Rice bran is the feed raw material for traditional pig feeding in rice planting areas, but how to feed pigs with rice bran, each place or each farmer has different habits, and most of the traditional habits are not scientific, this article will introduce how to feed pigs with rice bran in the correct way.
First, the correct way to feed pigs with rice bran.
Rice bran is a by-product of rice processing, rich in nutrients, and is a high-quality feed ingredient. In the pig industry, rice bran is one of the commonly used feeds, but in order to make pigs grow healthily, it is necessary to master the correct rice bran feeding method to pigs.
First of all, pay attention to the freshness of the rice bran. Fresh rice bran has a fragrance, while stale rice bran not only has a reduced nutritional value, but may also contain harmful substances. Therefore, it is necessary to choose fresh rice bran to feed the pigs and store it properly to avoid moisture and mold.
Secondly, it is necessary to reasonably match other feeds. Although rice bran is highly nutritious, it cannot be used as the sole feed. To ensure that pigs receive complete nutrition, rice bran should be used in combination with other feeds. For example, rice bran can be mixed with corn, soybean meal, wheat bran, etc., to provide the energy, protein, minerals, and vitamins that pigs need, among other things. At the same time, the formula of feed should be reasonably adjusted according to the different growth stages and nutritional needs of pigs.
Third, pay attention to the amount and frequency of feeding. When feeding pigs, it is necessary to master the appropriate amount and frequency of feeding. Excessive rice bran can lead to indigestion in pigs, while underfeeding can affect pig growth rate and health. In general, adult pigs should be fed between 2-4 kg of rice bran per day, while piglets should be reduced in moderation depending on the growth stage. At the same time, it is necessary to arrange the feeding frequency reasonably, usually 2-3 times a day.
In addition, attention should be paid to feed processing and storage. In order to improve the utilization rate of rice bran and the digestibility of pigs, rice bran can be mixed with other feeds and then cooked or fermented. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the warehouse where the feed is stored is dry and well ventilated to prevent the feed from becoming moldy and spoiling.
In conclusion, mastering the correct method of feeding pigs with rice bran is essential for the healthy growth of pigs. It is necessary to choose fresh rice bran, mix it with other feeds reasonably, master the appropriate feeding amount and feeding frequency, and pay attention to the problems of feed processing and storage. Only in this way can we give full play to the nutritional value of rice bran, improve the growth rate and health status of pigs, and contribute to the development of the pig industry.
Second, the role of rice bran in pig raising.
As a common feed ingredient in the pig industry, rice bran has a variety of functions. First of all, rice bran is rich in nutrients. It contains a large amount of crude fiber, minerals, vitamins, etc., which help to promote the functions of gastrointestinal peristalsis, digestion and absorption, and metabolism of pigs. At the same time, the crude fiber in rice bran can also improve the satiety of pigs, reduce feed waste and breeding costs.
Secondly, rice bran also has the effect of improving the quality of pork. Because rice bran is rich in vitamin E and other antioxidants, it can delay the rate of oxidative deterioration of pork, maintain the freshness of meat and the retention of nutrients. In addition, proper rice bran feeding can also increase the fat content between muscle fibers, making the pork more tender, juicy and tasting.
Third, rice bran also has an environmental protection role in pig farming. Because rice bran contains a large amount of cellulose and other organic matter, it can be fully utilized in the digestion process of pigs, reducing the emission of organic matter in manure and reducing environmental pollution. At the same time, the use of rice bran as a feed ingredient can also make full use of rice processing by-products, reducing resource waste and reducing pressure on the environment.
3. How to improve the utilization rate of rice bran in pig breeding.
In order to better play the role of rice bran in pig farming, the following measures can be taken to improve its utilization rate:
1.Mix with other feeds: As mentioned earlier, rice bran cannot be used as the sole feed. To ensure that pigs receive complete nutrition, rice bran should be used in combination with other feeds. According to the different growth stages and nutritional needs of pigs, the formula of feed can be reasonably adjusted to better play the nutritional value of rice bran.
2.Proper processing: In order to improve the utilization rate of rice bran and the digestibility of pigs, rice bran can be processed appropriately. For example, mixing rice bran with other feeds and then cooking or fermenting it can destroy the cellulose and other structures in it, making it easier for pigs to digest and absorb. At the same time, the processing can also destroy the undesirable factors and improve the safety of the feed.
3.Storage management: Ensure that the warehouse where the feed is stored is dry and well ventilated to prevent the feed from becoming moldy and spoiling. At the same time, the quality and hygiene of the feed should be checked regularly, and the expired or deteriorated feed should be disposed of in a timely manner. In the process of storage, environmental factors such as temperature and humidity should be strictly controlled to prevent the loss or deterioration of feed nutrients.
4.Feeding management: Strengthening feeding management is also one of the important measures to improve the utilization rate of rice bran. It is necessary to regularly clean the pig house for hygiene, disinfection and epidemic prevention and deworming; Reasonable arrangement of feeding amount and feeding frequency; Pay attention to the growth and health status of the pigs. Through scientific and reasonable feeding management measures, the healthy growth of pigs can be promoted and the utilization rate of rice bran and other feeds can be improved.
