Planning and designing a pig farm on a mountain should consider:
- Site selection
The site selection should take into account factors such as water source, ventilation, lighting and avoidance of pollution. It is recommended to select a site on a mountain, and the height difference should not be too large to facilitate the construction of pig farming facilities and personnel activities. At the same time, the site should be far away from residential areas to avoid noise and odor problems
- Overall layout of the plant area
The overall layout of a pig farm on a mountain should include breeding areas, production areas, office areas and living areas, among which the breeding area is the main area. The design of the breeding area should give priority to the health and welfare of pigs, including sufficient space, good ventilation, sufficient lighting, suitable temperature, and disease control. The production area includes feed storage areas, feed processing areas, pig house cleaning areas, etc. The office area includes offices, laboratories, conference rooms, etc., and the living area includes employee dormitories, canteens, toilets, showers, etc.
3. Pig house design
The design of the pig house should be determined according to the growth stage and breeding quantity of the pigs. It is recommended to use open or semi-open pig houses to ensure ventilation and lighting effects, while reducing the spread of diseases. Appropriate drinking water facilities and pig troughs should be set up in the pig house to ensure the diet and water source of the pigs. In addition, the pig house should also be equipped with appropriate excrement treatment facilities to reduce odor and environmental pollution.
- Feed and water source management
Feed and water source management should be scientific, standardized and reasonable. The feed storage room should be kept dry, ventilated, impermeable and pest-proof. Feed should be fed regularly according to the growth stage and needs of the pigs to avoid overfeeding or underfeeding. The water source should be clean, hygienic and sanitary to ensure that the pigs can drink clean water at any time to prevent the occurrence of infectious diseases
- Disease control
Disease control is one of the important management tasks of the pig farm on the mountain. A sound disease prevention and control management system should be established, regular physical examinations and vaccinations should be carried out on the pigs, and pigs with epidemics should be isolated and treated in time. At the same time, attention should be paid to keeping the site clean and hygienic, and regular disinfection and pest control should be carried out to reduce the spread of germs and pests.
