Chapter 23 Pig Herd Feng Yiping

In addition to cattle, there is another kind of livestock that must be raised with care, and that is pigs, especially sows that can produce piglets. This Feng Yiping also has a say. Because of the few years of secondary school, in order to maintain the life, the family raised sows.

A sow will give birth to two litters of piglets a year, each with about ten piglets. The tradition of survival of the fittest in the animal world has a direct expression here. In each litter, there are always one or two piglets who are naturally thinner than other siblings, and on several occasions, the piglets born are more fertile than the sow.

Feng Yiping remembered that their sows had 13 piglets, but there were more than 13 piglets on several occasions. Therefore, it is difficult for the weakest pig to eat its mother's milk, and the weakest pig is also the most troublesome.

This little piglet costs 70 to 80 yuan or even hundreds of dollars. Of course, it must be served well. Just use rice soup boiled and ground rice milk, put it in a feeding bottle, and hold the piglet to feed it - just like feeding a child's milk. .

It's not enough to eat this all the time. If you still want breast milk, you can only wait for the other piglets to finish their milk, and then carefully send it to its mother to let it suck. The reason why you should be careful is because the lactating sow has a strong temper and is very protective of her cubs. Even if the owner approaches, she will be very vigilant. Be careful.

In addition, breastfeeding mothers, whether they are human mothers or pig mothers, have a great temper and are easily irritable - Feng Yiping also experienced this.

It has been fed once, and you let a little thing to feed it. If it is in a bad mood, it will lie down on the ground and hold it all down. Let the little guy babble by the side, it closes its eyes, and two Only the big ears are drooping, pretending that they can't see or hear. At this time, you have to tickle it well, coax it, and then it will turn sideways and expose the **.

Be careful, as you eat, the mother pig will get impatient again, and it's not over, so when she turns over, the thin little guy is not sensitive at all, and he has no time to think about other things when he eats deliciously. It will be pressed under the stomach by the mother, and if it is compacted, the mother of several hundred kilograms will kill most of its life in one fell swoop, so at this time, you must be quick-witted, or you will become an accomplice.

There are more than two months from the birth of the piglets to the sale of the piglets. The price of piglets is high, and a piglet grows one kilogram more, which adds up to ten or twenty kilograms, and an average of three or four yuan per kilogram, which is nearly a hundred dollars, so those two months really cost a lot. strength.

The first thing to do is to feed the sow well so that she has milk to feed her piglets. When the piglets grow up slowly, after weaning, let them eat well and grow strong. At that time, the family had no money to buy feed, so they used soil methods to grind the rice into rice slurry with a stone mill, then boiled it with water and gave it to the piglets. It is not easy to grind more than ten kilograms of rice with the original stone mill every day.

And just like a child, it is a long night, and at least one more feeding is required in the middle. In the middle of the night, it takes nearly two hours before and after a large pot of rice milk to boil, and then greet them to eat clean, and then drive them out for convenience, and then coax them home one by one.

If you want the little pig to eat more, you have to use your brains, sleep only after eating, eat after sleeping, although it will grow meat, but after that, it will only eat less and less. What to do, let the piglets exercise moderately every day.

Therefore, in Feng Yiping's resume, in addition to cattle herding, another item is pig herding.

The mother pig and the pig were the first to walk in front, with a flat stomach and some staggering steps. It screamed as it walked, so a group of white, black, and flower baby pigs followed in a pile, chasing after me, and the little tails flicked and flicked. All the little pigs responded to the mother pig with a similar melody, but it was not neat and lively.

There is a piece of flat land on the hill, which is usually used for drying. The little guys formed a group in twos and threes, and they were happy in the field. Mother Pig made a mouth here and there in the grass next to her. When she was a little tired, she returned to the field lazily and lay down.

As soon as it lay down, the little pigs swarmed over, you scrambled for it, and after a while, there was only the sound of sucking. Not long after, Mother Pig called out, struggled a few times, and changed to lie flat on the ground and stopped feeding.

A few little pigs still arched their belly with their small mouths, and the mother pig squinted and ignored it. Seeing that this trick was useless, a little pig ran to the mother's head, screaming eagerly, and arching her face with her small mouth, the mother pig was still unmoved. Impatient, he shook his head and swept the little guy far away.

The little pig who rolled out so far seemed a little dizzy and a little confused about the situation. It lay on the ground quietly for a while before regaining its senses. It was silent for a while, then it let out a happy cry, spread its hooves, and ran towards the other brothers and sisters happily. There are only a few left, next to Mother Pig, taking a quiet nap.

Every time at this time, there are always some people who drop by to see which one grows the largest, which one is the most lively, which one is the most edible, which one is the most powerful... This is for the sake of being able to catch it in the future. Target.

In this way, the whole family worked hard for more than two months, and finally, the day of separation came. Picked a day, the mother pig was locked in the pigsty, and the piglets were locked in the house. The people who had made an appointment a long time ago came to the house together, and each grabbed the piglet they liked. Feng Yiping's family doesn't care if he grabs the one he likes or not. After the final weighing, the piglets are packed in sacks or baskets and carried to their new home.

Since the moment the switch was switched on, the mother pig has not been quiet. She called out one after another, walked to the house again and again, and was pulled back by the rope tied around her neck again and again, but she still worked tirelessly. .

The little pigs were screaming more and more urgently and loudly. The sound of the sound was unease and panic. The mother pig heard it and became more and more excited. The voice was full of anxiety and concern.

But in the end, it could only watch in vain the little piglets being carried away by strangers.

Some piglets struggled to jump up from the basket again and again, with their calves on the edge of the basket, watching the mother pig keep barking or crying, the mother pig rushed in that direction again and again, every time. Tighten the rope tightly, straight...

For several days after that, the sow will be sullen and unwilling to even eat.

Strange to say, in the three years when Feng Yiping was in secondary school, that is, the most difficult time for the family, the sows raised were all good, rarely sick, and each litter gave birth to a dozen or so, and the survival rate was also high. It can add nearly 2,000 income to the family. But after he started working, the family continued to raise sows, but there were always such troubles and it was not cost-effective. In the end, no sows were raised.
