What to do if a pig has no appetite? Sharing practical conditioning methods

I. Add a little spice. When a pig has a poor appetite, feeding a little pepper powder, chili, etc. is very effective. Because pepper powder and chili contain a pungent taste and aroma and are stimulating, after a pig eats them, they can increase gastrointestinal secretions, thereby speeding up gastrointestinal motility and improving digestive ability. Especially for lactating sows, adding a small amount of pepper powder and the like to the feed can not only increase the sow's feed intake, but also reduce the incidence of piglets and promote earlier weaning of piglets.

II. Feed a little more sweetness. Add an appropriate amount of saccharin to pig feed. Fattening pigs love to eat it, and after eating it they become plump and strong; lactating sows love it even more, and after eating it their feed intake increases, preventing weight loss, emaciation, and other such phenomena, and it can also increase milk production; piglets like sweetness even more, and not only is the survival rate high, but weaning is early and body weight increases significantly. Generally, add 150-200 mg per kg of feed. If conditions permit, add some white sugar in late spring, late summer, and early autumn, and add some brown sugar in early spring, late autumn, and winter, adding 1-3 g per kg of feed, with a better effect than saccharin.

III. Add a little saltiness. Adding an appropriate amount of salt to the pig's daily ration (no more than 6 g per day) can promote the pig's metabolism and growth and development, increase water intake, improve feed palatability, stimulate appetite, and help digestion.

IV. Do not forget to add a little sourness. Add 10 mL of vinegar per kg of feed (diluting with water is also fine), stir evenly. Not only do pigs love to eat it and it aids digestion, but because vinegar contains nutrients such as amino acids, it is very beneficial to pig growth and development, but the amount added should not be too much.
