Pig Fattening Tips: Clever Use of Egg White, Citric Acid and Fattening Feed Additives

AbstractEgg white: inject about 5 milliliters of egg white per pig each time, then inject once more after 7 days, which has a very good fattening effect. Citric acid: it can improve the feed absorption rate and feed intake of pigs, promote the digestive capacity of the pig intestine, make pigs eat more and therefore grow faster. Fattening feed additives: properly adding fattening feed additives to pig feed can not only fatten the pigs, but also regulate the intestinal digestive capacity and resistance of the pigs.

I. Fattening Tips

1. During the breeding process, egg white can be used to treat runt pigs. If the method is used well, the effect is also very significant. Generally, inject about 5 milliliters of egg white per pig at one time, and inject once more after one week, which has a very good fattening effect.

2. Some citric acid can be added to pig feed, which can promote the feed intake of pigs, thereby improving the digestion and absorption rate of the pig intestine. Pigs that eat more will grow faster, and citric acid can improve the feed absorption rate and feed intake of pigs.

3. A good fattening feed additive can improve the fattening and weight-gaining effect of pigs. Generally, adding a small amount of fattening feed additive to the feed that pigs eat can fatten the pigs while also regulating the pig intestine and improving the resistance of the pigs.

II. Pig Fattening Methods

1. Before raising pigs, choose excellent early-maturing breeds. Pigs of these breeds gain weight faster than late-maturing breeds, save feed, and also have a high slaughter rate. The hybrid advantage can also be used to produce fattening pigs, which can improve the fattening effect.

2. When raising pigs, the quality of the feed and the matching of grains are very important and have a relatively large impact on the fattening effect, especially the protein content in the daily grain. Usually, from weaning to a body weight of about 50 kilograms, the crude protein content should account for about 15-16% of the daily grain. After 50 kilograms, the crude protein content should preferably account for about 12-13% of the daily grain. Therefore, the crude fiber content should not exceed about 14% of the daily grain.

3. In the later stage, reasonable grouping should be carried out. Generally, after feeding fattening feed for a period of time, situations of uneven size and strength are likely to occur. At this time, the pigs should be properly grouped according to size and strength. Feeding is very important for accelerating fattening.

4. In summer and autumn, too high or too low a temperature will affect the weight gain of pigs, usually about 3-5% lower than the weight gain in spring and autumn. Therefore, in summer, prevent exposure to the sun and pay attention to maintaining ventilation. In winter, pay attention to keeping the pig house warm, and also note that the lighting in the pig house should not be too dim. It should be convenient for the pigs to rest fully, which is beneficial to the growth and fattening of pigs.

5. Generally, for small early-maturing breeds of pigs, fattening can be carried out when the body weight reaches about 40 kilograms, while for large late-maturing breeds of pigs, fattening can begin when they grow to about 50-60 kilograms, because fattening too early easily wastes concentrated feed and cannot produce large fat pigs, while fattening too late is also not cost-effective. Generally, when it is found that the pigs have a large appetite, rosy skin color, glossy hair, and sleep after eating their fill, this is the best period for fattening.
