What to do if pigs excrete everywhere? Detailed solutions for pig farmers
Pigs are creatures that do not excrete in fixed spots; more often than not, their excretion is based on smell, and as long as they catch the scent of pig manure they will consider it a place where they can excrete. So in many cases pig pens are extremely dirty and messy, so how can pigs be made to excrete in one fixed spot? Let us at QinNong Network introduce it to everyone below.
1. Feed lure method
This is a method that consumes a relatively large amount of feed, and once the habit is formed later there will not be much waste. First clean the pig pen thoroughly, then scatter a little feed in the pig pen; except for the excretion spot you want to designate, put a little everywhere else, because pigs will not excrete where they eat. In this way the whole pig pen has no feed except the spot you designated, and the pigs will slowly go over there to excrete; after a long time they will form a habit, and the pig manure and such in the pen will be concentrated in one place.
2. Chemical stimulation method
This is mostly carried out based on the pig's sense of smell, using some chemicals with irritating gases to cover up the smell of pig manure, then at the designated spot using fresh pig manure to remind the pigs of the excretion spot, so the pigs will follow the smell to the designated spot to excrete. For the irritating chemicals you can choose some disinfectants, which can also sterilize. But when choosing, everyone must be clear about whether this will harm the pig's body, so as to avoid the pigs being harmed because of it.
3. Isolation and spot-fixing method
The effect of this one will have a certain gap relatively, and the method is rather troublesome to carry out. First you must isolate the place where the pigs excrete, or set up and place some things there that pigs like to root at, then at the designated spot use pig manure to remind the pigs to go there, so that when the pigs cannot excrete freely they will choose to go to the designated spot to excrete. With this method, note that the isolation items must not be easily knocked over by the pigs; for the placed bags you can choose some fresh plants, but they must be replaced in time.
4. Hydrotherapy method
This is currently a relatively rare one, and it is based on the pig's daily habits. Pigs are creatures that relatively like to excrete at damp wall corners with the smell of feces, and this method is aimed at exactly that. Place a water pipe at the place where the pigs excrete, and it will release water from time to time, so the place where the pigs excrete will be very moist; added to that there is the smell of feces, and the pigs will go to the designated spot to excrete. And even if the pigs roll around on the feces you need not worry, as the water can also wash it away.
The above are some methods that can solve pigs excreting everywhere; this can effectively ensure the sanitation of the pig pen, improve the pigs' living environment, and reduce the probability of pigs getting sick. In daily life everyone can use the above methods in combination to achieve the effect they want.
