What are the advantages of ecological pig farming? Farmers must understand
There are more and more pig farming models now, and ecological pig farming is one of the more popular farming methods recently. Ecological pig farming is the method of raising pigs using fermentation beds, which improves the pigs' growth capacity, reduces environmental pollution, and lowers farming costs. More and more people are now starting to practice ecological pig farming. So, compared with traditional pig farming methods, what advantages does ecological pig farming have? Let's take a look together below!
1. Reducing pollution
The first advantage of ecological pig farming is that it can effectively reduce farming pollution. When practicing ecological pig farming, there is basically no need to clean up pig manure. Therefore, there is also no phenomenon of flushing pens and producing wastewater, and almost no excrement is produced in the pig farm. It can be said to be a zero-emission farming method. With traditional pig farming methods of the past, the most difficult problem to solve was pig excrement. Improper handling causes very serious environmental pollution, so the reasonable use of ecological pig farming methods can effectively reduce environmental pollution.
2. Improving pork quality
When practicing ecological pig farming, the air quality inside the pig house is very good, and we need to reasonably adjust the farming density according to seasonal changes. When selecting pig breeds, we only need to ensure that the breeds are robust and vigorous. Then, before entering the house, carry out vaccination work according to the specific procedures, and after passing the stable period, put the pigs into a fully fermented pig house. Then in the subsequent farming, basically no medication is needed. This is because there are very many microbial flora in the fermentation bed, which can effectively inhibit the spread of pathogens. Moreover, there is basically no drug residue in the pigs' bodies, so the quality of the pork can also be significantly improved.
3. Reducing farming costs
With fermentation bed ecological pig farming, especially when using microbial technology to raise pigs, compared with traditional pig farming methods, the cost is greatly reduced. In traditional pig farming, for every 1 jin of weight gained by a live pig, about 3.4 jin of feed is consumed. In ecological pig farming, feed consumption can be reduced by about 0.5 jin per pig. Moreover, basically no medication is needed, which reduces medication costs, and epidemic prevention costs also decrease as a result. And there is no need to clean up excrement every day, so labor costs are greatly reduced. There are also various advantages such as saving electricity and water, and farming costs are reduced in every aspect.
The above is a brief introduction to the advantages of ecological pig farming. There are quite a few advantages to ecological pig farming, and the bedding material can be used continuously for about 3 years. And after 3 years, it can also be used as biological fertilizer, and its benefits are very good. That is all for today's introduction.
