The pig trough is not the same as the trough, some pigsty only has the trough, one by one when feeding, some are loaded with trough and trough, the trough and trough can be separated or begin to be integrated, which mainly depends on personal choice. When the pig eats the food, the food falls from the trough into the trough. This trough has plastic, stainless steel, and cement, today I will introduce you to the cement trough.
First, the advantages and disadvantages of cement trough.
Many farmers, especially free-range farmers, will choose to use cement troughs or troughs, because the cost of cement troughs is relatively low, but the biggest disadvantage of cement troughs is that it is difficult to clean, food is easy to dirty in the corner, and it is easy to breed bacteria for a long time, endangering the safety and health of pigs.
Therefore, if the farmer uses a cement trough, then we must often clean the trough and trough to prevent food residues on it, and the trough and trough should also be disinfected and sterilized, and livestock small grazing: non-Ketabao (potassium bisulfate) can be used to eliminate fungi, bacteria and other harmful bacteria, especially for swine fever, foot-and-mouth disease and other viruses have a good killing effect.
Second, what should I do if I don't cut the material?
The surface of the cement trough is not smooth, and there are particles and fine surfaces in the pig feed, so the feeding is not very smooth, and there will often be slow unloading, blockage, etc., so we can spread a piece of plastic cloth inside the trough, so that the surface is smooth.
If it is in the feeding process, the feed feeding speed is slow, then we have to check the feeder, to see if it is blocked or broken, if there is a repair immediately, usually check the feeding system, unloading system, etc., in addition, some holes are more secret, if not well checked may not be found.
The last thing to remind everyone is that if there is no cover on the feeder, then we will put a lid on the feeder, otherwise there will be a lot of pests inside.
