One of the mistakes of rural pig farming - concrete floors in crate

  • Damage hoof clip  

Cement ground is harder than dirt ground, the degree of wear and tear on the pig hoof clip is greater, pigs live on the cement ground for a long time will cause serious damage to the pig's hoof clip. It can be found that the incidence of hoof disease in pigs is significantly higher than the previous rural free-range pigs. 

  • Lead to sow constipation  

When rural free-range sows are raised, sows can get probiotics from the soil as a supplement to their own loss of probiotics. After using cement floor, sows can not get probiotics supplement, but also subject to antibiotics on probiotics loss, so now the incidence of constipation in sows is also significantly higher than the rural free-range pigs. Sow gastrointestinal flora disorders, it can not output probiotics for the environment of farrowing room, piglets will not be able to quickly establish the beneficial intestinal flora in time, so the rate of diarrhea in piglets raised on cement floor is also higher than that in the previous rural free-range pig raising.

  • Affecting the physical and mental health of sows  

In the past, rural free-range sows, sows can contact the mud to meet their arching habits, which is conducive to the physical and mental pleasure of the sows, but the use of cement, the sows arching habits were ruthlessly deprived of the lack of pleasure, natural health will be affected, but also an important reason for the pig disease now.

In order to solve the damage brought by the cement floor to the sows, what we pig farmers can do is to meet the pig's demand for soil, so the essential thing in the farmer's house is soil, preferably red soil.

Farmers regularly replenish the right amount of red soil inside the sows' pens, which can satisfy the pigs' need for arching ground and keep them physically and mentally happy.... In addition the sows will be more resistant to disease and can save the farmer a lot of money on antibiotic care. Red soil contains a variety of pigs need more trace elements, pigs in the process of arching soil can take in trace elements outside the feed. Red soil is also rich in probiotics, the sows from the intake of probiotics as a supplement, not only can prevent the constipation of sows, but also can prevent the diarrhea of piglets.
