CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Correct use and precautions of concentrated pig feed

What is concentrated pig feed

Concentrated pig feed is a specially processed and concentrated animal feed with high protein and nutrient content, which can provide rich nutrition for pigs. Compared with traditional feed, concentrated pig feed has higher energy density, better digestion and absorption effect, and can improve the growth rate and feed conversion rate of pigs.

Steps to correctly use concentrated pig feed

1. Choose the right concentrated pig feed variety: Choose the right concentrated pig feed variety based on the pig’s growth stage and target weight. The feed formulas of different varieties will be reasonably adjusted based on the pig’s needs.
2. Reasonable determination of feeding amount: According to the weight and growth stage of the pig, the reasonable amount of feed should be accurately calculated, not too much or too little. Excessive feed will increase the pig's energy intake and cause digestive problems, while too little feed will affect the normal growth of the pig.
3. Allocate reasonable feeding times: According to the pig's hunger and digestion conditions, allocate reasonable feeding times. Generally speaking, feed 3-4 times a day, and each feeding time is controlled at about 30-60 minutes.
4. Use with other feeds: When using concentrated pig feed, other feeds such as roughage, vitamins, minerals, etc. can be appropriately used to provide comprehensive nutrition. The proportion of different feeds can be adjusted according to specific circumstances.
5. Pay attention to the drinking water supply: Reasonable drinking water supply is essential for the digestion, absorption, growth and development of pigs. Make sure there is always enough clean drinking water in the pig house and keep the water clean and fresh.
6. Carry out routine observation and inspection: Regularly observe the pigs' diet, weight gain, feces, and daily physical condition. If any abnormality is found, adjust the feed formula or seek medical treatment in time.

Precautions for concentrated pig feed

• Storage conditions: Concentrated pig feed should be stored in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight and high temperature and humidity environment which may cause feed deterioration.
• Feed additives: According to the needs of pigs, appropriate amounts of feed additives, such as sterilizers, probiotics, etc., can be added when using concentrated pig feed to enhance the antibacterial ability and nutrient absorption effect of the feed.
• Feed conversion: If it is necessary to change the type of concentrated pig feed, the feed conversion should be carried out gradually to avoid sudden changes that may cause shock to the pig's digestive system.
• Feeding equipment: Using appropriate feeding equipment, such as automatic feeders, waterers, etc., can improve feeding efficiency and resource utilization.

The correct use and precautions of concentrated pig feed are crucial to the health and growth of pigs. Reasonable formula and feeding management can improve the production performance and economic benefits of pigs. At the same time, timely observation and adjustment can prevent digestive problems and diseases in pigs. I hope that through the introduction and guidance of this article, it can help readers use concentrated pig feed correctly and achieve good breeding results.
