As a biological feed additive that improves the growth rate of pigs, improves the quality of pork and reduces the cost of breeding, compound probiotics have been widely used in mainland China. However, in the actual use process, some pig farms are not ideal when using special compound probiotics for pig raising. There are several reasons for this:
1. Inappropriate use
Cause analysis
Uneven mixing: If the probiotics are mixed unevenly with the feed, it may lead to insufficient probiotic intake in the pigs.
Improper timing: Probiotics may not be fully effective when used during periods of stress or illness in pigs.
Improper storage conditions: Probiotics are sensitive to temperature and humidity, and improper storage conditions may result in reduced activity.
Improvements
Make sure the probiotics are well mixed with the feed and use special mixing equipment.
Probiotics should be used when the pigs are in good health and avoid use in stressful or diseased conditions.
Store probiotics properly according to product instructions and avoid high temperatures and humidity.
Second, the use of a large number of antibiotics affects the effect
Cause analysis
Antibiotics inhibit probiotic activity: Antibiotics may kill or inhibit the growth of probiotics, reducing their effectiveness.
Antimicrobial resistance: Long-term use of antibiotics in large quantities may lead to the development of antimicrobial resistance in the gut microbiota of pigs.
Improvements
Use antibiotics wisely and avoid abuse and overdose.
Use time between probiotics to ensure that the probiotics have enough time to work.
Third, the quality of pig seedlings
Cause analysis
Poor health: Probiotics may be limited if they have health problems such as low immunity.
Genetic characteristics: Pigs of different breeds or individuals may respond differently to probiotics.
Improvements
Choose healthy, genetically sound piglets.
Regular health checks are carried out on the piglets to ensure they are in good health.
Fourth, feed quality
Cause analysis
Unbalanced nutrients: An imbalance in the feed may affect the use of probiotics in pigs.
Contains anti-nutritional factors: Certain feed ingredients may inhibit the activity of probiotics.
Improvements
Ensure feed quality and provide a balanced nutrient profile.
Avoid feed ingredients that contain anti-nutritional factors.
5. Feeding management
Cause analysis
Poor environmental conditions: Poor farming environments, such as high humidity and poor ventilation, may inhibit the effects of probiotics.
Excessive feeding density: too high feeding density may lead to increased stress in pigs, affecting the effect of probiotics.
Improvements
Improve the breeding environment to ensure suitable temperature, humidity and ventilation conditions.
Reasonable control of feeding density to reduce pig stress.
conclusion
When using compound probiotics, pig farms need to consider multiple factors such as application methods, antibiotic use, pig seedling quality, feed quality and feeding management. Through scientific and reasonable management measures, the use effect of compound probiotics can be effectively improved, and the health and production efficiency of pigs can be improved. At the same time, continuous monitoring and evaluation of the use of probiotics and timely adjustment of management strategies are the keys to ensuring the best benefits of probiotics
