Driving pigs is also a science! RenhtoecIC Electric pig driving device allows you to drive pigs better

 

1. Sufficient personnel and appropriate amount of pigs

 

Adequate personnel is the prerequisite for successful driving of pigs, so that they can respond back and forth to prevent the pigs from not advancing according to the designed path, which will increase the workload. In large-scale pig farms, whether it is driving multiple pigs or one pig, there should be at least two people. In the case of sufficient personnel, it is not possible to drive too many pigs at one time. The appropriate amount of driving each batch is 30 to 50. When there are too many pigs, it is difficult to drive and control due to the large activity area. Some pigs will panic and run around. Cause twice the result with half the effort. When turning over a large number of pigs, it should be done in batches.

 

2. Design the route to facilitate driving

 

    Artificially design a driving route. It is best to have fixed and solid walls or iron fences on both sides of the road. You can also use opaque colored strips or door panels to build temporary walls to ensure that the direction of the pigs is clear, so that the pigs will follow the design. route forward. In addition, it is necessary to ensure that there are no obstacles and gullies on the driving route, and the fork roads should be blocked. One person can stand at some small fork roads, so as to prevent the pigs from escaping to the fork roads. Prevent pigs from passing through the crotch, and people running on their backs.

 

3. Timely driving, which is beneficial to the pigs

 

    Avoid bad weather when turning pigs, which is beneficial to the health of the pigs and improves the turnover efficiency. In cold winter, it is suitable to drive pigs in warm weather, especially weaned piglets and nursing piglets are relatively afraid of the cold; in hot summer, you should choose to drive pigs when the morning and evening are cool, especially for pregnant sows. The weather comes to "move".

4. Drive patiently and move forward at an appropriate speed

 

    Pigs have good hearing and poor eyesight. When driving away, you only need to use a wooden stick to knock on the back. After hearing the sound, the pigs will move forward slowly. At this time, you should move forward at the pace of the pigs, and do not rush to drive them away. If you push hard, the pigs walking behind the herd will rush around in panic, which will make the whole herd chaotic, cause the pigs to be injured or turn around and run back, and the turnover efficiency will decrease instead. Especially adult males and sows are prone to pig-biting accidents when chasing and chasing them. Therefore, you must be patient when driving the pigs, and move slowly at the pace of the pigs.

 

5. Drive together to improve efficiency

 

    When growing and finishing pigs on turnover, group driving is often used because of the large number. When turning over pregnant sows or weaned sows, consider the small amount and adopt scattered drives, and some timid and nostalgic sows tend to be disobedient and unwilling to move forward. At this time, several sows can be moved forward together Avoid panic. The method of driving together is not suitable for boars, especially for adult adapted boars. Two boars who have not met will fight and cause death or injury after encountering each other.

 

6. Master the skills and drive scientifically

 

In the driving process, the following methods can be adopted for individual pigs that are difficult to drive:

 

    ① rope pull method. When the sows are transferred to the farrowing bed, some sows are reluctant to leave the gestation cage. If they are driven away by violence or coercive methods, the sows will panic and increase the possibility of stillbirth and abortion. After being quiet, use the rope to wrap the sow's mouth and pull it outward, slowly guiding it out of the gestation cage.

 

    ②Follow the law. When culling sows and old pigs, they are often easily driven on the passage, and when they reach the exit, the pigs will not obey their orders and refuse to get on the car. The culled sows or boars are usually too big to rely on sticks and brute force. You can place a bamboo basket or bucket or similar on the head of the pig to block its sight. The pig will naturally back away if it cannot see the front. In this way, the pigs can be driven backwards into the cart.

 

③ Sub-induction method. Some sows have strong maternal instincts, especially primiparous sows and sows that are weaned early are difficult to remove, and the method of attracting mothers by sons is a very effective way to drive them away. Grab 2 to 3 piglets in the farrowing house and put them in plastic baskets, put the plastic baskets in front of the sows, and slowly remove the plastic baskets when the cry of the piglets attracts the attention of the sows. Lead to the empty house.
