What is ecological pig raising, and what is the difference between raising ordinary pigs?
Compared with traditional piggery, mountain stocking enables pigs to enjoy sufficient sunshine, fresh air and clean water, which is beneficial to the prevention and control of epidemic diseases. Pork with higher quality and richer nutrition may become a new model of ecological pig raising. Dr. Wang Lixian, director of China Animal Husbandry Association and vice president of pig industry branch, expounded this view at the symposium on ecological pig raising held in Sanmenxia City.

Although most of the pigs are now from the cement pigsty of the farm, many farmers have no money to build large pig farms in rural and mountainous areas. Ecological pig raising is a good way to get rich. Because we eat natural feed, if the quality of pigs is good, it is not a problem to sell 20% more than ordinary pigs. So, what should we pay attention to in ecological pig raising?

1. What kind of pigs are suitable for stocking?

Free-range pigs eat more natural feed and have a long slaughter period. If large white pigs are selected as pig breeds, consumers will not accept it when they see that it is white pigs. Moreover, white pigs are free-range and the lean meat rate is not high. If the selling price is the same as that in captivity, they will lose money. If you have money, you can raise fragrant pigs or local pigs, and the price can be higher.

Second, the delineation of stocking areas.

Pigs are usually raised on hillsides or forests, and the stocking sites are enclosed by fences. The fence price is generally per meter 15 yuan. When building a fence, the bottom of the fence should be buried deeply and fixed to prevent the fence from being washed down by water when it rains.

Where conditions permit, fruit trees can be planted on the hillside, and mulberry trees can also be planted to raise silkworms. In the concave land, it can be combined with fishery to establish an ecological cycle planting and breeding system.

Third, the preparation of feed

Letting pigs go allows them to eat freely. Pigs are raised in the mountains and eat pure natural roots and leaves. Want to play the name of natural ecological pig raising, not feed additives. However, the nutrition provided by green feed is not balanced, and manual intervention is needed at an appropriate time, such as feeding some whole grains or feed without any antibiotics, hormones and heavy metals to ensure that pork has no drug residues. And some whole grains.

Fourth, epidemic prevention measures

Raising pigs is not completely free-range. We need to build a simple pig shed to let them rest and shelter from the rain, so that pigs can only have food, a place to sleep and a place to run, and keep a happy mood, and their immunity will go up. At the same time, a lot of exercise also contributes to the improvement of immunity. However, when raising pigs, we should pay attention to whether there are other animals in the surrounding environment, and do a good job of isolation and killing to prevent other animals from spreading diseases to pig farms.
