Recently many customers have reported that pigs' hair is growing long. What is going on?
Recently many customers have reported that pigs' hair is growing long
Recently, the energy and protein in pig feed formulas have both been increased, but customers report that pigs' hair is growing long. My judgment is that it is mainly caused by the drop in temperature, but it is still not that easy to convince salespeople and customers. Friends who have encountered similar problems, please share your insights?
---------------------
When the temperature drops, maintenance energy increases, so just add energy
---------------------
Hehe, try increasing the trace elements. No one will understand the ups and downs behind this one sentence
---------------------
I have encountered this problem too. Energy is one influencing factor, and I also think the use of high zinc may be a possibility
---------------------
There are quite a few influencing factors, hard to say. Sometimes with the same batch of feed, some customers report long hair, while others do not, which is a real headache
---------------------
It is related to the energy level, and also to the multi-mineral premix. Are you using a high-copper, high-zinc formula?
---------------------
It seems many questions do not have any definitive conclusions. Hehe. I have learned something. Still following this with interest.

Learned something, following!!!!!!!!!!!!

Waiting for an expert to answer!!!!

Look at the content of crystalline amino acids. If it is too high, it can also cause long hair.

It really pays to come to the forum more often~~learning

What stage of pigs are they? If they are piglets around 45 days old, it has a lot to do with the high zinc used in your earlier feed. If not, then it is mainly due to the increase in energy. Growing a bit more hair in winter is a natural phenomenon and also a normal response by which pigs improve their own defensive ability. The main thing is still to see whether there is any change in the pigs' feed-to-meat ratio. That is what really matters!
