How to reduce the cost of pig feed

For the pig industry, it must be the "input" linked to the produced goods to be called "feeding cost". Therefore, the "input" of how much money is spent in the production process is not a cost, but only one of the elements of cost composition. Input must be linked with output (commodity) to calculate the cost. The correct cost expression should be: input-output = cost.

The conservation of pig farm resources mainly includes the conservation of hydropower energy, various drugs and feed raw materials. The saving of hydropower mainly depends on production technology, production equipment and strengthening the administrative management of pig farms. The increase of pig income mainly depends on the saving of veterinary drugs and feed.

1, take effective measures to prevent diseases.

Before entering the pig every time, carry out strict high-pressure cleaning and routine disinfection on the equipment and ground, and the drying time after disinfection shall not be less than 7 days.

2. Improve feed utilization rate

The use of feed additives can significantly improve the effective utilization rate of dietary nutrients, reduce nutrient excretion, promote the rapid growth of pigs and prevent diseases. The types of additives include mildewproof agents, acid preparations, antibiotics, microbial preparations, trace elements, amino acids, antibacterial Chinese herbal medicines, plant active ingredient extracts and so on. Feed additives should be used within the shelf life, and those with obvious use effect and strong stability should be selected.

3. Reduce feed waste

According to the experience of pig technology network, feed accounts for about 69%~83% of the total cost of pig production. Feed waste is a common problem in most pig farms, generally accounting for 3%~5% of the total consumption. A 10000 pig farm with an annual output needs 8 tons of feed every day, wasting 240-400 kilograms of feed every day and losing about 200,000 yuan every year.

Too much feeding is easy to be arched out of the tank by pigs, resulting in feed waste.

4. Make full use of rural feed resources.

It is necessary to make full use of all kinds of feed resources in rural areas and raise pigs with high-quality pastures, such as rice, sweet potatoes, barley, Chinese milk vetch, vegetables and wild forage grass. So as to ensure the nutritional requirements and reduce the cost of raising pigs. According to the calculation, when pigs are fed with mixed feed, the feed-to-meat ratio is 2.8 ∶ 1 or 3∶ 1, while when pigs are fed with single corn or rice, they need to consume 6 ~ 7 kilograms of corn or rice for each gain 1 kg.

5. Influence of pig breeds on cost

Excellent varieties grow fast, feed reward is high and cost is low; On the contrary, local varieties are higher.

6. Influence of feeding management.

The location should be a place with convenient transportation, warm in winter and cool in summer, and easy access to water and electricity, which can appropriately reduce production costs; Scientific feeding includes scientific ingredients, reasonable feeding methods and early feeding of piglets.

Strengthen management, including timely breeding, reasonable grouping, cold and warmth, heatstroke prevention and cooling. , directly affect the level of production costs.

7, disease prevention and control

It is understood that the normal cost of prevention, deworming and quarantine for 1 pig is 17 yuan-20 yuan. If an epidemic occurs, it will increase medical expenses and increase costs. Generally, the morbidity of fattening pigs in better farms is about 5%, and the mortality is about 2%. The morbidity of piglets was 12% ~ 15%, and the mortality was 7% ~ 8%. Therefore, prevention and control of epidemic diseases, reducing morbidity and mortality, can reduce production costs. At the same time, if the country can reduce epidemic prevention fees and quarantine fees, it can also reduce production costs and increase aquaculture income.

8. Slaughter in time

The growth law of pigs is slow in the early stage, fast in the middle stage and slow in the late stage. Feed reward is high in the early stage and low in the later stage. Pigs are mainly fed with deposited fat, which consumes a lot of materials. However, if you slaughter early, the slaughter rate is not high and the meat quality is not good. When the pig's weight reaches 90 ~ 100 kg, it is more suitable for slaughter.

In addition, to effectively reduce the cost of raising pigs, we should also pay attention to the following aspects:

1, according to the growth and development characteristics of pigs, the formulation of cheap feed suitable for this area can reduce the feed cost.

2. Carrying out self-propagation and self-feeding can reduce the fattening cost of weaned piglets, reduce the occurrence of epidemic diseases, and thus reduce the feeding cost.

3. Using scientific management technology to create suitable conditions for pig growth and fattening, speed up the growth of pigs and shorten the feeding cycle, which can relatively reduce the feeding cost.

4. Looking for feed substitutes to raise pigs with sugar residue. Sugar residue is a by-product of glucose plant, which has good palatability to animals and good feeding effect. Corn sugar residue is rich in protein, fat, glucose, vitamins and crude fiber. It is an ideal raw material for raising livestock and poultry. Chicken manure fermentation can also raise pigs. Fermented chicken manure can effectively inhibit the growth and spread of pathogenic microorganisms, improve the ecological environment, enhance the physique of pigs, and greatly reduce the cost of veterinary drugs.

5. Fermentation Bed The fermentation bed for raising pigs is built with some efficient and beneficial microorganisms and padding in the pigsty. Pigs discharge their excrement directly to the fermentation bed. Pig manure, urine and fillers are fully mixed by using pig's digging habits and artificial auxiliary harrowing. Through the decomposition and fermentation of beneficial fermented microbial flora, the organic matter is fully decomposed and transformed, which enhances the disease resistance of pigs and improves the feeding income.

Formula for reducing the cost of raising pigs:

1, introduce excellent breeding pigs and conduct self-breeding.

2, scientific management, reduce disease and waste.

3. Choose high-quality feed and mix it scientifically.

4, improve hardware facilities, improve production efficiency.
