What methods are there to increase pig feed intake and shorten the time to market?
What methods can increase pig feed intake and shorten the time to market?
For pig farming, the usual time to market is around 180-200 days, reaching 125KG. But I don't know what problem occurred here; it takes 220 days to reach 125KG (average weight) at market, and at that time each pig eats about 3KG of feed per day on average.
I hope the seniors here can give this junior some advice on what methods can improve this.

Actually, your results are already not bad.
Medium results... should be reaching 105 kg at 180 days of age.
If the subsequent growth rate is 850-900 grams per day,
reaching 125 kg would take 200-210 days of age.
How to shorten the age at market... still needs to be discussed from several parts: pig health, stable environment, breed improvement, and balanced nutrition.
Keep the pigs in a healthy state, without stress that has a negative impact on pig growth.
For breed, choose medium-to-large commercial crossbred varieties, and provide enough water and nutrition.
The impact of high feed intake on market time... still depends on whether the nutritional components inside are balanced and sufficient.

The target weight depends on market demand.
In some areas, they are sent to market at around 200 jin.
In some regions, more than 280-300 jin is required.
The influence of breeding accounts for a certain weight.
