Farm retention is an important indicator of the efficiency of a farm's operations, and it refers to the proportion of pigs that survive over a period of time to the total number of pigs. This indicator is usually used to measure the management level and breeding efficiency of the pig farm.
For example, on breeding farms, the three-litter retention rate is an important indicator, which refers to the number of three-litters as a percentage of the number of gilts mated. This indicator reflects the utilization rate of low gestational age pigs, the utilization rate of low gestational age pigs has always been a concern of pig farms, no matter when the low gestational age pig herd is eliminated, the pig farm is in a state of loss, the cost of a replacement pig is completely depreciated at least 5 fetuses, and only when it begins to give birth will the cost will be apportioned.
Improving the retention rate of pig farms can improve the utilization rate of low-gestational-age gilts and first-parity pigs by strengthening the breeding management of gilts and the prevention of second-parity syndrome, and then improve the retention rate of third-births.
The improvement of the retention rate of pig farms is of great significance to the pig industry.
1.Improved farm economics: Increased retention means higher farm productivity, higher pig survival rates, and a higher number of pigs, which in turn improves the economic efficiency of the farm.
2.Reduce the cost of pig raising: The improvement of the retention rate of pig farms can reduce the cost of pig raising, reduce the loss caused by pig death, and also reduce the cost of pig feeding, such as feed, vaccines and other expenses.
3.Improving the quality of pork: The higher the survival rate of pigs, the better the quality of pork, which is very important for consumers. Therefore, improving the retention rate of the pig farm can not only improve the economic efficiency of the pig farm, but also improve the quality of pork and meet the market demand.
4.Promote the development of the industry: The improvement of the retention rate of pig farms can promote the development of the entire pig industry, improve the competitiveness of the entire industry, and bring more opportunities and challenges to pig enterprises.
Improving farm retention is very important for the pig industry, it can improve the economic efficiency of pig farms, reduce pig raising costs, improve pork quality, and promote the development of the entire industry.
There are many ways to improve farm retention, but here are some common ones:
1.Strengthen the management of the pig house: maintain the hygiene and ventilation of the pig house, control the temperature and humidity, and reduce the occurrence of disease and stress;The barn is cleaned and disinfected regularly to prevent the spread of bacteria and viruses.
2.Improve feed quality: provide high-quality feed to ensure that the nutritional needs of pigs are met;Reasonable mix of feed to avoid growth and development problems caused by unbalanced nutrition.
3.Strengthen disease prevention and control: timely vaccination, regular inspection of the health status of pigs, timely detection and ** diseases;Effective epidemic prevention measures should be taken to prevent the spread and spread of diseases.
4.Strengthen feeding management: scientific breeding, reasonable arrangement of pig feeding density and activity space, to avoid overcrowding and fatigue;Regularly check the growth and development of pigs, and adjust the feeding plan in time.
5.Strengthen personnel management: improve the professional quality and management level of pig farm employees, strengthen training and guidance, and improve employees' sense of responsibility and execution.
6.Strengthen environmental monitoring: monitor the environmental quality of pig farms, including air quality, water quality, soil quality, etc., and take timely measures to improve the environment and ensure the health and growth of pigs.
