Basic knowledge of pig farming Basic knowledge
1. The optimal temperature range for pig farming is 1625 degrees Celsius. This is because pigs cannot regulate their body temperature by themselves, and too high or too low temperatures will affect their health and productivity.
2. Newborn piglets should weigh more than 1.1 kg to survive. Piglets below this weight are prone to illness or death.
3. The gestation period of sows is 114 days. During this period, special attention should be paid to the diet and care of sows to ensure the health of the fetus.
4. Pigs need plenty of clean water and high-fiber feed to stay healthy. The supply of drinking water and feed should always be maintained at an adequate level.
5. Pigs need to get enough exercise and rest to stay healthy. Improper cages and inappropriate cage conditions can cause fatigue and stress in pigs.
6. Pigs should be cleaned once a day. Cleaning includes cleaning toilets, cleaning stocking areas and changing bedding, which helps reduce the spread of germs and keeps the environment clean.
7. Pigs need to be vaccinated to ensure their health. Vaccination plans should be formulated according to growth stages and production conditions.
8. Pigs have a very keen sense of smell, so any irritants should be avoided from entering their living environment.
9. Pigs should be checked regularly, including checking ear holes, hooves, breathing, body temperature and other indicators. This helps to detect health problems early.
10. Interaction and communication between pigs are important for their growth and behavior. Socialization and games can promote the happiness and stability of the pig herd.
