How to de-stunt runt pigs in the Year of the Pig and help them resume growth?
In the production process of @#@227@#@, due to various reasons, some runt pigs (commonly called little old-man pigs) often appear or form. Some of these pigs eat little and grow slowly; others eat but do not grow at all. This affects the economic benefits of pig farming. 2007 is the Year of the Pig. In order to help everyone make money from pigs in the Year of the Pig, the methods for de-stunting are introduced as follows:
Deworming and clearing the stomach: trichlorfon at 0.017 g per kg of body weight, administered orally once, once a day, for three consecutive days. Two days after deworming, take 1 kg of quicklime, dissolve it in 5 kg of water, and use the supernatant of the limewater to mix with feed to feed the pigs, once a day, for five consecutive days, in order to clear worm eggs and various toxins from the gastrointestinal tract.
Strengthening the stomach and promoting digestion: To thoroughly de-stunt runt pigs, a major breakthrough must be made in digestive function. Use 1 tablet of rhubarb soda per kg of body weight (content 0.3 g), with no more than 10 tablets per pig, grind into powder and mix with feed for oral feeding, once a day, for five consecutive days to strengthen the stomach. At the same time, use 50 g each of hawthorn, malt, and medicated leaven each time, decoct the juice and mix with feed for feeding, once a day, for five consecutive days to promote digestion. Experiments have shown that runt pigs treated in this way have a strong appetite and greatly enhanced digestive function.
Feeding soybeans soaked in urine: Keep the bottom section of a moso bamboo tube, put 200 soybeans into the bamboo tube, then fill it with human urine, soak for one day and one night, and feed it all at once on an empty stomach in the morning. The pig tube can continue to soak soybeans; 1 kg of soybeans can feed one pig for three months.
Subcutaneous injection of vitamin AD drops behind the ear base: 5 mL each time (each mL contains 1500 units of vitamin A and 300 units of vitamin D), inject once a week, for three consecutive times.
Add "stone-sulfur-salt": that is, equal amounts of quicklime, sulfur, and table salt. First stir-fry the table salt until yellow, then add quicklime and stir-fry for 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and let cool, then add sulfur, grind together into powder, and bottle for later use. For those under 25 kg of body weight, feed 5 g to 8 g per day; for those over 25 kg, feed 10 g to 15 g per day, until slaughter. This not only supplements minerals but also stimulates appetite, and is an indispensable important measure for fattening runt pigs.
Feeding a combination of concentrated and roughage: To exercise their gastrointestinal tract, feed some green grass, wild vegetables, vegetable leaves, bran and other green roughage. First chop the green fodder, crush the dry roughage, then mix it with concentrated feed in proportion and feed. It is best to also add 0.4% oxytetracycline powder to the compound feed to enhance disease resistance.
