How to make pigs fatten quickly

In the 21st century, people's lives are getting better and better, and their demands for food are getting higher and higher, with pork required at almost every meal. This has also driven the rapid development of China's pig farming industry, with more and more pig farmers. Many people want to get ahead of others in fattening their pigs and bring them to market early to improve their market competitiveness. But many friends do not know how to do this, so today the editor is here to solve this problem for you. Let us take a look below at how to make pigs fatten quickly!

1. Dry and wet feed

The advantages of feeding pigs with dry feed are low cost, easy storage, and the leftovers do not spoil easily. Compared with wet feed, it does not make the pig house damp, but the disadvantage is that dry feed tastes too poor and easily picks up dust. Many pigs are unwilling to eat it, and pigs that do eat it easily develop a series of digestive tract diseases. Wet feed tastes better to pigs and is easy to absorb. Generally, mixing dry feed with water makes wet feed, which not only improves the taste but also provides water for the pig's body. So generally speaking, wet feed is better, but care must be taken to clean up leftover residual feed in time to prevent spoilage.

2. Fermented feed

If conditions allow, you can supplement the pigs with some fermented feed, because fermented feed tastes even better than wet feed. Experiments have shown that after eating fermented feed, pigs' feed intake increases noticeably. Fermented feed can also increase the pig's nutrition, promote absorption, and the gastrointestinal tract can be protected by microorganisms, enhancing its own resistance, reducing the incidence of disease, and providing greater guarantees for the healthy growth of pigs.

3. Ensure water supply

Water is the most important point for pigs, especially in summer, when under high temperatures pigs sweat heavily, increasing the rate of water loss in the body. In addition, nutrient transport and blood circulation in the pig's body all require a large amount of water. Sufficient drinking water can ensure the normal development of pigs, allow pigs to metabolize better, promote digestion, and absorb nutrients. Therefore, in daily management, water must always be kept in the trough for pigs to drink freely. In summer, change the water frequently to avoid the water spoiling due to excessively high temperatures.

4. Regular feeding

Many friends feed their pigs at inconsistent times and in different amounts when raising pigs, but feeding at fixed times and in fixed amounts, so that pigs develop good eating habits, is very beneficial for fattening. It allows pigs to maintain a full appetite for eating each time, but the feed must also be supplied sufficiently to ensure every pig can eat its fill; otherwise it is not conducive to the pigs putting on fat and affects the growth of pigs that have not eaten enough.

5. Pig disease prevention and control

Only when pigs are in good health can they fatten well. Only a healthy constitution allows pigs to absorb nutrients best, so pigs must be strictly monitored. Moldy feed must not be fed to pigs, to prevent respiratory and digestive tract diseases in pigs. No matter what disease it is, it will affect the pig's appetite and affect fattening. Therefore, the pig house must be kept clean and hygienic, all sources of pathogens must be eliminated, and vaccinations must be given regularly to reduce the incidence of disease.

If you want pigs to fatten and put on weight quickly and then be brought to market, you can refer to the above points. The most important one is still the last point. Actually, diseases are also an old topic that is often talked about, but they are indeed the issue that most needs attention. Otherwise, when everything has been done well and you are just about to bring the pigs to market, a sudden disease breaks out, and in the end it is all wasted effort and everything is in vain. So everyone should still pay close attention to the condition of the pigs, and any abnormal situation must be dealt with promptly!
