Is it good or bad to feed pigs with swill?

Don't even think about feeding pigs with swill. It certainly does more harm than good.

Some friends may be dissatisfied. Let me speak slowly. First of all, ask a question: Why are many countries willing to raise pigs as the main source of meat?

In the final analysis, it is because pigs are omnivores, and protein has a strong transformation ability, which can transform all nutrients into meat. Moreover, pigs do not need to be stocked, and the space required is small. Therefore, countries that love to eat pork generally have a high population density. This is because they take a fancy to pigs, which can make full use of all food residues.

In China, pigs began to eat swill two or three thousand years ago, which is a means to turn waste into treasure. Look at the famous pottery sculptures of Han Dynasty. Isn't it the people who live on the second floor who feed the pigs in 1 building? When you finish eating, just pour the rest downstairs and the pig will eat it.

If you put this in Europe and America, which are sparsely populated, why can't people eat beef? Who has leisure to feed pigs? Moreover, the population density is low, and there is no way to concentrate food scraps. So don't talk about cattle, the status of pigs can't even catch up with sheep in these countries.

When I was a child in the countryside of Kunshan, my family also raised pigs. At that time, of course, pigs mainly ate swill, but the so-called swill was just what they ate from our family. I ate well today, maybe there are some fishbones and bones. People have nothing to eat, and pigs can only brush pot water, add some pig grass and bran, and cook a pot for it.

Of course, my uncle sometimes goes to town to collect restaurant swill, and he can also bring back two barrels, enough for pigs to eat for four or five days. This kind of swill is much richer, with all kinds of leftovers, bones and sometimes even a little wine. Sometimes I even want to take a bite. So my pig likes my uncle best. Every time I see him, he laughs and complains.

But at that time, swill had no food additives, and it was basically natural food. What's more, there are no common glass pieces, toothpicks, cigarette butts, steel balls and the like. So as long as you cook for a while, you can still give it to pigs after thorough disinfection.

Friends! Thirty or forty years ago, how many people could afford boiled fish and pickled fish? You can't even see the barbecue.

This change is very obvious. Swing feed pigs, pigs won't make any difference. In the last few years, when everyone's living conditions were good, my uncle came back with a car full of swill. Pigs eat swill, start to turn red-eyed and have a bad temper, which is not normal at first glance.

Additives are still on the one hand. When cooking swill, there are often ceramic fragments, glass fragments, iron wires, toothpick heads, and even a fork for western food. It's okay for pigs to eat these things, so your forehead is bright, and you will definitely regret eating them wrong.

Secondly, the source of swill is very complicated. Sometimes a swill truck can collect swill from more than a dozen stores. Don't say that cross-contamination may be caused during transportation, and some germs can't even be completely killed when boiled. Not to mention that if it is not thoroughly disinfected, it will cause problems for pigs.

Think about African swine fever, a very important route of transmission is to feed pigs with swill. If the swill is too corrupt, it will also produce various irritating gases, such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide. Eating pigs can cause various digestive and respiratory diseases. My family has a big black sow. When I was a child, it looked like an elephant. It was because of eating swill that some diseases were caused and finally cured.

In addition, feeding pigs with swill may also cause some parasitic infections. Corrupt swill is a breeding ground for all kinds of germs and viruses. Among rural retail investors, it may also cause the spread of people and animals.

Finally, feeding pigs with swill may lead to food poisoning. Pigs have red eyes, bad temper and cramps in their limbs after eating swill. In fact, salt poisoning is caused by the excessive salt content of swill.

So swill feeding pigs is a thing of the past. To tell the truth, who still uses swill? It's all rice bran, coarse grains and a little feed. Different ages! Although swill can save some costs, it is also very harmful and risky.

In recent years, some places began to feed pigs with harmless swill in order to practise economy, which is undoubtedly a good phenomenon. You can feed your leftovers to pigs, but don't try to collect swill in restaurants and canteens.
