How to Feed Purina Pigs
Depending on the age of the pigs, 3 basic types of feed are distinguished, all of which differ in the rules for taking them.
Prestarter
Since the digestive system of the body is not fully formed in small piglets, the use of Purina food is aimed at reorienting the main organs, stomach and intestines to more “adult” carbohydrate foods with starch and cereals. It also contributes to the full strengthening of the body of young livestock.
This feed is presented in granules, so that it is easier for young animals to assimilate the finished product.
It is better to start complementary foods not immediately, but on the 3-7th day from the birth of piglets. In the initial stages of feeding, small portions should be given every 2 hours. Gradually, the dosage must be increased.
Starter
Such feed begins to increase the rate of growth of the mass of animals. It also helps to strengthen the immune system, the development of basic digestive metabolic processes and improve the condition of the livestock.
It should be remembered that this feed option from the previous one should be switched carefully and gradually so that this does not become a stressful situation for pigs. It is also recommended that 2-3 days before the full transition to this type of Purina, when feeding piglets, mix prestarter and starter together.
Age of pigs for this product: 45-80 days. Additional dressings are not required. It is not worth diluting the component with water if at the same time the piglets always have access to clean, fresh liquid.
Fattening
This type of product is used to feed growing stock of pigs. It is during this period of time that the mass of animal carcasses increases and the amount of fat decreases.
Fattening is carried out at the age of 81-180 days.
In addition, it is recommended during this period to combine fattening with its other types. Actually, there are several varieties of this feeding technique:
- Meat. In this method, tender lean meat is obtained from animals weighing more than 100 kg. Moreover, the edible part is more than 70% of the total mass of meat. If it is necessary to obtain 85% of the edible part, then it is recommended to fatten piglets up to 130 kg.
- bacon. In this case, meat with a layer of fat is obtained. Also a distinctive feature is a special spicy taste and amazing aroma. True, here it is imperative to grow piglets strictly up to 100 kg. And it is recommended to take several breeds.
- To fatty conditions. The resulting products contain up to 50% bacon and approximately 45% meat of the total mass of the component.
What type of fattening to choose, each farmer chooses for himself, depending on the breed of pigs, their conditions of detention, and their financial capabilities.
Conclusion
Purina for pigs is a universal feed for farm animals. Like any other product, it has its advantages and disadvantages. It is necessary to take into account the characteristics of the breeds of piglets when feeding, as well as the age of the animals.
