PRODUCTIVITY OF HYBRID PIGS OF ENGLISH ORIGIN UNDER DRY AND COMBINED FEEDING SYSTEM IN CONDITIONS OF INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION

Keywords: pigs, hybrids, feeding system, gains, preservation, feed conversion, age of reaching mass

Abstract

The article studied the preservation of pigs, the intensity of their growth and the payment of pig increments from birth to sale for slaughter under dry and combined feeding systems throughout the entire production cycle. The material for the study was the productive indicators of hybrid pigs of English origin, obtained from a combination of sows (♀ВБ×♂L) and boars of the synthetic line РИС–337 in the conditions of an industrial complex, some of which were grown and fattened under a dry feeding system from birth to slaughter, and the other part was transferred from a dry to a liquid feeding system after growing out. It was established that with the same system of feeding and maintenance in the weaning period and during rearing, there was no significant difference in the intensity of growth of piglets, as well as in the payment of feed in increments. After the transfer of pigs of the experimental group from dry feed during rearing to a liquid system during fattening, caused a slight, by 0.6% deterioration in the preservation of the pig population, but contributed to obtaining a 9.9% higher average daily and absolute gains, by 7, 8% of the weight of pigs at the end of fattening, 5.3% shorter age of reaching 120 kg, 2.9% improvement in feed conversion and 24.4% in the complex index of fattening qualities compared to their counterparts left on a dry feeding system. Animals that had constant dry feed from birth to slaughter had during this period 7.9% lower growth intensity and absolute gains, at the end of the period reached 7.8% less live weight, and showed 1.9% worse feed conversion compared to their counterparts who were transferred to a liquid feeding system after rearing, while no significant difference was found in the survival of piglets. Transferring piglets after rearing on dry fodder to fattening with liquid fodder mixtures did not impair their preservation, at the same time it contributed to the increase of average daily and absolute gains, weight of pigs at the end of fattening, feed conversion and shortening of the fattening period.
