Rice bran is the material left over after the peel, seed coat and germ of the husk are removed during rice processing. Rice bran has been used in China for more than 100 years, but for a long time, rice bran has been mainly used for human consumption and feed for domestic animals. Rice bran feeding pigs is the feed that many farmers will choose, however, there are certain precautions for feeding pigs with rice bran.
First, it is necessary to provide adequate nutrition
To feed pigs with rice bran, the first thing to do is to provide enough nutrients to the pigs. When choosing feed, it is necessary to choose feed with sufficient nutrients and good quality to ensure that the pigs receive enough nutrients. At the same time, according to the growth stage and nutritional needs of the pig herd, the nutrients such as protein, minerals and vitamins should be reasonably matched to meet the needs of the growth and production of the pig herd.
Second, the amount of rice bran should be reasonably controlled
When feeding pigs with rice bran, the amount of rice bran should be reasonably controlled. Generally speaking, the amount of rice bran should account for about 20% of the whole feed and not more than 30%. If the dosage is too much, it will cause indigestion, diarrhea and other problems in the pig herd, affecting the growth and health of the pig herd. Therefore, the amount of rice bran should be reasonably adjusted according to the growth stage and health status of the pig herd to ensure the growth and production efficiency of the pig herd.
Third, we should pay attention to the quality of feed
The quality of rice bran also has a great impact on the growth and health of the pig herd. If the rice bran is stored for too long or the storage environment is poor, it will lead to the degradation of the quality of the rice bran and even mold and deterioration. Feeding pigs with such rice bran will not only affect the growth and health of the pig herd, but also pose a threat to people's food safety. Therefore, when choosing rice bran, it is necessary to pay attention to choosing rice bran with good quality, fresh and no peculiar smell to ensure the growth and production efficiency of the pig herd.
Fourth, it should be used in combination with other feeds
Although rice bran is a nutritious feed, its nutrient composition is relatively simple, which cannot meet the needs of pig growth and production. Therefore, when feeding pigs, rice bran should be used in combination with other feeds, such as corn, soybean meal, wheat bran, etc. At the same time, according to the growth stage and nutritional needs of the pig herd, different feeds should be reasonably matched to ensure that the pig herd receives comprehensive nutrition.
