How to raise Yorkshire pigs well? Detailed explanation of breeding methods and techniques

The Yorkshire pig is also called the Large White pig. The pigs you generally see on TV are usually this kind, and it is currently the most common pig breed raised in our country, as well as one of the main sources of meat. Some friends do not know how to raise Yorkshire pigs so that they become as big and healthy as those on TV. Today Qinnong.com will share some breeding experience with everyone.

1. Construction of the pigpen

Usually when people raise pigs, they do not pay much attention to the pigpen, generally believing that as long as the pigpen is cleaned and there is a place to feed them, that is enough. Actually, this is not the case; pigpens have their particular requirements. First, Yorkshire pigs are very sensitive to light. Generally, when there is light they tend to be more active, which is not good for fattening, so the light should be dimmer. Second, Yorkshire pigs rely on their noses to smell the odor of food to determine where the food is. Generally, if the food being fed gives off a stronger smell, they will eat relatively more. Finally, the ground should remain relatively dry and not too wet, as this will affect the health of Yorkshire pigs. Generally, if it is a cement floor, some dry grass can be placed on it.

2. Feeding management

Yorkshire pigs are very strongly omnivorous and will not refuse anything. So people often find when feeding them that they eat less and less, and then slowly return to normal. Actually, this is because everyone has long controlled the feed ratio within one range, causing their gastrointestinal absorption to gradually become a constant speed. So when feeding, everyone should adjust the dry-to-wet ratio of the feed from time to time. It is best to occasionally feed some raw crops for a period, such as sweet potatoes and the like, to stimulate the gastrointestinal tract and enhance the absorption capacity of Yorkshire pigs. In this way, the fattening speed will be much faster.

3. Details of daily management

Many people think that the fatter the meat pig, the better, and thus neglect the health of the Yorkshire pig. In fact, when everyone finds that some pigs gradually get used to lying down all day, but wobble when they stand up, then you should pay attention: this pig has developed obesity and can easily suffocate. If it cannot even stand steadily, how can you expect it to be very healthy? So in daily feeding, do not put in excess feed. If conditions permit, everyone can occasionally let the pigs out to move around; pigs like this will be more energetic.

Now everyone's pig-raising techniques are about the same. If we want to raise them better than others, we must start from the details. People sometimes also go to learn how others raise pigs, but these sensitive points will not be mentioned by others; everyone has to dig them out themselves. I hope the above things bring everyone good results. Look for Qinnong.com!
