The palatability of fermented feeds has significantly improved, making them more appealing to pigs. Raw materials such as bran, sweet potato vines, peanut leaves, rice straw, corn cobs, grains, and even chicken manure were once difficult to feed directly to pigs due to their rough texture and low nutritional value. However, after undergoing a fermentation process, these materials transform into a biological feed that is odor-saturated, moderately sweet, and long-lasting. This not only makes the feed more digestible but also helps improve the pigs’ adaptability to biological feed, while offering considerable benefits in saving grain resources.
When using coarse material-based fermented feed, it’s important to properly combine it with conventional concentrates. Pigs should be fed with thick raw food and in fewer meals, adjusting according to the ambient temperature. During summer, the feed can be slightly thicker to help meet the pigs’ water needs. It’s recommended to feed pigs five times a day, avoiding dilute feeding in winter, which can lead to increased urination and loss of body heat. Additionally, the amount of coarse feed should be adjusted based on the pigs’ condition to ensure they maintain good appetite and avoid overeating or under-eating.
The fermented coarse feed should be soaked in cold water for several hours before use. When preparing feed for suckling piglets, the fine crushed material can be filtered through a fine steel mesh, and a small amount of fried soybean flour can be added to enhance the aroma, which encourages better feed intake. The coarser material can then be given to growing pigs. For weaned piglets, adding sugar-rich ingredients like cooked mink skin, carrots, citrus peels, or sugar scraps can make the feed more attractive, leading to increased feed consumption and better daily weight gain.
