Precautions for raising pigs in summer

2019-04-24

1, heatstroke cooling

Before the summer heat comes, build a pergola or sunshade wall around the enclosure to cover the sun and avoid direct sunlight. You can also plant the vines around the pig house to make them grow up and cover the shed or the sun visor. Reduce the temperature of the pig house and reduce heat radiation. Trim a layer of foam ceiling in the pig house to provide heat insulation. At the highest temperature at noon, the water can be cooled by spraying water on the pig, the ground or the wall. These methods can alleviate the heatstroke.
2, sanitation

Summer is the peak season for mosquitoes and flies, and the environment of high temperature and high humidity, the smell of pig houses is not easy to ask, but also easy to breed bacteria, which has a bad impact on the sanitary environment of the pig house. Poor hygiene, slow growth of pigs, and easy to get sick, it is difficult to prevent disease on the farm. Therefore, hygiene is extremely important. It is necessary to regularly clean the inside and outside of the pig house and feed the food utensils, especially the dead corner. Many bacteria and microbes can not be completely eliminated, so disinfection is required. Usually, the culture is a small-scale regular disinfection, but it is necessary to disinfect large-scale and thoroughly.
3, pay attention to the density of breeding

If the breeding density is too high, the breathing of the pigs and the heat dissipation of the body surface will make the heat higher and higher, which is likely to cause the possibility of collective heatstroke and disease. Therefore, the density of the breeding in summer is very important, and the stocking density should be appropriately reduced.
4, feeding water

When the temperature is high, the pig's appetite is not good, and the feed intake is reduced. Therefore, pay attention to the time and method when feeding. Feeding should improve the ratio of sperm feeding and feed more vitamins and minerals. Try to avoid the high temperature stage when feeding. It can feed in the morning and evening, and feed at low temperature at noon, so it can grow quickly in summer. In addition, the drinking water must be sufficient. The pigs are mainly evaporative and heat-dissipating at high temperature. The adequate and cool drinking water is one of the methods of heatstroke prevention. In addition, an appropriate amount of salt can be added to the drinking water, and the salt can regulate the body temperature.
