What to Do About Pigs' Bad Habits? Introduction to Clever Solutions
Pen escaping: Trim the upper eyelashes of a pen-escaping pig short, and trim them again once they grow long. This way, when the pig raises its head to escape the pen, its eyes will be irritated by wind, light, and dust, creating a sense of fear. After several times, the pig will no longer escape the pen.
Wall chewing: Pigs often chew walls because of insufficient salt intake. Generally, the salt content in the diet of 60-90 kg fattening pigs should reach 0.25%, and the salt content in the diet of breeding boars should reach 0.35%.
Biting and fighting: When pigs from different pens are housed together, biting and fighting often occur. If you first drive the pigs originally in the pen out of the pen, spray the pen with baijiu, and also spray the same baijiu on the pigs, then drive them back into the pen, biting and fighting will no longer occur.
Chick eating: For pigs that often eat chicks and ducklings, you can roast a small pinch of chicken feathers until brown, grind them into a fine powder, then put it into a paper tube and blow it into the pig's nostrils. After that, when the pig sees chicks, ducklings, and other young birds again, it will "retreat three she" (keep well away).
