The problems of pigs raised on the cement floor and solutions

The floor of the pig house is paved with cement, which is sturdy and durable, easy to clean and wash and widely used. However, during the pig raising process, many drawbacks have also been exposed. If no corresponding measures are taken, it will easily affect the benefits.

First, it is easy to cause pigs to lack of minerals. The habit of pigs eating arched soil, because pigs can get the necessary minerals to meet their normal growth and development needs. However, the solid concrete floor blocks the contact between the pig and the soil. Pigs cannot obtain minerals from the soil and are prone to mineral deficiency, resulting in decreased appetite, slow growth, and negative and dull back hair. Therefore, when pigs are raised in a pig house on a concrete floor, attention should be paid to supplementing the necessary minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, sodium, chlorine, potassium, sulfur, magnesium, copper, iron, manganese, sulphur, cobalt, and zinc. Vitamins. When feeding concentrate, pay attention to adding salt, bone meal and green feed, and add 1% of cinder powder.

Second, it is easy to cause iron deficiency anemia in suckling piglets. In the case of small iron stores in the piglets and low iron content in the sow's milk, due to the hard cement floor barriers, piglets cannot obtain iron through arch-eating soils and iron-deficiency anemia is prone to occur. In order to change this situation, piglets should be fed once a week with 100-200 mg of rich blood or blood water, blood serum, etc., as well as 2.5 g of ferrous sulfate and 1 g of copper sulfate dissolved in 1000 ml of clean water. After filtering, feed the piglets.

Third, it is easy to cause diarrhea in piglets. The cement floor is a cool ground. The temperature difference changes greatly. When the piglets lie in the ground, the abdomen is susceptible to cold and diarrhea occurs, which will reduce the resistance of the piglets to various diseases and affect the survival rate. Therefore, when pigs are kept in pig houses on cement floors, attention should be paid to the warmth of the pighouses. Some grass should be placed in the sleeping place of the piglets, and the grass should be frequently turned or replaced to keep the pens clean.
