What are the habits of pigs?

(1) omnivore. Pigs with a large appetite are omnivores. The types of pig stomachs are between simple stomachs of carnivores and complex stomachs of ruminants. The feed is widely used and varied. There are no microbes decomposing crude fiber in the stomach, so the microbes born in cecum must be used. Therefore, the content of crude fiber in pig feed should not be too high. When feeding pigs with green coarse feed, attention should be paid to blending. The feed intake of pigs is large, generally 3.5% ~ 4.5% of body weight.

(2) Competitive pig feeding is a prominent feature of its feeding behavior. When feeding, pigs try to occupy a favorable position in the trough, sometimes stepping their forelimbs into the trough, so the trough should pay attention to adding fences. Group feeding eats faster, eats more and gains weight faster than single feeding pigs.

(3) gregarious pigs are timid animals who like to live in groups. They are used to living, sleeping and lying in Chengqun Yu. Pigs with the same weight in the same nest or different nests should be kept in the same pigsty. Groups can live in harmony with each other, but they also have competitive habits. The bigger the group, the more obvious this phenomenon is. People who live alone are mostly precursors of diseases.
