These four books are a must-see for getting started in raising pigs. They are not thick, illustrated and easy to understand. This series of books is a set of translated books about time management in pig farms. Many large farms use it as a training book. Its main purpose is to teach a pig farmer how to think, how to look at problems, how to discuss the problems he sees in depth, and finally get a suitable solution.
Symptomatology of pigs: the author is simple and detailed from how to observe the state of pigs at the most basic level, to how to think about the reasons behind these symptoms, and then to how to deal with them. This book does not simply teach a person how to treat diseases, for example, what medicine to use to treat diarrhea, but teaches a pig farmer how to think and how to deal with it. The thinking mode of pig farmers determines the living state of pig farms.
The signal of fattening pig: This book tells the problems that a fattening pig needs to face after going through the delivery room, weaning into the seed conservation stage and then entering the fattening stage, and how the breeder can solve these problems. For example, this book puts forward that "one hour of piglets is equal to one day of fattening pigs", reminding farmers not to treat the piglets in the delivery room lightly. Without a good foundation, no matter how high the building is, it is difficult to achieve it. The author illustrates how to choose the delivery column, from why to what benefits it will bring, and illustrates the advantages and disadvantages of different types of floors through tables. The author, like a conscientious teacher, breaks every detail and expresses it, and no one will find it profound.
The sow's signal is a must-read if she wants to breed herself and feed her friends. If a fat pig is a gold nugget, then a sow is a gold mine. The book describes in detail the problems that sows need to deal with from the selection of reserve sows to estrus, pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum recovery. Even a large-scale farm is a bible for sow reproduction.
Piglet's signal: Piglet stage is the shortest period, but it is also the most difficult to raise and the most prone to problems. This book starts with the common and easily overlooked problems such as dirty nose and knee wounds of piglets, and guides breeders to think about why these problems occur and what aspects should be considered. The black nose means that the sow's nipples have been arched and she can't drink milk. Considering whether sows have mastitis, sows are unwilling to feed piglets; The wound on the knee indicates that the floor is too hard and there is a risk of streptococcus infection. How to improve the problem: if you can't eat milk, you can start from the following aspects: foster piglets, improve sow feed nutrition, treat mastitis, or provide piglets with breast milk substitutes, such as goat milk powder; The injured knee can be replaced by the floor to protect the knee and reduce the risk of streptococcus infection. This book is rich in content, concise in language and easy to understand.
