Why is feeding pigs dry feed good? An analysis of the reasons

Livestock Farming 0 views
Many pig-farming practices have shown that feeding pigs thin, watery feed seriously affects digestion and absorption, leading to dry dung, red eyes, reduced frequency of defecation, weakened intestinal peristalsis, and slow pig growth. It follows that pigs are best fed raw dry powder feed, allowing them to eat freely, with a separate water trough for drinking, or fed a thick mash with a feed-to-water ratio of 1:1. This prevents the feed from freezing in winter and spoiling in summer, and lets the pigs eat their fill and grow fast.
