Feeding pigs with mulberry leaves: how many pigs can 1 mu of land support?

After scientific processing, mulberry leaves can become an excellent pig feed, and at a lower cost than ordinary feed. So, how many pigs can 1 mu of mulberry leaves support?

1. How many pigs can 1 mu of mulberry leaves support

1 mu of mulberry leaves can raise 40 pigs. Compared with traditional farming methods, this can directly reduce feeding costs by more than 15%. The ecological high-protein plant feed, refined through fermentation using hybrid mulberry (Broussonetia papyrifera) as the raw material, can lower the cholesterol of pigs and regulate lipid metabolism after being fed to them.

Hybrid mulberry feed can promote the proliferation of beneficial bacteria in the intestinal tract of pigs and inhibit intestinal pathogens in animals. It has a unique role in restoring and improving the digestion and respiratory functions of livestock and poultry and enhancing immunity, thereby improving lipid metabolism, and the disease resistance of animals is significantly enhanced.

According to current research trials, pigs fed with this feed have meat quality at 156 days equivalent to that of a 60-day-old piglet. “After fermentation and decomposition, hybrid mulberry leaves produce antimicrobial peptides, which can block fat synthesis and form unsaturated fatty acids.” The person in charge introduced that pigs raised with hybrid mulberry leaf feed have more lean meat, less fat, clear marbling, tender meat and a natural fresh aroma. Even when simply boiled with only salt added, the taste is very delicious, and the selling price is higher than ordinary pork.

It can be said that the current market prospect for raising pigs with mulberry leaves is still very broad, but the requirements for pig farmers are still relatively high: one aspect is mulberry leaf feed, and another is the sales channels for pigs raised on these mulberry trees. This is what pig farmers need to consider.
