Pig farm construction strategies include site selection planning, architectural design, facilities and equipment, feeding management, and disease prevention and control. The site selection should consider high terrain, good ventilation, far away from pollution sources and convenient transportation. The architectural design should consider the biological characteristics and production process requirements of pigs, including pig houses, feed processing rooms, feed warehouses, veterinary rooms, disinfection rooms, etc. Facilities and equipment include drinking water facilities, feeding facilities, ventilation facilities, insulation facilities, disinfection facilities, etc. Feeding management should include feed management, environmental sanitation management, epidemic prevention management, etc. For disease prevention and control, a complete disease prevention and control system should be established, including vaccination, drug prevention, disinfection systems, etc., and antibody testing and disease monitoring should be carried out regularly.
- Site selection planning
When building a pig farm, you must first consider site selection. The ideal pig farm should be located in a high-lying, dry, well-ventilated place, and away from pollution sources. At the same time, transportation convenience should be taken into consideration, but it should not be located on the main traffic road to prevent noise and pollution from affecting the health of the pigs.
When planning the site, it is necessary to determine the breeding scale and breeding methods, and determine the land size and building layout based on the breeding scale. The breeding method can be selected according to local climate conditions and breeding species. Generally, there are two types: closed type and open type. Closed breeding has good disease prevention effect, but the cost is higher; open breeding is convenient to manage and requires less investment.
- Architectural design
The architectural design of pig farms should consider the biological characteristics and production process requirements of pigs. General pig farm buildings should include pig houses, feed processing rooms, feed warehouses, veterinary rooms, disinfection rooms, etc. Pig houses should be designed in a north-south orientation to facilitate lighting and ventilation.
The internal layout of the pig house should be separated according to pigs of different ages and breeds to ensure the health and production efficiency of the pig group. The feed processing room and feed warehouse should be close to the pig house to facilitate feed supply. Veterinary rooms and disinfection rooms should be located outside the pig farm to reduce the risk of disease transmission.
