Pig breeding should pay attention to what?

Generally speaking, the health management of pig breeding should follow two principles, one is the principle of self-reproduction and self-support, and the other is the principle of all-in and all-out.

Insisting on self-breeding is a very important link to prevent the entry of external diseases. Through self-breeding, the risk of introducing diseases when introducing pig breeds from the outside can be reduced.

However, it is difficult to achieve complete self-reproduction and self-support in daily breeding. When animals must be introduced from other farms or trading markets, the following aspects need to be paid attention:

1. must be introduced from places where there is no epidemic, and must pass the quarantine inspection of the local animal epidemic prevention supervision agency.

2. introduced animals must be isolated for observation15More than days, to ensure that the introduction of animal health and disease-free, can enter.

3. introduced animals should be vaccinated in isolation and observed, and a comprehensive deworming.

You have certainly heard a lot about the principle of all-in and all-out, and ordinary pig farms can also do it. The so-called full-in and full-out means that only the same batch of pigs in the same growth stage are raised in a shed, and it is forbidden to mix different batches of pigs in different growth stages together. The advantage of all-in and all-out is not only to prevent the spread of disease, but also to facilitate the thorough cleaning and disinfection of the shed.

In addition to the above two principles, in the daily feeding and management of pigs, the health management of feed and drinking water is also a link worthy of farmers' attention.

The preparation of feed should be reasonable. Under the condition of ensuring adequate nutrition, the feed raw materials should be safe and hygienic, and do not contain toxic, harmful or moldy substances. The feed room should be dry and tidy to prevent the feed from being damp and moldy. The feed room should have good sealing performance to prevent mosquitoes, rats, ants and other sick animals from entering and leaving, so as not to pollute the feed. Pay attention to the shelf life of the feed, and do not feed the feed close to the shelf life or past the shelf life.

Water is the source of life, for animals as well. The quality of drinking water directly affects the health, quality and ultimate benefit of pigs. To achieve safe drinking water need to pay attention to the following three points:

First, ensure that the water source is sufficient and cannot be cut off for a long time.

Second, ensure the cleanliness and sanitation of drinking water, and the water source should meet the drinking water standard.

Third, drinking water, water pipes, pools, etc. should be cleaned and disinfected frequently to keep the utensils clean.

Finally, we should pay attention to two points is the environmental health management of breeding places.

Environmental hygiene is very important for keeping pigs healthy. To ensure the air quality of the shed, to clean the shed and facilities on time, to clean up the feces in time, and to prohibit the breeders from running away are the basis for ensuring environmental hygiene. In addition, the basic requirements of keeping warm in winter and heatstroke prevention and environmental sanitation management in summer.

The roads in the farm should also be separated from the clean road and the polluted road. Clean roads refer to vehicles that only transport feed and employees when walking to and from work, while polluted roads are dedicated passages for pulling feces and dead animals.
