The role and advantages of sow concentrate feedSow concentrate is a processed and concentrated feed specially designed to improve the production performance of sows. Its main ingredients include nutrients such as cereals, soybean meal, amino acids, vitamins and minerals. Using sow concentrate can improve the feed conversion rate of sows, increase the number of piglets and the survival rate of piglets, and at the same time reduce the incidence of diseases and improve the immunity of sows. Correct use of sow concentrate1. Determine the appropriate amount: Calculate the amount of concentrate based on the sow's weight, growth stage and other nutrients in the feed. It is usually recommended that the proportion of concentrate in the feed be 10%~20%. 2. Gradual introduction: When starting to use sow concentrate, its proportion in the feed should be gradually increased to adapt to the sow's digestive system. When starting to use, the proportion of concentrate can be set at 5%, and then gradually increased by 1% to 2% every other week until the appropriate proportion is reached. 3. Evenly mix: Evenly mix the sow concentrate and other feeds to ensure that each portion of feed contains enough concentrate. You can use a special feed mixer or mix it manually, but make sure it is evenly mixed. 4. Feeding time and frequency: According to the growth status and farrowing plan of the sow, the feeding time and frequency should be reasonably arranged. Generally, it is recommended to divide the feeding time into two times, one in the morning and one in the evening, and the feeding amount each time should be adjusted according to the needs of the sow. 5. Combined with other feeds: Sow concentrate is only a part of the feed. In order to provide comprehensive nutrition, it should also be combined with other feeds, such as grains, soybean meal, etc. When combining feeds, it is necessary to make reasonable combinations according to the nutritional needs of sows to ensure balanced nutrition. Precautions for sow concentrate feed1. Storage: Sow concentrate should be stored in a dry, ventilated, cool place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. It should be used up as soon as possible after opening to avoid exposure to air and causing mold. 2. Formula adjustment: According to the sow's growth stage and changes in nutritional needs, breeders should adjust the formula of sow concentrate feed in time to ensure comprehensive nutritional provision. 3. Reduce stress: The use of sow concentrate can improve the immunity of sows, but the pig house environment still needs attention to reduce the presence of stress factors and maintain a good breeding environment. The correct use and precautions of sow concentrate are very important for improving the production performance and health of sows.
