Introduction of skills and methods of raising pigs in summer

1, Shading in summer: It is hot in summer, and most of the rural areas are open pig houses, but pigs are prone to heatstroke because of their thick subcutaneous fat and underdeveloped sweat glands. Therefore, farmers can build temporary sheds for pig houses to prevent direct sunlight and achieve the purpose of shading from the sun and summer.

2. Cooling of the pigsty: the ground and walls in the pigsty can be washed with cold water to reduce the temperature of the pigsty; You can open all the ventilation holes in the pigsty and ventilate the surroundings of the pigsty, which can reduce the temperature of the pigsty and make the pigs cool and comfortable.

3, bathing to cool down: bathing pigs with water can help pigs dissipate heat. Be careful not to wash the pig head suddenly with water to prevent the blood vessels in the pig head from contracting strongly and going into shock; You can also dig a shallow pool in the corner of the pigsty, pour clean water and let the pigs soak in the pool to dissipate heat.

4, drinking water temperature adjustment: drink more water in hot weather. Water in pigs accounts for one-third to one-half of their body weight. In summer, the daily water consumption of pigs is 23.8% of their own, and they can drink 0.5% salt water, which can regulate their body temperature.

5, drinks to cool off the heat: you can feed pigs some vinegar or sauerkraut juice, white lentils, mung bean soup, watermelon peel juice, etc. every day. Acetic vegetable juice can stimulate appetite, white lentils can relieve summer heat and strengthen stomach, mung bean soup can clear heat, and watermelon peel juice can clear heat.

6. Adjust feed structure: In order to keep the appetite of pigs in a good state, adjust the daily feed structure of pigs, reduce energy feed and increase green feed. The best is 50% energy feed and 50% green feed.

7. Adjust the feeding time: Because of the high temperature during the day, the pig's appetite is not good, so it can be fed at night, at 7: 00 pm, 1 1, and at 4: 00 am, in three times. During the day, you can feed it with salt water and green juicy feed, so that the pig will not lose weight, but also grow meat.

8. Reduce the breeding density: If the breeding density is too high, the pig's breathing and body surface heat dissipation will make the heat higher and higher, which will easily lead to the possibility of collective heatstroke, so it is necessary to appropriately reduce the breeding density.
