How to Feed Purina Pig Feed
Depending on the age of the pigs, there are 3 basic types of feed, all of them differ in the rules of administration.
Prestarter
Since the digestive system of the body is not fully formed in small piglets, the use of Purina food is aimed at reorienting the main organs, stomach and intestines to more “adult” carbohydrate foods with starch and grains. It also helps to fully strengthen the body of young livestock.
This food is presented in granules to make it easier for young animals to assimilate the finished product.
It is better to start complementary feeding not immediately, but at 3-7 days from birth of piglets. At the initial stages of feeding, small portions should be given every 2 hours. Gradually the dosage must be increased.
Starter
Such food begins to increase the rate of weight growth of animals. It also helps strengthen the immune system, develop basic digestive metabolic processes and improve the condition of the livestock.
It should be remembered that you should switch to this feed option from the previous one carefully and gradually so that this does not become a stressful situation for the pigs. It is also recommended to mix prestarter and starter together 2-3 days before the full transition to this type of Purina when feeding piglets.
Age of pigs for this product: 45-80 days. No additional fertilizing is required. It is not worth diluting the component with water, if the piglets always have access to clean, fresh liquid.
Fattening
This type of product is used to feed growing pigs. It is during this period of time that the weight of animal carcasses increases and the amount of fat decreases.
Fattening is carried out at the age of 81-180 days.
In addition, it is recommended to combine fattening with other types during this period. Actually, there are several varieties of this feeding technique:
- Meat. This method produces tender, lean meat from animals weighing more than 100 kg. Moreover, the edible part makes up more than 70% of the total mass of meat. If it is necessary to obtain 85% of the edible part, then it is recommended to fatten piglets up to 130 kg.
- Bacon. In this case, you get meat with a layer of fat. Also distinctive is its special spicy taste and amazing aroma. True, here it is imperative to raise piglets strictly up to 100 kg. Moreover, it is recommended to take several breeds.
- To fatty conditions. The resulting products contain up to 50% bacon and approximately 45% meat of the total mass of the component.
Each farmer chooses which type of fattening to choose depending on the breed of pigs, their living conditions, and their financial capabilities.
Conclusion
Purina for pigs is a universal food for farm animals. Like any other product, it has its advantages and disadvantages. It is worth taking into account the characteristics of piglet breeds when feeding, as well as the age of the animals.
