms picked after harvest are difficult to sell in the short term due to market influences, so the fresh storage method can be used. The storage time of fresh oyster mushrooms at room temperature is greatly affected by temperature and air humidity. When the room temperature is 3°C to 5°C and the relative air humidity is around 80%, fresh mushrooms can be stored for one week. When the quantity of mushrooms is small, the oyster mushrooms can be placed in a jar containing a small amount of cold water and the jar mouth sealed tightly; even if the temperature reaches 15°C to 16°C, they can be stored for about one week. The oyster mushrooms can also be completely immersed in cold water, but the water must be clean and hygienic, and the iron content of the water should be less than 2 milligrams per liter
