Feeding and Management Methods and Technical Key Points for Replacement Boars
How to Manage Replacement Boars
1. Group management. To make replacement pigs grow and develop evenly and uniformly, males and females can be separated and raised in pens according to body weight, with 4-6 pigs per pen. Too high a density easily leads to vicious habits such as tail biting and ear biting.
2. Exercise. Where conditions permit, moderate exercise can be provided to keep them physically healthy, with balanced body development and flexible, firm limbs.
3. Training. Replacement pigs should have their training and management strengthened from a young age, a harmonious relationship between people and pigs should be established, and good daily routines should be cultivated. For sensitive areas such as the base of the ears, the sides of the belly and the udder, touching training should be carried out. When replacement boars reach maturity, they should be raised in individual pens.
