What are the precautions for raising pigs in autumn? Farmers should master these key points
SummaryIn autumn, pig farming should pay attention to controlling the indoor temperature, doing a good job of keeping warm, and avoiding too large a temperature difference between morning and evening. At the same time, pay attention to air circulation in the pen to prevent air pollution from causing the spread of disease. Seize the golden period to give pigs more nutrition and increase their body weight, and at the same time inject vaccines to enhance the pigs' disease resistance.
1. Pay attention to keeping warm
In autumn, the temperature difference between day and night increases, which has a certain impact on the growth of pigs, so the work of keeping the pigpen warm should be done well: add and thicken straw mats, and in the north where conditions are good, heating can be used appropriately to raise the temperature in the pen. Preventing pigs from frostbite is the key point of pig raising work in autumn.
2. Pay attention to the air quality of the pigpen
Keeping the pigpen warm is very important, and at the same time attention should also be paid to air circulation in the pen to prevent air pollution. It is recommended to open windows for ventilation at noon on sunny days, and promptly clean up unclean matter in the pen and keep the ground dry. It is recommended to add 2.5% pig feed additive——active peptide powder to the feed to help improve the air quality in the pigpen.
3. Adjust nutrition well
After a summer, the feed intake of pigs will gradually increase, so after entering autumn the pigs' appetite is greatly stimulated, and this season is the golden time to increase pigs' body weight. Pig farmers can gradually add feed with high nutritional value and high heat energy that is beneficial to pig growth according to a scientific formula, appropriately increase and raise the content of fat, protein, amino acids, etc. in the pigs' bodies, and also put some “autumn fat” on the pigs.
4. Disease prevention and control
Regularly spray medicine in the pigpen, and at the same time improve the pigs' disease resistance through vaccination to avoid large-scale spread of epidemic disease. It is recommended that in the few days before vaccinating the pigs, add 1% Odeman A to the daily feed, which can effectively enhance the immune effect of the vaccine and at the same time improve the pigs' disease resistance.
