What are the benefits of raising pigs and castrating piglets in rural areas?

With the development of rural urbanization and rural economy, earth-shaking changes have taken place in rural areas. Many young people are gradually going out of the countryside to strive for a happy life for their families, but many rural traditions and ancient occupations are gradually disappearing.

In the past, basically every family in the countryside kept a few pigs. First, don't worry about pork during the Spring Festival. Second, when the pig price is particularly good, it can be sold at a high price. But all the pigs in my family are fat pigs and need to be sterilized. At that time, in the countryside, we were called the craftsmen of castrating pigs. This job was very popular at that time, and the people engaged in this job were generally men and young men.

Disappearing industry

Under the pressure of large-scale farming in rural areas, especially rural environmental protection, many farmers can't afford the cost of large-scale farming, so they give up raising pigs. Instead, go out to work and make a living by yourself. As a result, there are few listeners in rural areas, and the occupation of pig farms has gradually disappeared.

Castration of pigs is a solar term

To castrate a pig is to sterilize it. The popular point is to collect castrated pig testicles and sow ovaries, so that they lose their reproductive ability. The craftsman who castrated the pig made it specially. When we were young, we often saw a craftsman castrating pigs by himself with a knife, needle and thread, hooks and thread. Sterilizing pigs is also very simple. Directly cut the pig's testicles or ovaries with a knife, take them out, sew them with a needle, and apply some anti-inflammatory drugs to the wound. Only such a pig can grow into a big pig.

Benefits of pig infertility surgery

1, the economic benefits have been greatly improved. Sterilized pigs have no fertility and become very soft. They sleep besides eating. The utilization rate of feed and grain is very high, and generally one or two kilograms of meat a day is not a problem. On the contrary, unsterilized pigs have outstanding spirit and high exercise, which seriously affects the utilization rate of feed and food.

2. Pork is fresh and of good quality. Fat pigs are slaughtered for human consumption. The unsterilized testicles of boars will produce fishy smell, which will gradually penetrate into pork with the increase of body size, making the meat fishy. This smell is too bad to look like a sterilized princess. Because there are no testicles, the finished meat has no taste and good quality.

3. Prevent pigs from fighting. Whether boars or sows are not sterilized after maturity, quarrels and quarrels will occur. Moreover, our pigsty is generally mixed with soil and relatively flat. Long-term fighting will hurt pigs and seriously affect their healthy growth.
