1. Correct Breed Selection
1. One step in pig farming is choosing a suitable breed. According to different regions and different breeds, choose the most suitable breed for farming.
2. When selecting a breed, first choose one with relatively strong adaptability, and second one with relatively good fattening results; this kind of breed is more helpful for increasing later economic returns.
2. Control the Farming Quantity Well
Generally, when just entering this farming industry, large-scale farming is not suitable. The farming quantity can be kept at around 30-40 head, and after accumulating some experience, the farming scale can be gradually expanded. To ensure the normal operation of the farm, one person should keep the farming quantity at around 50-80 head; it should not be too many, otherwise it will be impossible to take care of them all.
3. Control Farming Costs Well
Farming pigs is for increasing economic returns, so in order to save on farming costs, you can start with feed. If you directly buy commercially produced feed from the market for feeding, the cost will be relatively high. In fact, you can mix feed yourself at home; this is not only safe and nutritious, but can also reduce costs. However, it is not advisable to blindly stockpile products, as it is easy to exceed the budget.
4. Disease Prevention
When farming pigs, you must promptly do a good job of disease prevention according to different seasons, keep the pigpen environment clean and hygienic, and disinfect regularly. The next thing is regular inspection. If anything unusual appears, identify the cause and carry out prevention and control promptly to avoid spread.
5. Analysis of Farming Prospects
1. Farming prospects
In the past two years, the market price of live pigs has fallen due to the continued impact of African swine fever, and market sales have also been affected to a certain extent, leading to the stockpiling of healthy pork. As the disease is gradually brought under control, the market prospects are still quite good.
2. Market conditions
At present, there is not much fluctuation in the market conditions for live pigs. In a small number of places, the price of healthy pigs farmed in rural areas is gradually rising. In addition, the output of live pigs in some areas cannot recover in a short time, so the market shows a situation where supply falls short of demand. This also shows that the market conditions for live pigs are gradually recovering, and after a period of time, the live pig market will certainly be good.
3. Economic returns
Generally, the costs of farming pigs include farming equipment, farm construction, breeding pigs, feed, labor, and other expenses. For example, to farm 100 head of live pigs, the purchase cost of breeding pigs is about 60,000, the feed cost is about 70,000, and other costs are about 20,000, for a total cost of about 150,000 yuan. When the live pigs are ready for market, each is about 300 jin, and calculating at a wholesale price of 8 yuan per jin, the total is about 270,000 yuan. After deducting all costs, the annual net income is as high as about 120,000.
