Models and Characteristics of Pig Raising in Rural Courtyards

(1) Farmers can make full use of idle rural labor to raise pigs in their yards. Since the number of pigs raised is small, the workload is also small.

There is no need to arrange special labor force. Generally, people in the family who are older and cannot participate in heavy physical labor in agricultural production, and children with certain working ability can complete the tasks of feeding pigs and cleaning pens. .

In addition, farmers can also use their labor breaks to complete pig production tasks such as feeding pigs or cleaning manure in the morning, noon, and evening.

Therefore, farmers can basically ignore labor costs when raising pigs in their yards, thus greatly reducing pig production costs.

(2) Agricultural processing by-products can be fully utilized. There are a wide range of agricultural processing by-products in rural areas, such as tofu residue, flour residue, powder slurry, distiller's grains, soy sauce residue, swill and bran. The price of such processing by-products Cheap and a pity to throw away.

Pigs can eat and digest these by-products, and use the nutrients in these by-products to synthesize and convert them into pork products. This not only reduces the waste of resources, but also greatly saves pig feed costs and reduces the cost of raising pigs in factories. The cost has increased the income of farmers, and at the same time, it has exchanged a large amount of pork products for the majority of farmers. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

(3) The large amount of green feed in rural areas can be fully utilized. my country's rural areas are vast and rich in resources, and there are a large number of green feed resources that pigs can eat and utilize.

Some green fodder can be planted on some non-cultivated land and some small water surfaces.

A large number of wild grasses and vegetables can also be collected in the fields, fields, borders and roadsides of farmland.

The straws of certain crops, such as peanut stalks, sweet potato stalks, soybean stalks, corn stalks, etc., can also be partially eaten and digested by pigs and converted into pork.

The utilization of these large amounts of cheap green and roughage will also greatly reduce the cost of raising pigs in rural backyards.

(4) Low investment and quick results Farmers raise pigs in their yards. The pig house construction is relatively simple, and it can also be rebuilt using idle old houses, old warehouses, old cave dwellings, old factories, etc.

When farmers raise pigs in their yards, they generally raise a small number of pigs, usually 3-5 pigs. There are more than a dozen or dozens of them.

Therefore, the construction scale is small, the construction investment is small, and the construction speed is also fast.

If you invest in building a house that year, you can raise pigs that year, and you can get economic benefits that year.
