Feed Restriction for Pigs (Application for Feature)~~

I. Feed restriction methods and precautions. The feed restriction amount should be based on achieving the best feed-to-meat ratio as the consideration criterion. Meat pigs before 50 kg should not use it, and after 50 kg, different feed intake restrictions can be made according to the breed.
Precautions for feed restriction are as follows: pigs in the same pen must be of similar body weight, otherwise it is easy to cause the weak to be preyed upon by the strong; there must be enough feed troughs and pen area so that all pigs can eat feed at the same time (finishing pigs weighing 60-100 kg need an average feed trough length of 30 cm); excessive feed restriction will prolong the age at sale, so the building capacity of the pig house should correspond accordingly; the feed formula should use high-quality raw materials; when implementing feed restriction, the effect is better if boars and sows are raised separately; for those needing feed restriction, boars need it more than sows, and poor breeds need it more than good breeds, and the cool season needs it more than the hot season; if you want to delay sale, the feeding amount can be reduced by about another 5%, but note that if the feed restriction is too severe, weight gain and feed conversion will become worse, and the lean meat percentage will not necessarily increase.
II. Separate feeding of boars and sows. If your pig farm is large enough and management is convenient, you can implement separate feeding of boars and sows. Separate feeding of boars and sows can make your pigs uniform and consistent, and more importantly, the nutritional needs of castrated boars differ from those of sows. By matching different nutritional needs, castrated boars can be given cheaper feed to achieve the purpose of reducing costs.
III. Breeding pig feeding. Breeding pigs should still be fed as before in terms of feed supply, and by no means should poor feed be used or the intake reduced. People with such ideas would be better off not raising pigs at all. Breeding pigs are the locomotive of a pig farm. Feed quality and feeding amount directly affect reproductive performance, and there must not be the slightest shortfall. Otherwise, once reproductive performance declines, the cost shared by each meat pig will instead increase in the end, and it is absolutely not worth the loss.
