Feeding of pigs completely depends on the age periods which conditionally are divided into three stages. The first stage of "Podsosnaya" lasts from the birth to four weeks. The second stage of "Depriving" proceeds before achievement by a pig of six weeks. The stage of "Growing" is considered final. The conditions of cultivation are characteristic of each of them.
Right after birth the pigs need for food sow colostrum. At it there are antibodies which are acquired by kids only in the first day after the birth. Then during all podsosny period they need only milk of mother and water. Milk of a sow contains all nutrients, necessary for them. As additive from 6-9dnevny age it is possible to add a prestarterny forage as a part of which vitamins and minerals for the optimum growth of pets are balanced to a diet of pigs. For normalization of digestion it is possible to include fermental additives in food of pigs. When pigs reach more than 17 kg of weight, take away them from a sow. During "Depriving" their food requires fodder mix from the substances mixed in a certain proportion. Composition of mix: barley without film – 31.8%, fish meal – 19%, oats without films – 10%, wheat – 10%, milk substitute – 8%, soy meal of-8%, dry skim milk – 7%, corn – 5%, premix - 0.5%, baking soda – 0.5%, table salt – 0.2%. Give this mix in a dry form. Each pig usually eats during from 35 to 56 in the afternoon 15 kg of a product. If pigs were taken away from mother when their weight did not exceed 2.5 kg at the age of 5-10 days yet, then they need special premix which would fill shortage of sow milk. In it the percentage of dry skim milk is specially increased. At the age of 28 days the weight of a pig already has to be over 7.5 kg, and in 56 days – over 20 kg. For this period to kids feed from two to two and a half kilograms of a prestarterny forage and about twenty kilograms of the starter. At a stage of "Growing" it is useful to include in a forage of pigs a crude protein - about 22-24% of all volume of food. Then it is necessary to transfer young pigs to a dry feed which contains 16% of nitrogenous additives gradually. It is necessary to carry out feeding of pigs in precisely certain time through equal intervals. They have to receive the first portion early in the morning. The balanced food and observance of the mode of feeding - indispensable conditions of cultivation of young growth of pigs. It allows to reach gain in the minimum terms.
