How to make live pigs "live more comfortable and eat healthier?" On September 15, 2010, the Guangxi Pig Industry Development Conference and the Pig Industry Science and Technology Exhibition were held in Nanning. At the exhibition, more than 80 companies in the region set up booths to demonstrate the latest pig-raising equipment and products. New technologies such as pigs lining up to eat and needle-free injections opened the eyes of farmers.

The exhibitors on the day included feed, veterinary medicine, machinery and equipment, distribution, processing and other industries as well as research institutes and universities. An automated equipment company from Chengdu launched a “pig butler” computer-controlled device that allows pigs to “queue for dinner”: when a pig enters the feeding lane, the electronic door automatically shuts down; the computer then reads the pig’s electronics The ear tag information, for its preparation of the most suitable "meal"; the pig left after the full, the electronic door will open and put another pig in. The process is similar to ticketing at the subway entrance. Pigs waiting to eat automatically queue up outside the gate. This equipment not only solves the problem of pig feeding and fighting, but also manages the archives of each pig. The farmers can use the mobile phone PDA to keep track of the individual information of pigs at any time, and establish a “farm to table” safety traceability. system.

Another animal husbandry new technology company introduced a "needleless syringe". This syringe looks like a water gun. Just put a half fingernail-size "muzzle" against the pig's skin, pull the trigger, and the hydraulic system. The medicine will be injected into the pig. A veterinarian said after reading that every time a needle was used to go to a farm to change needles with traditional syringes, there were often cross-infections, abscesses, and other adverse reactions, and the pig saw the veterinarian holding the syringe and was afraid to get smashed. Syringes are indeed the "gospel" of pigs.

The farmers are most afraid of the pigs being sick, and feeding the pigs will cause antibiotic residues, which is not conducive to the disease resistance and meat safety of pigs. At the exhibition, various companies have introduced new preparations combining biotechnology and Chinese herbal medicine, which has become a new trend in healthy breeding. For example, the addition of amino acid plant nutrient solution to the drinking water of pigs can improve immunity and reduce the use of drugs. Feeding pigs with a mixture of nutrient premixes and corn, soybean meal, etc. can achieve the purpose of not feeding finished products; use Panax notoginseng and honeysuckle. The “powdered powder” made of eucalyptus oil, peppermint oil, etc., can protect newborn pigs from viruses and bid farewell to the previous method of scrubbing with a rag.

The highly toxic "heart-broken grass" (scientific name hook snout) can also serve pigs. After a company detoxifies with hook-and-mouth powder, adding biological preparations to feed pigs can achieve the effects of repelling insects, relieving cough, and reducing asthma, thus reducing the use of antibiotics.

Experts at the Guangxi Pig Industry Development Conference pointed out that the frequent occurrence of pork quality incidents and pig disease epidemic affect consumer trust in pork products and some companies, and aggravate fluctuations and even turbulence in pork consumption. In recent years, pork product traceability technology has become a technical solution to this problem. Companies that can survive in the pork market and grow and expand in the future will be companies that strictly implement product traceability technology. It can be foreseen that the tracing technology of pork products will be widely promoted in the last five years and will eventually become popular.

The reporter learned from the Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Department of the Autonomous Region that our district is fully initiating the demonstration and establishment of standardization of pig breeding activities, developing ecological, healthy, and large-scale pig farming, and promoting orchard farming, mulberry farm breeding, understory farming, and grassland breeding. the way. Live pig products will also transform the structure of past foreign pig breeds, and build a product structure in which foreign fine pig breeds are closely integrated with the local famous varieties of Guangxi Bama, Huanjiang Xiang pigs and Luchuan pigs.
