About cultivation and cultivation of the Vietnamese pigs our newspaper wrote more than once
About cultivation and cultivation of the Vietnamese pigs our newspaper wrote more than once. In this publication we would like to discredit some myths and the conjectures connected with the Vietnamese pigs, having generalized experience domestic, including Crimean, enthusiasts of their cultivation.
Myth the first: The Vietnamese pigs eat generally a grass therefore cares of their feeding disappear by itself.
Answer: Incorrectly. Certainly, pigs can be planted only on a pasture, but hardly there will be big additional weights and worthy posterity.
Myth of the second: With childbirth to help sows it is not necessary – at them everything occurs naturally, as in the wild nature.
Answer: Incorrectly. At independent childbirth, as a rule, result pitiable. At some pigs childbirth proceeds long – till eight o’clock, and a pig if during hour not to allow to a nipple that he received colostrum, most likely, it is possible to lose.
Myth the third: To monthly age pigs reach weight of 10 kg.
Answer: Incorrectly. At monthly age average weight – 4-5 kg. Separate copies which in a month 6 kg and more, but it more likely an exception weigh sometimes come across. To weight of 10 kg there correspond pigs at the age from two about three months. For control of growth and development of pigs it is necessary to carry out control weighings, and for the 3rd and 10th day of life – anemia prevention by iron preparations.
Myth the fourth: the Vietnamese pigs seldom are ill, possessing strong immune system.
Answer: Truly. In two years of supervision there was no case of diseases. The organism of the Vietnamese pigs differs magnificent genetic memory. They never will be mistaken and won’t eat a poisonous plant. The only thing that it is necessary to remember - beginning in 45 days and further quarterly to carry out the ward prevention gelmintoza with the help ekomektina (ivermektina) hypodermically either albendozdola or fonbendazola (to food). The Vietnamese pigs are sensitive, from bad leaving at them the depression can develop.
Upon transition to new types of forages pigs sometimes have intestinal frustration. It is recommended to apply the ordinary "Smekta" which solution fill in to pigs by means of a syringe or an enema to the smallest. To pigs is more senior "Biovit" helps – it add in food.
Favorably their stay all day long on vygule influences development of pigs. At pigs who contain without vygula, the underdeveloped muscles, some friability, deformation of hoofs are observed. It is useful for good development of pigs to have a sandbox and the mud pool.
That pigs were strong and better developed, it is necessary to add them vitamins, for example Klfostonik or "Chiktonik", to use premixes and additives, for example "Prelak".
Myth the fifth: The Vietnamese pigs very "early", and already at five-months age they can be coupled.
Answer: Partially truly. The Vietnamese pigs really very much early become polovozrely. Pigs in three-four start to prepare month for production of posterity. However to admit them to wild boars follows not earlier than at achievement of weight of 30-32 kg. Only in this case we can hope for strong, healthy, numerous posterity.
Myth of the sixth: Meat of the Vietnamese pigs gentle, juicy, doesn’t contain some fat.
Answer: As to meat, however, but fat, thickness two-three fingers, are present. Fat and a smalets differ excellent taste.
Myth of the seventh: The Vietnamese pigs eat very little, therefore their contents is very favorable in comparison with other breeds of pigs.
Answer: Truly. Adult pigs eat often, but gradually. Costs of a food make 40-50 kopeks a day on an adult individual. Pigs manage slightly more expensively, however, as well as pregnant females, after all at their daily food there is a milk (cow, and it is better goat). A grass of a pig eat various, but with bigger hunting regale on a clover, a lucerne, an amaranth. In the winter eat hay which serves both a laying, and a forage. Big help in a winter diet of the Vietnamese pigs is the pumpkin. Give it separately or add in the concentrated forage.
The success in cultivation of the Vietnamese pigs directly depends on the young growth acquired by you and your diligence.
Unfortunately, there is the most complete discredit of the Vietnamese pigs. The people buying for considerable money a couple of nice pigs, don’t understand then, why their pigs by a year of life weigh forty-sixty kgs, and sows can’t become pregnant, having reached age of ten-twelve months.
All the matter is that many factory owners, owing to ignorance of bases of breeding cultivation, receive posterity by closely related crossing, extending examples of breed worsened further.
Therefore it is necessary to pay special attention to the next moments upon young growth purchase: don’t buy a couple of pigs from one dung. Don’t get by no means a manufacturing male pig on some sows. A mumps and a hryachok, being bought in this place, surely will be relatives. Take an interest, where breeding pigs were got: if pigs from the same seller, most likely, they appear one blood.
Don’t hesitate to ask weight of a pig at the birth and to dynamics of its development with intervals in ten days. Demand to show parents of pigs. If the pig weighs 3-3,5 kg and the seller argues that to it month from a sort, know that the sow who have brought it should have drooped dairy shares, and it looks grown thin. In the absence of these symptoms to you, most likely, show or other sow, or pigs of more advanced age.
Special attention turn on appearance of pigs acquired by you. It is necessary to give preference to pigs with well developed muscles and the strong, widely put extremities. The head should be a wide form, with a bend of nasal bones (mopsovidnost). It is very characteristic sign of the Vietnamese breed. The long, extended narrow head, a veretenoobrazny trunk, iksoobrazny feet – the testimony of late ripeness, konstitutsionalny weakness and degeneration.
At a healthy pig wool equal, a body hard, brought down, under a tail chilly, behavior active, good appetite, shining, bright eyes. Podmakhivaniye a tail here and there speaks about great mood of a pig. Learn, from what age and the pig is accustomed to what sterns. Remember that transfer from one type of feeding on another should occur gradually. Be not afraid to take pigs from the first dung with good data, but be careful at a choice of pigs from a numerous dung (more than twelve heads). The quantity, as a rule, affects quality.
At implementation of these simple requirements you will secure yourselves against further problems and can be convinced that cultivation and the maintenance of pigs of the Vietnamese vislobryukhy breed very favorable and fascinating occupation.
In the Crimea rural dwellers and citizens, also are engaged in cultivation and cultivation of the Vietnamese pigs. Thanks to active promotion in periodicals, four years ago Yarusov’s family from Okhotnikovo’s village of the Saksky area got for 110 dollars in the Simferopol area at the farmer the Vietnamese mumps and remained is very happy. It is very favorable animals, – they tell, – Grow quickly. At the first farrow the issue makes 7-12 pigs, and at the subsequent – till 13-15 and more. Pigs are born able to see, with live mass of 300-500 grams and very mobile. Already through a couple of hours after the birth don’t demand to itself special attention. Sows from the Vietnamese pigs turn out very careful. For a year, for 2,5 farrows they "bring up" to 30 pigs.
The Vietnamese pigs – vegetarians, rationally use any forage which prepare from a kitchen garden waste. With the advent of these pigs on a farmstead any blade doesn’t vanish. With pleasure they eat a sow-thistle, an euphorbia, a bittercress, a dandelion. During the winter period animals willingly eat hay from raznotravya and lucernes. From the concentrated forages in "menu" of pigs include zernootxody and the compound feed intended for ordinary pigs that yields good results at cultivation and fatten young growth. Podsosnym sows once per day are given swill with an oil cake. The forage is raised in the raw that simplifies their contents.
Despite that Yarusova not professionals, they at cultivation of pigs don’t allow closely related pairing. For these purposes bought a hryachka from the breeder from Veresayevo’s village of the same area. In their village two more families grow up "Vietnamese".
The Vietnamese pigs call by "the walking refrigerator. They can be hammered from the 3rd monthly age that the family always was with meat. Meat, according to owners, very tasty, gentle, dietary. Fat layer no more than 2 centimeters. Live weight of adult animals – from 80 to 130 kgs.
