Early winter feed management

1, trim the pig house

Keep the ventilation and leakage of the pig bar from obstruction and block the wind and ensure that the daily temperature does not change by more than 2°C. Delivery rooms and nursery homes cover plastic films, which can be increased by 3°C to 4°C in the winter. Zhongmao pig house can take a plastic film tent on the sunny side. The delivery room uses an incubator, heats the lamp, and is capped to ensure that the temperature inside the box reaches the optimum growth temperature for the piglet. Use a material with low thermal conductivity, such as straw or wood, on the concrete floor where the pig rests to rest the pig and prevent the abdomen from getting cold. For the low temperature in the north, heating pipes can be used for heating or blowing warm air insulation, but the latter can make up for the lack of oxygen in the former pig house.

2, strengthen the energy

Winter pigs increase their basal metabolism in order to maintain body temperature, and about one-third of the feed eaten is used to maintain metabolism, so pigs in autumn and winter show a slowing down. For this reason, pigs in autumn and winter must ensure sufficient feed intake before they can achieve the best benefits for pigs, because the greater the feed intake, the greater the percentage used for growth and the better the feed efficiency. It is advisable to increase feeding again at night so as to increase the daily weight gain and reduce the feed to meat ratio. At the same time, it is recommended to feed high-energy feed to pigs. Customers who use concentrated feed to feed pigs are advised to reduce the amount of bran used in the formula and increase the amount of corn. Users of piglet pellets are recommended to use high-energy pellets, which will be better. The economic benefits.

3, disease prevention and control

Into the fall and winter season, due to changes in temperature easily lead to some infectious diseases, such as contagious gastroenteritis, epidemic diarrhea and foot-and-mouth disease. Before winter, check the immune status of the pigs, especially for low-temperature common infectious diseases to ensure that there is enough immunity. In addition, it is to strengthen the isolation of pig farms, prohibit outsiders from entering and leaving pig farms, and strengthen disinfection measures to prevent the occurrence of infectious diseases.

Electric Under Blanket is a specific type of Electric Blanket, usually used in European countries. It is placed below the bottom bed sheet, but cannot be above the bed sheet or over human body.

It normally has 3 to 4 heat settings as option. Consumers can choose their suitable temperature ranges.

Electric under blanket is normally used for sleeping, hence it normally shut off after 12 hours, or be turned off manually.
