What is the correct way to feed garlic to pigs?
SummaryThe method of feeding garlic to pigs varies according to its purpose. If you feed 2 cloves of garlic each time, 2 times a day, for 5 consecutive days, it has a very good effect on improving the sexual function of breeding pigs; in the daily feed of fattening pigs, add 5 kg of garlic powder per 100 jin and feed it, and they can be sent to market about 10 days earlier; feeding 2 cloves of garlic a day can prevent colds; if piglets have symptoms such as scours and diarrhea, you can feed 5 cloves of garlic per meal, and there will be improvement after 3 consecutive days of feeding.
I. How to use garlic in the pig-raising process
1. Improve the sexual function of breeding pigs
Garlic can accelerate blood circulation and can stimulate breeding pigs to produce nitric oxide synthase. This enzyme can promote rapid erection in breeding pigs.
How to use: generally, breeding pigs that are weak can be fed 5 cloves of garlic each time, 2 times a day, and there will be a very good effect after 5 consecutive days.
2. Stomach-strengthening and growth-promoting effect
Because garlic has the effect of warming the middle and strengthening the stomach, promoting digestion and regulating qi, its pungent smell helps promote the secretion of pig saliva, thereby increasing gastrointestinal peristalsis, promoting the secretion of digestive juices, and increasing the appetite of pigs.
How to use: in the daily feed of fattening pigs, add 5 kg of garlic powder to every 100 jin of feed, and they can be sent to market about 10 days earlier.
3. Preventing colds and repelling mosquitoes
Garlic also has the effect of detoxifying and killing insects. Generally, after pigs eat garlic, through the action of digestive enzymes, the urine becomes garlicin, which can effectively control the breeding of flies and also reduce the impact of flies on pigs.
How to use: 2 cloves of garlic can be fed every day. Garlic can effectively kill some influenza viruses and has a remarkable effect on preventing colds.
4. Anti-diarrheal and anti-dysentery effect
According to research, the main component of garlic is diallyl trisulfide. This substance can kill Salmonella typhi, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Shigella dysenteriae, and can effectively control phenomena such as scours and diarrhea in pigs.
How to use: if piglets have dysentery, the sow can be fed 5 cloves of garlic per meal, and after 3 consecutive days of feeding, the diarrhea will improve.
II. Benefits of frequently feeding garlic to pigs
1. Reduce mosquitoes and insects
In summer, because of the problem of pig manure and urine, large numbers of mosquitoes and insects are relatively likely to breed, which not only pollutes the environment but also easily spreads viruses.
After garlic undergoes the action of enzymes in the pig's body, it can be transformed into garlicin, which can effectively inhibit the breeding of mosquito and fly larvae and effectively protect the environment.
2. Improve meat quality
Pigs that are frequently fed garlic can make pork more fragrant and tender, because the allicin in garlic can effectively improve the quality of pork.
3. Resist epidemic diseases
Feeding garlic to pigs for a long time can kill pathogenic bacteria such as Shigella dysenteriae and Salmonella typhi. Because garlic has a bactericidal effect, it can also prevent phenomena such as diarrhea and scours in pigs.
Pigs that are frequently fed garlic can also reduce the incidence of respiratory diseases.
