Generally speaking, to raise 200 to 300 pigs, the places that need to be invested are: introduction expenses (sows or piglets), pig farm construction expenses, equipment and facilities expenses, pig farm operation expenses (feed, veterinary drugs, vaccines), working capital, artificial water and electricity expenses, and other expenses (environmental protection, procedures). Among them, the cost of introduction and pig farm construction can be estimated, and other costs cannot be specifically budgeted.
Matters needing attention in raising pigs
Diseases that breeding pigs must prevent: mainly include Japanese encephalitis, porcine parvovirus disease, porcine pseudorabies and other viral diseases, which mainly cause reproductive disorders of sows and cause a large number of deaths of newborn piglets and weaned piglets. Because this kind of disease is very harmful, there is no possibility of treatment, so it can only be controlled by immunization.
Like preventive injection, animal owners have higher and higher requirements for anthelmintics. A new generation of antibiotics, ivermectin and avermectin, not only have a good effect on intestinal parasites, but also have a good lethality on Sarcoptes suis. Insect mites and insect mites produced by the Animal Medical College of Huazhong Agricultural University have achieved good results in controlling the harm of parasites inside and outside the pig farm.
