What are the benefits of using chicken feather water to feed local pigs? A few days ago, I chatted with an old farmer and talked about chicken feathers. Chatting, the old farmer actually said that chicken feathers are good things, comparable to the value of a ton of gold and silver.

after hearing what the old farmer said, I am a little disdainful. Besides being a feather duster, what value can chicken feathers have? Even compost is hard to rot, and its value can be compared with gold and silver! Dream On!

The old farmer saw from my manner that I didn't believe him, so he said, "Haven't you ever heard of the saying that chicken feathers are worth more than gold and silver?"? Since ancient times, people have treated chicken feathers as treasures! "

"what? There is also a saying in the countryside that' chicken feathers feed livestock and poultry, and value is worth more than gold and silver'? Why haven't I heard of it? " I asked the old farmer.

The old farmer said, "You haven't heard of it because you are still young. Our previous generation said so. Besides, I attended a livestock and poultry breeding class last year, and the lecturers also said so! "

"what? Did your father go to the livestock and poultry breeding class to attend classes? Then tell me what the lecturer said about chicken feathers feeding livestock and poultry. " When the old farmer said this, I suddenly became interested, so I asked the old farmer to talk about what the teacher said in the livestock and poultry breeding class.

The old farmer said that chicken feathers are rich in nutrients, mainly containing protein, lysine, methionine and trace elements such as iron, manganese, copper, zinc, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, selenium and magnesium. Among them, the content of protein can be as high as 8% or more, and the contents of other trace elements are much higher than those of imported fish meal except that the contents of lysine and methionine are slightly lower than those of imported fish meal. In addition, the content of cystine is obviously higher than that of any natural feed. Therefore, chicken feathers have performed very well in the field of animal breeding!

After a pause, the old farmer said: protein is an important component of all cells and tissues in animals. All body activities in animals need the participation of protein. It should be said that protein is the basis of the existence of life phenomena.

So, what's the use of "chicken feather water" for pigs? "Chicken feather water" can really make local pigs gain weight quickly, and is it not easy to make local pigs sick?

a chicken feather is a feather that falls off a chicken. Chicken feathers contain not only 8%~85% crude protein, but also a lot of nutrients such as sulfur amino acids, valine, leucine and isoleucine. Moreover, the content of sulfur amino acids ranks first in all natural feeds, and the contents of valine, leucine and isoleucine are higher than those in many natural feeds. Therefore, chicken feathers are a good feed resource in protein.

In ancient times, people often used chicken feathers to boil water to feed local pigs. According to ancient records, "chicken feather water" has good palatability, high digestion and absorption rate, and is very safe. Using "chicken feather water" to feed local pigs can significantly improve feed remuneration, promote the growth and development of local pigs, and make local pigs less sick.

Native pigs are the ancestors of pig breeds, and their origin is China. At present, most pigs in pig farms are hybrid pigs imported from abroad.

Among the original local pig breeds in China, there are mainly "Min pig" which is native to Northeast China. Bamei pig native to Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia region; Huang Huai hai pig, native to the Yellow River and Huaihe River basins; Yimeng black pig, native to Linyi, Shandong Province; Guangdong-Guangdong small-eared pig, native to Guangdong and Guangxi; Guangdong black pig, native to Guangdong; Hainan pig native to Haikou; Yunnan small-eared pig native to Yunnan; Nantang pig, native to Zijin County, Guangdong Province; Xiang pigs native to Guizhou and Guangxi and Longlin pigs native to Longlin County, Guangxi.

No matter where local pigs are produced, they all have the disadvantages of strong fat storage capacity, low lean meat rate, low feed conversion rate and slow growth rate. In the state of stocking, it usually takes 18-22 months from piglets to slaughter to grow into big pigs. At the same time, local pigs can't get rid of various diseases. If there is a way to improve the feed conversion rate of local pigs and reduce their diseases, then the growth rate of local pigs may be accelerated. However, "chicken feather water" can improve the feed conversion rate of local pigs and enhance their immunity. Therefore, feeding "chicken feather water" to sows is not only useful, but also can really make local pigs gain weight quickly, and at the same time, it can really reduce the occurrence of various diseases of local pigs.
