1. Whether you purchase piglets or raise piglets from your own farm for fattening, their health must come first. If they are already in a subhealthy state from a young age, they will be difficult to raise later, plagued by disease, and you will regret it.
2. The vaccination schedule can be decided according to the actual conditions of local pig farms. Giving more vaccines does not necessarily mean better protection, but vaccines for classical swine fever, foot-and-mouth disease, and pseudorabies are essential.
3. Do not rely too heavily on vaccines for protection. Management should come first; scientific feeding and management far outweigh everything else. Some diseases are caused by our own actions, aren’t they?
4. Frequent disinfection is not necessarily a good thing. When a pig farm is in a stable state, disinfecting 2 times per month is recommended, except during an epidemic. In summer, use a disinfectant solution; in winter, fumigation tends to be more effective.
5. Preventive measures are very important. The right methods can keep pigs from getting sick or reduce the number of illnesses. When it comes to prevention versus treatment, the emphasis should be on prevention. Only by focusing on prevention can you take the initiative and achieve twice the results with half the effort. If you wait until disease breaks out on a large scale beforetreating, significant losses in manpower, materials, and financial resources will result. Of course,treatmentshould not be overlooked either. When pigs become ill, they must betreatedpromptly; otherwise, the disease will continue to spread and cause major losses. Therefore, we must consistently implement the principle of giving priority to prevention over treatment.
6、Nowadays, raising finishing pigs is very easy for us. They have free access to dry feed, which greatly reduces our labor. We have it easy—but have you ever considered whether pigs prefer dry feed or wet-mixed feed? Is it a good idea to fill the trough completely with feed all at once? This wastes feed and reduces palatability. If they cannot finish it that day, then after some time, what is known as mycotoxins will appear—though you may simply not have noticed. If we work a little harder each day, the pigs at home will be a little happier. Wouldn’t you agree?
7、No pig farmer can say that the pigs they raise at home never get sick. Even with thorough precautions, illness cannot be entirely avoided. We can only keep the outbreak under control as much as possible. For pigs that become ill, my principle is that we must make sure to detect the illness early andtreat it earlyThe medication dosage must be sufficient, but do not increase it arbitrarily.
8, everyone probably has their own ways of creating a comfortable environment for the pigs in the pens. Protection from the cold and maintaining warmth are essential, so there is no need to elaborate here. In short, what works best for your own pig farm is the best choice. Treat the pigs well, and they will reward you in return.
