Chinese Herbal Pig Farming Techniques Explained in Detail, Master All the Breeding Methods

AbstractChinese herbal pig farming means, according to the nutritional needs of pigs, correctly adding some common Chinese herbs for breeding, such as dandelion, purslane, gentian, and plantain. Their common feature is that they can all be eaten fresh directly, or eaten after being sun-dried, and can also be ground into powder and mixed into feed in a certain proportion. Their effects differ from one another: dandelion can stimulate the appetite and aid digestion, purslane can clear heat and detoxify as well as stop bleeding, gentian can improve appetite, and plantain mainly cools the blood.

1. Dandelion Pig Farming Technique

Pigs actually all like to eat dandelion. This Chinese herb contains relatively much water and is also relatively tender, making it a very good health medicinal feed. Dandelion can be fed after being sun-dried, or eaten directly fresh, or ground into powder. Prepare 2% to 3% dandelion dry powder in the feed; this can promote appetite and also prevent some diseases, such as digestive tract and respiratory tract diseases, and can also clear heat and detoxify and aid digestion.

2. Purslane Pig Farming Technique

Purslane is most commonly seen in the southeast of our country. Like dandelion, it can be fed after being sun-dried, or eaten directly fresh, or prepared as 2% to 3% purslane dry powder in the feed. If eaten fresh, at most only 60 grams to 120 grams can be eaten; it must not be eaten too much. It can clear heat and detoxify and stop bleeding, and also has a certain therapeutic effect on uterine bleeding in sows.

3. Gentian Pig Farming Technique

Gentian is harvested in both spring and autumn, and pigs also like to eat it. It can be fed after being sun-dried, or eaten directly fresh, or prepared as 4% to 6% gentian dry powder in the feed. Eating gentian can promote digestion and improve appetite.

4. Plantain Pig Farming Technique

Plantain can be seen everywhere in our country, and it also grows in spring and autumn. It can be fed after being sun-dried, or eaten directly fresh, or prepared as 3% to 5% plantain dry powder in the feed. It has a certain therapeutic effect on some inflammations, and can also clear heat and detoxify and cool the blood.
