Key points for high-yield Tibetan fragrant pig farming and how much the market price is per jin
The Tibetan fragrant pig, also known as the ginseng pig or ferns pig, is a type of fragrant pig commonly found in Shangri-La in Yunnan, Aba in Sichuan, Tibet, Gansu and other places. Because it is relatively rare and its meat is fragrant and rich, it is deeply loved by people, and many areas are currently farming it as well. So how much is the market price of Tibetan fragrant pigs per jin? How are they raised?
1. How much is the market price of Tibetan fragrant pigs per jin?
The Tibetan fragrant pig is the only grazing-type pig breed in our country. It grows in plateau areas at an altitude of 3000-4000 m, mainly feeding on natural wild edible plants and fruits. The average weight of an adult pig is less than 50 kg. The market price is usually around 100 yuan per jin. Only Tibetan fragrant pig breeding stock is sold by the animal, and the price of breeding stock varies from around 1500-2000.
2. How should Tibetan fragrant pigs be raised to achieve high yields?
1. Construction of the pig farm
The pig farm should be built in an area far from crowds, with high and dry terrain, sheltered from the wind and facing the sun, and with good drainage. The functional divisions of the production area should be clear. Finally, the size of the pig house should be determined according to the scale of raising. The height of the building should generally be above 2.5 m. There should be suitable windows at the front and back of the pig house to ensure lighting and ventilation. In summer, appropriately reduce the raising density, and in winter, appropriately increase the raising density. The height of the pig pen wall is 0.8-1 m, and feeding troughs and drinking water devices should be installed inside the pen. The cement floor of the pig house should have a certain slope, and a sewage drainage ditch should be set outside the pig house. An open-air pen connected to the inside of the house can also be set up outside the pig house.
2. Raising density
Fragrant pigs are small in size, so the raising density can be appropriately higher than that of other pig breeds. About 10 piglets can be raised in a 10 sq m pen, while for large pigs, raising 5 in a 10 sq m pen is suitable. If the density is too high, it will intensify competition for food and fighting, affecting feeding, activity and sleep. If the density is too low, it wastes raising space. In addition, fragrant pigs reach sexual maturity relatively early, so preparations should be made in advance for grouping by sex.
3. Feeding methods
Feeding adopts the method of fixed times and fixed amounts, 3-4 meals per day, fed in the morning, noon and evening. Piglets consume about 0.2 kg of supplementary feed per day and about 1 kg of green feed. Large pigs and sows consume 0.4 kg of supplementary feed per day and about 2 kg of green feed. Where conditions permit, when the weather is clear, after the morning feeding the pigs can be released outdoors to range, preferably to mountain and field areas, allowing them to find food and move on their own. Tibetan fragrant pigs raised extensively in a under-forest farming manner not only have a stronger physique and greatly reduced feeding costs, but also have even more excellent quality. The specific foods that can be fed are as follows:
(1) Bran and middlings feed: Bran and middlings feed includes rice bran, wheat bran, sweet potato vine bran, peanut vine bran, broad bean leaf bran, soybean stalk bran, etc. The amount used for pigs is 10-15% of the total feed, with a maximum of no more than 20%.
(2) Cake and meal feed: Cake and meal feed mainly includes rapeseed cake, peanut cake, cottonseed cake, soybean cake, sesame cake, etc. The proportion of cake feed used for pigs is 10-25% of the total feed. Soybean cake and peanut cake have good nutrition and can be included at 25%. Rapeseed cake and cottonseed cake should be below 10%. Rapeseed cake and cottonseed cake used as feed must first be detoxified, while other cakes only need to be steamed or stir-fried before being mixed for feeding. Cake and meal feed should not be added to piglet feed.
(3) Grain feed: Grain feed includes corn, barley, wheat, sorghum, broad beans, peas, etc. The amount used for pigs is 50% of the total feed, with a maximum of no more than 60%.
(4) Green feed: Green feed includes aquatic duckweed, water lettuce, water hyacinth, water peanut, and the leaves and vines of crops, as well as alfalfa, vetch, etc. This type of feed is green, succulent, nutritious and easy to digest, generally accounting for 40% of the total feed.
(5) Distiller's grains and residue feed: Distiller's grains and residue feed includes distiller's grains, bran residue, vinegar residue, starch residue, bean residue, bagasse, etc. The amount used for pigs is 5-10% of the total feed. Pregnant sows and pigs in the late fattening stage should not be fed distiller's grains. All kinds of grains and residues must be cooked thoroughly before feeding.
