Very right Oh yes. In this Nigeria. Feeding of Pigs in Nigeria has gone beyond the idea that pigs can eat just anything. Give them anything and it's going to be "Gabbage in, Gabbage out" I dont spend my hard earned money to buy feeds whose nutritional values I don't know. Mind you, there are so many feed suppliers and producers out there who sell what I refer to as Gabbage for good feeds and make unsuspecting people to part with money meant for quality feeds-that's me. Any feed I buy MUST be verified or verifiable my brother. I am happy that the seller/producer has agreed to send a sample for proximate analysis if I want which is beautiful though it will pay him better to do the analysis at a reputable laboratory and attach the results for better patronage if he is sure of its nutritional contents expecially in terms of Energy. That's what serious producers do in present day Nigeria and smile to the bank.[/quote] 3 Likes 1 Share |

From my experience at the piggery where I operate.most people are into pig farming and not pig agribusiness.I see most people know nothing and next to nothing about agribusiness and that prompted this training. It is also for those that want to start pig agribusiness and doesn't know how to start. The training is a systematic approach where I will be giving out about 10 e-books on pig farming.Then we move to questions and from what u have read in the e-books.secret of agribusiness like number of feeding times.my insights and insights of successful pig farmers. pig nutrition which is one of my strength 1 Like |

Practical applications of probiotics in pig production Increased sows feed consumption, protection against piglet diarrhea, meat quality improvement and many more… Probiotics are used in all stages of porcine production: sow herd, nursery and growing-finishing pigs. Generally speaking, the use of probiotics aims to establish a healthy gut microbiota, improve health, well-being and productivity of the animals (Cho et al. 2011). However, if we are more specific, the practical application (or result) of using probiotics can be distinct in every context (see table 1). This article briefly describes main applications for which probiotics have been evaluated in different productive stages of swine production. Table 1. Main applications of probiotics in the swine industry. Adapted from Barba-Vidal et al. Practical aspects of the use of probiotics in pig production: A review. Livestock Science 223 (2019) 84–96. Sow herd Reduction of clinical signs of the uterus and/or udder disease Increase feed consumption during last pregnancy stages or lactation Improvement of body condition at the end of lactation Reduction of the weaning–estrus interval due to energy mobilization Improvement of colostrum quality, milk quality and quantity Reduction of gut pathogens in sows and/or piglets Modulation of litter immunity Enhancement of litter size Enhancement of growth rates of the piglets Reduction of clinical signs of diarrhea in piglets Delivery of probiotics to piglets Modulation of stress response Nursery Modulation of piglet’s gut microbiota Protection against pathogenic bacteria, gastrointestinal disorders and diarrhea Enhancement of intestinal barrier function Modulation of immunity Improvement of digestibility, enhanced growth and feed conversion ratio Improvement of productive parameters in piglets Supplementation of targeted nutrients Fattening pigs Improvement of meat quality Improvement of digestibility Reduction of contamination by decreasing fecal NH3- N Reduction of subclinical pathogenic infections or zoonoses Reduction of mortality Improvement of weight gain Improvement of gut health Sow herd and piglets Administering probiotic treatments to sows has demonstrated a dual potential, including benefits for themselves and for piglets. Supplementation of sows with probiotics may increase feed consumption during late pregnancy stages or lactation, improving body condition at the end of lactation (Bohmer et al. 2006). This situation is desirable, because it can cause a reduction of the necessity of energy mobilization at lactation. This, in turn, could be the explanation of the reduction in the weaning–estrus interval that has also been reported with probiotics (Hayakawa et al. 2016). Reproductive-performance-related benefits have also been reported with the use of probiotics in sows. For example, an increase in the number of piglets (Apic et al. 2014) or higher piglet growth rates with greater body weight at weaning (Alexopoulos et al. 2004). Furthermore, a reduction of gut pathogens (Kritas et al. 2015), clinical signs of uterus and/or udder disease (Apic et al. 2014), together with fewer clinical signs of diarrhea in piglets (Taras et al. 2006) have also been described. Finally, there is an ongoing scientific interest to assess the capacity of sows to deliver probiotics to piglets in early-life stages (Scharek-Tedin et al. 2015). Nursery piglets Up until today, the nursery period is where the use of probiotics is receiving more interest in swine production, with the aim to improve weaning outcome (de Lange et al. 2010). Weanling piglets have low disease resistance, which makes them vulnerable to stress reactions and invasion by pathogenic microorganisms (Konstantinov et al., 2006). This can be a serious problem, as this period is considered critical in terms of productivity, because performance parameters at the first week post-weaning can be correlated to subsequent performance of the pigs up to the market weight (Kats et al., 1992). Probiotics can potentially act beneficially in these animals in several ways. For instance, it has been reported that supplementing weanlings with probiotics may prevent or improve diarrhea (Bhandari et al. 2008), re-establish microbial balance after a transient drop in favorable bacteria (Krause et al. 2010), protect against pathogenic bacteria (Casey et al. 2007), enhance intestinal barrier function (Guerra-Ordaz et al. 2014) and stimulate immunity (Lessard et al. 2009). As a consequence of one or a combination of the before-mentioned reasons, probiotics have been reported to improve productive parameters of post-weaning piglets in many occasions (Ahmed et al. 2014, Bhandari et al. 2010). Fattening pigs The main objective to use probiotics in this phase would be to enhance productivity. Scientific literature published until now would support the idea that although older pigs have more developed immunity, and capacity to resist intestinal disorders, there is still a margin for probiotics to act and potentiate growth; especially in early growing phases or high-density diets (Meng et al. 2010). Improvement of the final meat quality and organoleptic properties could also be another target for probiotics in this phase, as probiotics have been described to affect meat color, marbling and firmness scores (Černauskienė et al., 2011); and reduce potentially zoonotic infections such as Salmonella spp. (Casey et al., 2007). Finally, a weakly explored but interesting potential of probiotics is to reduce environmental pollutants from animal manure. Several probiotics have been reported to be capable of reducing potential pollutants from manure such as fecal noxious gas (H2S) or ammonia (NH3) content, particularly in pigs fed high-nutrient density diets (Yan and Kim, 2013). The direct mechanisms for these effects are still unknown, although indirect mechanisms such as improving feed efficiency, nutrient retention and modulation of gut microbiota are probably involved. |
