Feeding chives to pigs brings good returns, and farmers may want to give it a try

Pigs 

    Feeding chives to pigs has many benefits. After years of use by specialized pig farmers, the experience is summarized as follows:

    1. Piglet anemia: When the sow is about to farrow, cut 300-500 grams of chives into fine pieces and soak them in boiling water with a lid on. After the piglets are born, feed each one 1 tablespoon, then put them back in the pen to suckle. Before the piglets start eating feed, feed each one 1 tablespoon of the water in which the chives were soaked every other day; after they start eating feed, add a handful of chive leaves to the piglets' feed every day.

    2. Insufficient milk in sows: Use 250-500 grams of chives, 500-1000 grams of sweet fermented rice lees, and 250 grams of small fish. Mash them and mix with boiling water. After it cools to warm, let the sow eat it on her own, once a day, and it will work in 2-3 times.

Chives

    3. Stunted pigs: Add 250 grams of washed and chopped fresh chives to the daily ration of stunted pigs, divided into 2-3 feedings. After 5 days, the stunted pigs' appetite increases noticeably, their coat color becomes glossy, their skin turns red, and they begin to recover from stunting; if you continue to feed each pig 50 grams of fresh chives each time every day, they will gain weight noticeably. This method is more effective for small stunted pigs.

    4. Boars with impotence and spermatorrhea: Stop mating, feed 150-200 grams of fresh chives, twice a day, for 5-7 consecutive days.

    5. Piglet white scour: Use 30 grams of fresh chives, wash and air-dry them, cut them short and mash them, then wrap in gauze. Squeeze out the chive juice and give it in 2 doses. For larger piglets, the daily amount should be doubled. Results can be seen 1 day after feeding, and it can be cured in 2-3 days.
