A Detailed Explanation of the Key Points of Luchuan Pig Farming Technology

The Luchuan pig is one of the eight excellent local pig breeds in our country. It not only has strong reproductive capacity and good mothering ability, but also has relatively strong stress resistance and other characteristics, and is deeply loved by pig farmers. So what are the key points of Luchuan pig farming technology?

1. Selection of Luchuan pig breeds

Compared with other pig breeds, the Luchuan pig prefers coarse feed even more, and has a strong foraging ability. At the same time, it is physically strong, has relatively strong resistance to diseases, and has a long production cycle. Therefore, from a comprehensive perspective, the Luchuan pig is very suitable for understory farming. When specifically selecting piglets, in order to ensure the quality and efficiency of farming, the Luchuan piglets should be carefully inspected, and those robust piglets weighing around 20kg should be selected.

2. Selection of farming woodland

The Luchuan pig is relatively suitable for understory farming. In the selection of woodland, the best woodland should be chosen for farming according to the natural weather conditions of the farming area. Generally, natural woodland can be selected as the farming site, or woodland with lush broadleaf trees, as these woodlands often have natural water sources and abundant food.

After selecting the woodland, an investigation should be carried out around the farming site to clean up pollution sources. At the same time, according to the actual terrain conditions, attention should also be paid to the ventilation effect and sanitation conditions of the woodland, so as to avoid the generation of viruses and bacteria in the woodland to the greatest extent and reduce the probability of disease in Luchuan pigs.

3. Feeding of Luchuan pigs

When first farming piglets, they must be domesticated to ensure that the pigs can automatically return to the farming base within the prescribed time. In order to achieve this goal, during the farming process, they should first be kept in pens for 4-6d, with feed provided 3 times/d. After that, when feed is provided each time, it is only necessary to ensure that the pigs are 70 percent full, so that the pigs will feel hungry the next day and actively go out to forage. After the pigs are farmed to the middle stage, their food intake becomes larger, and foraging in the wild alone often makes it difficult to meet the growth requirements of the pigs. In this case, in order to ensure the healthy and robust growth of the pigs, supplementary feed should also be provided regularly.

4. Disease prevention and control of Luchuan pigs

First, drive away mosquitoes and insects in the woodland to prevent parasites from appearing in the pigs' bodies. Some deworming agents can be mixed into the feed, and corresponding vaccines can also be injected into the pigs regularly. At the same time, it is also necessary to ensure that the entire pigpen maintains a good environment; second, for pigs showing symptoms of vomiting and listlessness, a certain amount of mung bean water should be poured into the pigs in a timely manner, or according to the veterinarian's examination, corresponding reagents should be injected to prevent the death of the pigs.

Warm reminder: When farming Luchuan pigs, because they are raised in a free-range manner, dedicated personnel are still needed for observation. Once pigs with poor mental state are found, they need to be dealt with in a timely manner.
