For a private trader in the USSR, to purchase a piglet for fattening was not a problem, because in the regions they worked pig-breeding complexes, and not one. Today I find homemade pigs much harder, but what to know what can change. Therefore, let's remember the Soviet tricks in order to achieve good promises in a short time.
The fattening of the pig in the household differs from most industrial practices, when the skulls for slaughter are accelerated by a maximum, consciously maintaining a sedentary lifestyle of animals and leaving in rations on corn with sweeteners. Indeed, a similar diet allows you to quickly increase the weight of the animal, but the quality is not only meat, but even the sala drops. Such pigs after slaughter have a huge liver and almost all the raises are associated with fat, and not with muscle mass.
In domestic pig breeding, it is better to use other tactics on the background of the fact that the target is different: in addition to the quantity, the quality is very important.
Milk - tested by years food supplement for a weight gain, which contains a lot of nutrients and essential amino acids, as well as useful fats and calories
Moreover, these nutrients are easily absorbed by the gastrointestinal system as piglets and pigs.
Macroelements of milk are creamy fat, casein, serum protein and lactose. Nourishing trace elements, such as minerals (for example, calcium, phosphate), vitamins (for example, vitamin A), immunoglobulins and enzymes, determine the nutritional value.
Supermarkets can be bought on sale (closer to the expiration date) any dairy products (fatty or skim), including yogurt. Dry milk is also suitable.
In soluble milk substitutes and semi-finished products, dry low fat milk can be used as a source of casein, reminding the source of a protein that gives a sow. Casein is a fraction of a milk protein coagulating with a lower pH. The structure of the essential amino acids of the casin of pigs and cattle is rather similar, except, possibly methionine, which in the casino pig is less than 50% of the Casein of cattle.
Passed (or steam oatmeal) - another old lifehak. Adding steam oatmeal (cereals) of about 300 grams into the daily diet of the pig will help to cope with digestion disorders, protect the stomach and will lead to better feed intake, it means that the improvements will increase.
The easiest and best way to speed up consumption is to start two pigs instead of one, as they have a very strong instinct competition for feed.
The presence of two pigs contributes to better feed intake and subsequent growth. Two pigs are better than one.
Vitamin B12 injections will also be positively affected by pig health during thermal stress or other states leading to poor feed intake. If you do not want to try yourself as Aibolita, look for liquid solutions with vitamin V.
Finally, fresh feed and fresh, clean and cool water is still a gold standard in any pig breeding, whether industrial or homemade cultivation. Pigs will not eat when they suffer from thirst.
Provide them the autopochka and water on demand, but to take once a day from the bucket, which they immediately turn over, a bad idea.
And last. Do not be fooled by tips on feeding pigs of high-calorie food, such as pastries, bread or syrups, why useless weight - that is, fat?
Instead of loading animals by unhealthy food, think about temperatics. For example, instead of racing bucket of molasses, try simply sprinkle food slightly. This will encourage the pig there is more, without consuming too much empty calories. Even wetting feed with simple water, from the point of view of pigs, makes it more edible and tasty.
