How long is the breeding cycle of pigs?

The breeding period of pigs is 150~ 180 days.

According to different pig breeds, the period of slaughter culture is different, such as Landrace, Large White and Duroc, and the slaughter time is usually 160 days. If you want to slaughter pigs in advance, you need good feeding management besides selecting high-quality pig breeds. It is very important to keep drinking water clean when raising pigs. Good water supply can promote the health of the main group and improve the profit of raising pigs.

The pig is a common domestic animal. Their feeding behaviors include eating and drinking water, and they have various age characteristics. They like sweets, granular substances and wet substances, and they also consume a lot of water. In addition to feed ingredients, the water consumption of adult pigs depends largely on the environmental temperature.

Precautions before pig slaughter

1, it should be noted that according to the market demand and seasonal adjustment, the slaughter of live pigs should first be judged according to the market demand, social stock, current hog price trend and other factors. Secondly, it should be adjusted according to the season. Generally, the change law of holiday demand is upward before the holiday and contraction after the holiday, reaching the peak about one month before the holiday, then falling back, and basically recovering the price one month after the holiday. If the weather is hot in summer and the conditions of heatstroke prevention and cooling in pig farms are not good, it will affect the growth of pigs and should be slaughtered in advance.

2. Timely slaughter according to the physiological development characteristics: Many pig farmers are influenced by traditional concepts and do not care about the physiological development characteristics of pigs. They don't sell pigs when they raise them above 100kg, and they don't sell them until they raise them to 150~200kg, always thinking that the heavier the better.

3. If the pig weighs more than1.20kg, it will eat more, gain weight slowly, reduce the conversion rate of lean meat, and the meat quality will not be tender, smooth and delicious. Therefore, when pigs are raised too big and too fat, not only the lean meat rate is low, the fat is high, the material consumption is high, and the growth is slow, but also the economic benefits of raising pigs are affected.
