Off-site purchase of pigs considerations
With the continuous development of large-scale pig raising, many farmers have often lost a large number of pigs because of lack of experience. This has caused a large number of pigs to die, and even a full-blown disease has caused serious losses. For this reason, from the purchase of pigs from other places, we must do the following key work. Purchase of pigs in the production area We should choose to purchase pigs with a longer weaning age, lively and healthy appetite. Although the pigs are full moon, they have not been weaned completely. Pigs who cannot live independently cannot buy it. The vaccine for which the weaned pigs should be injected according to the immunization procedure is best to be immunized for the first time at the place of production; the immunized pigs should be purchased for more than 7 days; the immunization of the pigs should not be performed at the same time as the shipment. If it is necessary to purchase non-immunized pigs, one anti-multiple disease immunoglobulin should be injected within 1-2 days before shipment. A detailed understanding of the prevalence of swine diseases in the area of ​​origin does not require purchasing pigs from the affected area. The purchased pigs should be quarantined at the place of production and a quarantine certificate issued by the animal inspection department. To understand the natural climatic conditions of the place of production and the feeding methods of the pigs, the composition of the diet, and the number of daily feedings, etc., the reference for the rearing and management of the pigs after entering the yard is made. Long-distance transport of pig attention 1. Let the pigs eat well enough before getting on the bus, but you shouldn’t overfeed. You should add electrolytic multidimensional or oral rehydration salts to your drinking water. 2. The density of the pigs should not be too large to prevent crushing and death. It is not appropriate to use a cage to load the piglets in multiple layers. 3. Avoid transporting pigs in summer. 4. It is better to transport the pigs for no more than 1 day and 1 night. 5. The speed of transporting the pigs should be steady and should not be too fast. Don't let the sudden brakes open suddenly. 6. Special care should be taken to observe the nursing pigs on the way to transport the pigs to prevent any abnormalities. Pig arrival notes 1. It is advisable for the farm to adopt an all-in, all-out system. Newly-purchased pigs should be placed in a barnhouse that has been sterilized several times and must not be reared with the original barn. 2. Combine the pigs with little difference in source, body weight, body quality, strength and weakness, coat color, and temperament, and keep them in a circle. The density should not be too large. The area per head of pigs should be 0.5 square meters to 0.8 square meters. Each group is generally suitable for 10 heads to 15 heads; sufficient troughs and troughs should be provided so that each pig can eat enough to drink and no food is caught; for frail, sick or in transit Pigs that have been traumatized should be reared separately in a special circle. 3. Newly admitted pigs should limit feeding within 1 week (especially on the same day) and adopt a method of reducing the number of meals they eat. At the same time, according to the feeding method of the place of origin, the pig should be given a feed with good nutrition and easy to digest. After 1 week, the feeding method and the composition of the diet gradually transferred to the field. 4. Add anti-stress medications to drinking water. 5. It is not advisable to inject the vaccine immediately during the entry of the pigs into the pen, and the immunization should be performed after the body condition of the pigs returns to normal one week later. The essence of the above precautions is to minimize stress factors and types, intensity, and duration so as to ensure the healthy growth of newly-purchased pigs from different places.
