Key Points on Feed and Feeding Management Techniques for Pigs
1. Reasonable grouping: group reasonably according to individual size, physical condition and characteristics, with moderate density, neither too large nor too small;
2. Do a good job in training: (1) Prevent the strong from snatching food from the weak, help establish a social order, and arrange them separately so they can eat evenly. (2) Fix the living location, so that eating, sleeping and defecating are in three fixed places, and keep the pen dry and clean. (3) Provide sufficient drinking water and reasonably match the daily ration. (4) Deworm regularly.
Special wild boars have a wide source of feed and are resistant to coarse feed, and the feed cost is only 40%-50% of that of domestic pigs. The formulas for different pigs are as follows:
Breeding boar formula: corn 30%, wheat bran 15%, rice bran 20%, fish meal 5%, salt 0.3%, sweet potato or pumpkin 30%, (Chinese cabbage, kohlrabi and carrot are all acceptable).
Sow formula: corn 20%, rice bran 30%, coarse bran 15%, sweet potato or pumpkin 30%, salt 0.4%.
Piglet formula: corn 30%, wheat bran 15%, rice bran 10%, wheat middlings 20%, fish meal 5%, pumpkin 20%, salt 0.3%.
The above formulas can be appropriately adjusted according to their feeding effects: (substitutes may be used for the missing feed varieties, such as sweet potato and potato in place of pumpkin).
