PIG FARMING:🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷
Housing Structure

Good, efficient housing makes management easier and helps the farmer to successfully rear 85 % or more of all the live born piglets to market weight in the shortest possible time. Pigs at different stages of growth need different environments (temperatures). If they are to produce and grow to their maximum potential piglets need special protection against very low temperatures. Growing and reproducing pigs must be protected against high temperatures. The houses must therefore be built in such a way that the pigs are protected against extreme temperatures and other bad weather conditions such as cold winds and continuous rain.

The boar pen👇👇

🐷Boars are kept separately in their own pen. One boar is kept for every 15 to 20 sows. On a pig farm with only 20 sows it is advisable to keep at least two boars, namely a young not too heavy boar for young sows and gilts, and an older boar for older, heavier sows. You will therefore need two pens.

🐷Sows are brought to the boar to be served in the boar pen. This pen should be 9 to 10 m2, with the short side at least 2 m wide so that the boar can easily turn around in it.

🐷The floor should be made of cement and must not be slippery. It should slope towards the sides and to the front so that urine and waste water can drain into a shallow manure channel at the front of the pen.

🐷The walls must be of solid concrete or cement plastered brick. Gates can be made of round iron pipes, with a 20 mm diameter, spaced vertically not further apart than 75 mm. The height of the gate and also the walls should be 1 400 mm.

🐷An under-roof sleep area, about a third of the size of the pen, must be covered in bedding. Straw, grass or sawdust can be used for this purpose.

🐷A feed trough is placed in the sleeping area in such a way that it does not get filled with bedding. The trough for each boar should be 450 to 600 mm long, 150 to 200 mm high and 500 mm wide.

🐷Cool, clean water must be available

**🐖 When to Wean Your Piglets and How to Do It Right 🐖**

Weaning is a crucial step in pig farming. Here’s when to wean your piglets and how to make the process smooth and stress-free:

📅 When to Wean:

- Timing: The ideal time to wean piglets is between 4 to 6 weeks of age. By this time, they should be healthy, strong, and able to eat solid food.

🔄 How to Wean:

1. Start Gradually: Begin introducing piglets to solid feed while they’re still nursing. This helps them get used to the new diet.

2. Ensure Proper Nutrition: Use a high-quality starter feed that’s rich in protein and easily digestible. Make sure fresh water is always available.

3. Maintain a Comfortable Environment: Keep the weaning pen warm, dry, and well-ventilated. A stress-free environment helps piglets adjust better.

4. Monitor Health Closely: Watch for any signs of stress or illness, such as weight loss or diarrhea, and address issues immediately.

5. Separate from the Sow: When it’s time to fully wean, separate the piglets from the sow to prevent nursing. Gradually increase the time they spend away from her to ease the transition.

📝 Pro Tip: Consistency is key! Stick to a routine to help your piglets adapt quickly and grow strong.

With the right approach, weaning can be smooth and beneficial for both the piglets and the sow. 🐷🌱

HOW TO INCREASE THE WEIGHT OF YOUR PIG
Please follow, like, comment and share to enjoy more info from me.

Increasing the weight of a pig requires giving it the right food. If the pig doesn't gain weight as fast you'd like, you should reduce its fiber intake while adding fat and sugar to its diet. Choosing the right protein and grain sources are also important elements of making your pig gain weight. Beyond making the right dietary choices, keeping your pig healthy and housed comfortably will encourage weight gain.

1.Feed your pig food that is low in fiber. Since fiber takes more energy to digest, the pig will end up expending more calories when eating fiber that it would when eating a less fibrous food. In other words, a high-fiber

2.Give your pigs feeds with a high fat content;
Fat in pig feed comes from poultry, vegetable oils, and blended animal or vegetable fats. The type of fat that is included in your pig’s feed has little impact on the weight gains it will make. Feed your pig whatever high-fat feed that it finds most palatable, and you find most affordable.

3.select a protein source;
Combining soybean meal with a corn diet will provide your pig with well-balanced amino acid levels.

4.choose a grain for your pig;
Whatever you choose, 50% of your feed should be yellow corn. The remainder of your pig’s feed should be a mix of barley, wheat, and sorghum. Feed your pig various grains and see which it likes best. Use the pig’s favorite grain in abundance in order to increase its weight.

5.increase the amount of food the pig is eating;
Weight gain occurs as a result of ingesting excess calories. If a pig is not eating enough food, it will lose weight. If a pig eats over and above the caloric volume needed to maintain its current weight, it will increase its weight.
Adequate nutrient intake helps your pig absorb calories more efficiently.
Vitamin B12 is an important addition to your pig’s diet. It can help improve feed intake, as well as reduce stress levels and prevent disease in your pig. B12 injections are the best way to go.

6.Add supplement to the pigs diet;
You can choose to add fat or protein in order to help your pig pack on pounds. Fat and protein supplements (sometimes labeled as energy supplements) are available in many varieties, with fat and protein contents ranging from 30% up to 70% or more.
Young pigs need about 17% of their diet to be protein. Older pigs should get a diet with about 15% protein.

7.make the food more appealing;
Palatability enhancers are toppings that you apply to your pig’s feed in order to make the food taste better. If your pig enjoys what it’s eating, it will eat more of it, thus increasing its weight.

8.ensure your pigs have enough space

9.ensure your pigs can access it's food;
For instance, if your pig is being fed with several others in a communal pen, it might be pushed aside by larger, more dominant pigs.If you only keep feed out during limited windows of time, some pigs might be eating less than others.

10.always give fresh water

11.monitor your pigs health.

12.deworm your pigs

13.check your pigs for injuries regularly; if your pigs been injured, it will not want to eat much. Check your pig’s legs and belly for sores, and check its feet for sharp objects.
**
NOTE--If you plan on fattening your pig for slaughter, don’t rush. Give the pig time to reach its maximum weight before killing it.
Don’t purchase feeds or supplements that won’t increase your pig’s weight..
