Finishing pigs are the best management stage for a breeding farm. They are the stage where the pigs have the lowest requirements for environmental conditions and the last rushing stage for the farms to make money. The performance of finishing pigs determines the profitability of a farm. How many. However, under normal circumstances, pig farms often focus on the management of sows, breeders or suckling pigs, rather than the management of finishing pigs. For example, the finishing facilities in most pig farms are the simplest, and the value of the feed is also the lowest. Sometimes moldy feeds are even fed to finishing pigs. This may result in slow growth rates and increased incidence of fattening pigs.

There are two major types of diseases that currently occur in fattening pigs: respiratory disease syndromes and diarrhea caused by various causes (mainly colitis, swine dysentery, colitis, ileitis, salmonella enteritis, etc.). In addition, swine fever, toxoplasmosis, atrophic rhinitis, etc. often occur in certain pig farms. If the management of fattening pigs is not strengthened, the occurrence of these diseases will not only affect the sales of breeding pigs, but also affect the species. There will also be a vicious circle in the management of farms.

Because of the need to strengthen the feeding and management of the finishing pigs, it is not possible to negligence at this stage and cause unnecessary losses.

First, the nutritional ratio of the feed ratio

The cost of feed for growing pigs accounts for nearly 70% of the total feed cost of the pig farm. Therefore, it is most practical to save feed during the fattening phase. However, pigs in the finishing phase have a fast growth rate and the development of the body and internal organs is not coordinated. Its nutritional needs are high. If nutrition is not sufficient at this time, problems such as low immunity are likely to occur. In particular, breeding pigs can reduce the feed intake of pigs during transit or long-distance transportation. At this time, the pigs have higher demand for nutrients, especially vitamins. For example, no increase in nutrition of finishing pigs will result in relative nutrition. lack of. The feed intake during the fattening stage is the largest, and the feed conversion rate will directly affect the feed consumption and economic benefits of the entire farm. It is not the cheaper the feed is, the more money it saves. The key is to ensure the quality of the feed, paying particular attention to mycotoxin contamination. If pigs are affected by feed or their growth is hindered, which will affect the economics of the breeding farms, it will not be worth the loss.

Second, all in and out of the feeding and management mode

All-in and all-out is an important way to control infectious diseases on a farm. Most of the breeding farms are designed according to the all-in, all-out model, but when the efficiency of raising pigs is good, blindly expanding the group will lead to an increase in density. If it is not possible to fully enter the farm, it will easily result in the construction of pig houses. Disease cycle. Because the pigs left in the pig house are often poorly growing pigs, sick pigs or pathogen carriers. After the next batch of pigs come in, these pigs can be used as a source of infection to infect new pigs. It may be sick, grow slowly, or become a hog pig, and it will stay in the colony and become a new source of infection.

If the farm can achieve all-in and full-out, these phenomena will be avoided and the unnecessary losses caused by these negative effects to the farm will be reduced.

Third, strengthen feeding management

Now the management of breeding pigs also promotes humanistic management. Pigs are very clever animals. Only providing the most comfortable growth environment for pigs and treating the pigs well can they fully realize their production potential and achieve the best feed conversion rate, so that pigs The field achieves maximum economic benefits.

First of all, it is necessary to ensure a certain stocking density. If the density is too high, the pigs are easy to fight and prone to horizontal transmission of diseases, especially respiratory diseases. If a reasonable density is maintained, the disease that spreads directly through mouth-to-mouth contact, such as PRRSV, is less likely to develop. It will not be transmitted from one pig house to another through the air, nor will it be transmitted from a pig farm. Go to another farm. Therefore, maintaining a reasonable stocking density will effectively reduce the occurrence of some diseases and thus increase the economic efficiency of the farm.

Secondly, ventilation should be strengthened because the diseases during the fattening stage are mainly respiratory diseases, and their occurrence is closely related to the quality of air. The air quality is related to the concentration of dust, ammonia, and other harmful gases. Dust can carry a large amount of bacteria and viruses. Without timely ventilation, dirty air is easily inhaled by pigs and is easily deposited in the lungs, causing illness.

In the hot summer, cooling is a key management measure. There are many ways to reduce the temperature, conditional pig farms can use water curtain cooling, unconditional pig farms can consider the roof spray, outdoor shade nets, and some farms use spray, shower and other methods, the purpose is to improve pigs The degree of comfort increases feed intake.

The feed quality is not good, or the design of the feed trough is unreasonable. Pigs easily arch the feed and cause waste. Therefore, the irrationality of the pig farm facilities also makes it difficult for pigs to feed properly and ultimately affects economic efficiency.

Ensuring that the finishing pigs drink enough water, especially during hot summer months, can reduce the pig's stress response. When the height of the drinking fountain is not appropriate, plugging, the pressure of the water pipe is low, and the water flow is slow, the water consumption of the pig will be affected. In the feeding process of the pig, the water shortage is more serious than the lack of material.

Fourth, a reasonable method of drug use

The use of drugs during the fattening phase should comply with national laws and regulations, and illegal drugs should not be added. The drug withdrawal period must also be observed. Long-term drug use and blind drug use are neither safe nor economical. We must maximize the efficacy of the drug under the premise of following the rules of medication.

After the pigs are transferred from the nursery house to the finishing house, one week of drug can be added continuously to the feed. For example, 80% of the original net of 125 g, 15% of chlortetracycline, 2 kg or 10% of doxycycline is added per ton of feed. Kilograms can effectively control sepsis caused by infection after the colony or respiratory diseases in finishing pigs. This combination also prevents or even treats swine dysentery and colitis. Whether it is respiratory disease or colitis, it will cause slow growth and feed conversion rate of fattening pigs, resulting in the growth of the finishing pigs. The slaughter time is different, it is difficult to achieve all-in, all-out, and ultimately affect economic efficiency.

For the pigs in the finishing stage, the introduced customers should first let the breeding pigs drink water after long-distance transportation to the site, and add electrolysis multidimensional in the drinking water for 3 consecutive days in order to improve its resistance; add 80% of the original net of 125 grams per ton of feed, 10% florfenicol 600g ~ 800g, once every 7 days - 10 days, can reduce the incidence of respiratory diseases and colitis.


Products collected from living horses include mare's milk, used by people with large horse herds, such as the Mongols, who let it ferment to produce kumis. Horse blood was once used as food by the Mongols and other nomadic tribes, who found it a convenient source of nutrition when traveling. Drinking their own horses' blood allowed the Mongols to ride for extended periods of time without stopping to eat.The drug Premarin is a mixture of estrogens extracted from the urine of pregnant mares (pregnant mares' urine), and was previously a widely used drug for hormone replacement therapy.The tail hair of horses can be used for making bows for string instruments such as the violin, viola, cello, and double bass. They are also used for shaving and cosmetics products. Tetanus vaccines are still made from the blood of immunized horses.
