Principles and requirements for the location of pig farms
With the development of the pig industry, the location of pig farms has attracted more and more attention. The location of the pig farm directly affects the health, production efficiency and surrounding environment of the pig herd. Therefore, when building a pig farm, certain principles and requirements must be followed.
First, the principle of site selection.
1.Open terrain: choose a flat and open place to build a farm, which is convenient for ventilation and air circulation, and is also conducive to the lighting and drainage of the pig house. At the same time, the open terrain is also conducive to the movement and growth of the pig herd.
2.Sufficient water supply: Pig farms need sufficient water to meet the drinking water of pigs and the daily production needs of pig farms. Therefore, it is necessary to choose a place close to a water source, such as a river, reservoir, etc. At the same time, the quality of the water source should also be considered to ensure the quality and hygiene of the water.
3.Convenient transportation: Pig farms should be built in convenient places to facilitate the transportation of feed, veterinary drugs, breeding pigs, etc. At the same time, it is also conducive to the travel and life of pig farm employees.
4.Quiet environment: The pig farm should choose a place with a quiet surrounding environment and away from noise. Noise can affect the growth and reproduction of pigs and even cause disease. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid building in noisy places such as roads, factories, villages, etc.
5.Avoid endemic areas: Pig farms should avoid other pig farms, slaughterhouses and other possible foci to reduce the risk of disease transmission. At the same time, it is also necessary to avoid building sites in scenic spots, nature reserves and other places to reduce the pressure on the environment.
2. Site selection requirements.
1.Land nature: The land nature of the land is selected as non-basic farmland to build a farm, so as to facilitate the acquisition of land use rights. At the same time, the nature of the land also determines the business scope and development direction of the pig farm.
2.Soil conditions: Soil conditions have a certain impact on the construction and production of pig farms. The site should be built in a place with hard, dry and good water permeability, and avoid building in low-lying and wet places. At the same time, the pH of the soil should also be considered to meet the production requirements of the farm.
3.Water quality: The quality of water directly affects the production quality and environmental hygiene of pig farms. The water quality of the water source should be tested to ensure that the quality of the water meets the standards. At the same time, the amount of water should meet the production needs of the farm.
4.Air quality: The quality of air quality has a direct impact on the health and productivity of the pig herd. Places with good air circulation, freshness, and no pollution sources should be selected to build farms, and places with serious air pollution should be avoided.
5.Epidemic prevention requirements: pig farms should meet local epidemic prevention requirements, and establish a sound epidemic prevention system and management system. Keep a distance from the surrounding area to reduce the risk of disease transmission. At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen the monitoring and prevention and control of epidemic diseases to ensure the health and safety of the pig herd.
In short, factors such as topography, water source, transportation, environment, land nature, soil conditions, water quality, air quality and epidemic prevention requirements should be fully considered when selecting the site, so as to ensure the production efficiency and environmental hygiene of the pig farm, and also meet the local development planning and policy requirements.
