In pig farming, when new pigs are introduced into existing groups, they often need to be gradually acclimated to the new environment. This process can take a long time, and during this period, their growth rate tends to drop significantly. To prevent fighting and ensure smooth integration, farmers must take proper measures. One effective method is to use alcohol spraying to mask the scent of the pigs, which helps reduce aggression and promote peaceful coexistence.
The process begins by driving out the original pigs from the pen. Both the new and existing pigs are then sprayed with alcohol, followed by spraying the pen itself. Once this is done, the pigs are reintroduced into the same space. Since alcohol masks their natural odors, the pigs are less likely to recognize each other as strangers, reducing the chance of conflict. This method allows them to adjust more smoothly and continue growing without interruption.
A key step in this technique is to return the new pigs first before bringing back the original ones. This helps disrupt the dominance hierarchy of the existing group, making it easier for the newcomers to integrate without being attacked. By minimizing stress and aggression, the growth rate of the newly introduced pigs remains stable, reducing the time needed for acclimation and improving overall profitability.
This method has proven effective in many farms, and pig farmers looking for a simple yet efficient way to manage group integration may want to give it a try. With proper application, it can significantly enhance the efficiency and success of pig rearing.
Application Status and Development Trend of Feed Protein Sources
With the rapid development of large-scale farming, the market demand for feed continues to expand and demanding. This makes the competition in the feed industry more intense. In the composition of feed, protein source is a vital and necessary part. The manufacturer's reasonable choice of protein source largely determines the market competitiveness of the product. This article briefly reviews the application status and development trend of common protein sources at present, in order to provide a certain reference value for the selection of feed protein sources.
1. Plant protein sources:
1.1 Corn gluten meal 60%
Its protein content is generally above 60, its amino acid composition is good, its price is reasonable, and its resources are abundant. It is currently the most widely used plant protein source. At present, this type of substance has been widely used in livestock, poultry, and aquatic fields, and has good application prospects and space.
1.2 Rice Protein powder 70%
Among cereal proteins, the biological value (B.V.) and protein value (P.V.) of rice protein are higher than other proteins. The amino acid composition of rice protein is balanced and reasonable, and the amino acid content is rich and diverse, which is unmatched by other plant proteins. In addition, the biological value and amino acid composition ratio of rice protein are higher than those of cereal crops such as wheat, barley, millet, and corn. The digestibility is 66.8%, which is one of the higher among cereal proteins.
1.3 Mycoprotein MSG 70%
MSG residue is a single-cell protein obtained by inoculating Corynebacterium glutamicum in corn starch sugar and obtaining glutamic acid supernatant dry matter after direct fermentation process. It is a microbial raw material product between animal and plant protein feeds, rich in various amino acids, trace elements, digestive enzymes and rich growth factors, which is conducive to digestion and absorption by animals. It can replace some high-protein raw materials such as fish meal and corn protein meal in feed, and is widely used by feed companies.
1.4
When choosing protein sources, different combinations and matching should be made according to different feeding objects. Plant protein sources are sufficient and inexpensive, and can scientifically replace and supplement animal protein sources, which is conducive to reducing breeding costs and improving breeding quality. With the continuous advancement of science, its advantages will be further reflected and will make greater contributions to the development of the breeding industry.
