The weather in summer is very hot. Many pig farmers pay attention to how to cool the pigs. Sometimes they ignore the management of feed. Summer is the most moldy season of feed. If pigs eat moldy food by mistake, it will lead to diarrhea, vomiting and a series of intestinal diseases. How to make feed moldy reasonably?

1. Control water content in feed and relative humidity of storage environment. The key to prevent mould of grain feed is to reduce its moisture content to the safe range in a short time after harvest. Generally, the moisture content of grain is below 13%, corn is below 12.5%, peanut kernel is below 8%, so mould is not suitable for reproduction, so this moisture content is called safe moisture. The safe water content of various feeds is different. In addition, the safe water content is also related to the storage temperature, which is negative correlation.

2. When the temperature is controlled below 12 ℃, the reproduction and toxin production of mould can be effectively controlled.

3. Prevent insect bites and rodents from using mechanical and chemical control methods to deal with the storage pests in the granary, and pay attention to rat control, because insect pests or rat bites damage grain to make mold easy to reproduce and cause mildew.

5. The feed raw materials and compound feeds processed with mildew inhibitor are easy to mildew, so mildew inhibitor can be used to control mildew during processing. The common fungicides are organic acids and salts, among which propionic acid and salts are the most widely used.

  It is necessary to prevent feed from mildew in summer, so pig farmers must do a good job in preventing feed from mildew. Let pigs have a comfortable summer.
