What are the benefits of using "chicken feather water" to feed native pigs? A few days ago, I was chatting with an old farmer and the topic of chicken feathers came up. While chatting, the old farmer actually said that chicken feathers are a good thing, worth as much as a ton of gold and silver.
Hearing what the old farmer said, I was a little disdainful. Apart from being used as a feather duster, what other value can chicken feathers have? Even retting fertilizer is difficult to retting, and its value can be compared with gold and silver! Dream on!
The old farmer saw from my expression that I did not believe what he said, so he said: "Haven't you ever heard of the saying 'Feeding chicken feathers to livestock and poultry is worth as much as gold and silver'? Since ancient times, People have always regarded chicken feathers as treasures!"
"Why? There is a saying in rural areas that "chicken feathers are worth as much as gold and silver"? I asked the old farmer.
The old farmer said: "You haven't heard of it because you are still young. Our older generation all said this. Besides, I attended a livestock and poultry breeding class last year, and the lecturer also said the same "What? Did you go to the livestock and poultry breeding class? Then tell me what the lecturer said about how chicken feathers can be used to feed livestock and poultry." I immediately became interested, so I asked the old farmer to explain what the teacher said in the livestock and poultry breeding class.
The old farmer said: Chicken feathers are very 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 protein content can be as high as more than 80%. Except for the slightly lower content of lysine and methionine compared with imported fish meal, the content of other trace elements is much higher than that of imported fish meal. In addition, the cystine content is significantly higher than any natural feed. Therefore, chicken feathers perform very well in the field of animal feeding!
The old farmer paused and then said: Protein is an important component of all cells and tissues of the animal body. All body activities in animals require the participation of proteins to complete. It should be said that protein is the basis for the existence of life phenomena.
So, what is the use of "chicken feather water" for feeding pigs? "Chicken Feather Water" can really make native pigs gain weight quickly, and won't it easily make native pigs sick?
Chicken feathers are the feathers that fall off the chicken. In addition to 80% to 85% of crude protein, chicken feathers also contain a large amount of sulfur amino acids, valine, leucine, isoleucine and other nutrients. Moreover, the content of sulfur amino acids ranks first among all natural feeds, and valerine The content of amino acid, leucine and isoleucine is also higher than that in many natural feeds. Therefore, chicken feathers are a good protein feed resource.
In ancient times, people often used chicken feathers to boil water to feed native 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 native pigs can significantly increase feed returns, promote the growth and development of native pigs, and also make native pigs less likely to get sick.
The native pig is the ancestor of pig breeds and its origin is China. Most of the pigs in pig farms now are hybrid pigs imported from foreign countries.
Among the original native pig breeds in my country, there are mainly the "minor pigs" native to the Northeast region; the Bamei pigs native to the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia region; and the Huang-Huaihai pigs native to the Yellow River, Huaihe-Hai river basins. Pigs; Yimeng black pigs native to Linyi, Shandong; Guangdong small-eared pigs native to Guangdong and Guangxi; Guangdong black pigs native to Guangdong; Hainan pigs native to Haikou; Dianhai small-eared pigs native to Yunnan ; Nantang pigs native to Zijin County, Guangdong; Xiang pigs native to Guizhou and Guangxi and Longlin pigs native to Longlin County, Guangxi, etc.
No matter where they are produced, native pigs have the disadvantages of strong fat storage capacity, low lean meat rate, low feed conversion rate and slow growth rate. Under free-range conditions, it generally takes 18-22 months for piglets to grow into large pigs. At the same time, native pigs cannot escape the troubles of various diseases. If there is a way to improve the feed conversion rate of native pigs and at the same time reduce the occurrence of diseases, then the growth rate of native pigs may be accelerated. However, "Chicken Feather Water" can improve the feed conversion rate of native pigs and enhance their immunity. Therefore, feeding "Chicken Feather Water" to sows is not only useful, but also can indeed make native pigs gain weight quickly. At the same time, it can also It can indeed reduce the occurrence of various diseases in native pigs.
