1. Feeding
Denmark implements a breeding plan for breeding pigs, and crosses different breeds of boars and sows according to different breeds to produce commercial pigs suitable for slaughter.
In the process of breeding, 95% sows use artificial insemination to establish the genetic relationship between different populations. When transporting breeding pigs, use special vehicles with sealed air filters to prevent cross-infection.
feed
Most of the pig feed used in Denmark belongs to grains, and a small amount of additives such as oil, animal fat, bone meal and protein can be added, but hormones will never be used.
All pigs are automatically fed, and they are regularly and quantitatively fed according to the different growth periods of pigs. The standardized model makes the pig's weight and lean meat rate almost the same, so it can be slaughtered efficiently on the production line.
3. Pig house
Denmark attaches great importance to the environment of pig farms, recycling waste water, and applying manure as fertilizer after fermentation. In recent years, Denmark has also increased its research on environmental protection technology, limiting the scale and scope of farms.
4. Knowledge of pigs
Denmark has always believed that only knowledge can raise pigs. In Denmark, pig farmers have to go through three years and eight months of training, but also learn high-tech technologies such as constant temperature control, lighting, ventilation and pig slaughtering.
5. Pay attention to the living conditions of pigs
Since 1999, Denmark has set various hard indicators to ensure the living conditions of pigs. For example, pigs over 20kg have shower service in pig farms, and pigs have designed crawling areas. The roofs of pig farms are covered with natural creatures such as straw and wood, because Danes believe that only qualified living conditions can raise happy pigs.
The above are some technologies and methods of raising pigs in Denmark, which are professional, large-scale and efficient. It takes only three laborers to raise 10 thousand pigs, and no one can shake the position of number one in the world.
