I hope it helps you.

First, "time". Like people, pigs need a regular life to ensure their physical and mental health. Therefore, the time for feeding pigs every day should be set, and it is generally required to be no more than half an hour before and after. In this way, pigs can develop good physiological habits, secrete digestive juice regularly, so that the digestive system can work regularly, eat whenever they want, and it is delicious and easy to digest, and it is not easy to suffer from gastrointestinal diseases. If the feeding time is not fixed, which disrupts the life rules of pigs, it will easily lead to digestive dysfunction, cause undue physiological stress, make the pig's food intake change greatly, make the taste worse, and lead to indigestion and gastrointestinal diseases. In this way, the growth rate of pigs will be affected, the weight will drop and the growth will be slow.

Second, it is necessary to "quantify". Scientific feed intake is the guarantee for the pig's digestive system to run under uniform load and give full play to its best performance. When feeding pigs, being hungry and full can also cause indigestion and slow weight gain. The feed intake of the same group or even the same pig often varies due to climatic conditions, feed palatability, feeding technology and other factors. Therefore, according to the nutritional status, feed and appetite of pigs, we should master the feed quantity flexibly. Generally, there is no food residue in the trough after feeding, so pigs should not lick the trough. If there are leftovers in the trough, they can be reduced next time; If there is not enough food, you can feed more next time. Pigs' appetite is generally the strongest in the evening, the second in the morning and the worst at noon. The daily feed should be distributed according to this rule, so that pigs can always maintain a strong appetite.

Third, we must "determine the quality." Under the premise of normal feed intake, it is the material guarantee for healthy and rapid growth of pigs to ingest various nutrients needed for physiology and growth. Therefore, farmers should prepare compound feed according to the feeding standard of different types of pigs at different growth stages. Premix produced by regular manufacturers and bulk raw materials that meet the requirements must be selected, combined with local raw materials, according to the reference formula provided by premix manufacturers, and under the guidance of technical service personnel, scientific production should be organized to ensure feed digestibility and nutrition level in protein. Variety changes should not be too great, and there should be a transition period.

Fourth, we must "order food". The stomach volume of pigs is limited, and it is different at different physiological stages. How many meals should be fed every day must be decided according to the type, age, season and feed nature of pigs. Lactating piglets have small stomach volume and weak digestive ability. From the age of 7 days, they mainly attract food, but there is no limit to the number of times they eat. From 20 years old to weaning, you can feed more than 6 meals a day; The digestive function of weaned piglets is increasing, and they can be fed 4-5 meals a day. Sows with young and sows in late pregnancy need more nutrition and can be fed four times a day; Shelf pigs, big pigs, empty sows and boars can be fed three times a day. In summer, the weather is hot, the days are long and the nights are short.
