Restricted feeding of newly purchased piglets is a means of raising pigs in rural areas. Although the growth rate was slow but the gastrointestinal disease was low, the pigs were restricted to feeding. But if you buy it free, it can easily lead to indigestion.
There was a very big change in the transfer of conservation into fattening houses. Although mentioned above can be solved using the method of matting material charging, but it is not every pig can do, the vast majority of pig did not consider bedding, but directly feeding the pigs on the cement floor.
The newly transferred piglets still have little weight, less subcutaneous fat, and the digestive system needs to be improved. If you put it directly on the concrete floor, it's easy to catch cold. According to data, the pig breeding in the cement ground, effective temperature can reduce 5 ℃, and if it is on the wet cement ground, effective temperature can reduce 10 ℃, the temperature suddenly drops, it is hard to adapt to the pig. It is easy to get indigestion if there is still a free way to eat. Indigestion, digestive tract may be infected by harmful bacteria and diarrhea and other diseases. If the feeding quantity is less, the indigestion harm is reduced, the digestive tract disease is difficult.
Therefore, restricting the intake of food is also an effective means to prevent the transfer of stress. The amount of restricted feeding is different according to the individual size of the pig, the individual is large, can be appropriately fed, and the individual small is more.
And how do you limit your feeding when you talk about free-feeding?
First calculate the total intake of pig in each column, and then add in a certain amount, one day at a time. So every pig won't eat much.
