Farming Techniques | Effective Care of Wild Boars

Currently, there are many people across the country setting up hybrid boar farms. In some places, the number of wild boars is up to hundreds, thousands, and the number of sporadic raising of a few children in the family is not small. The delicious hybrid wild boar meat is very typical, lean, low in fat, low in cholesterol, so consumers love it. Join BSF Smart Farm to learn the right hybrid boar care technique.

Simple Breeding Boar Breeding Techniques

Technology bred wild boar: Nowadays, people’s demand for livestock products is increasing, especially rare and special meats.

One of the wild animals favored by many Vietnamese people is the wild boar. Domestication of wild boar, crossbreeding with domestic pigs is being researched and applied by many farms and breeding facilities in our country.

Varieties and traits:

Name: Wild boar is a cross between a male wild boar and a sow that is a free-range local pig of the ethnic people (almost wild pig breed) to create a hybrid with a high hybrid advantage of both parents. : Has strong resistance, ability to endure hardship with high natural habitat, few diseases, very low loss rate…

Body shape:   Boar hybrid is balanced, agile, moves flexibly, a bit thin, long, straight back, slim belly, long and small legs, long neck, small head, long and pointed, small ears and hearing , strong fangs, dark brown or dark gray fur, a single root with 3 tips, hair along the back and neck is thick, longer and stiffer, smoldering eyes look wild… Weight at adulthood mature (males are usually larger than females), males weigh 50-70 kg, females weigh 30-40 kg…

 

Habitat and habitat: Wild boar is a bit shy, has good hearing and smell, herd activities and natural selection shows wildness… Likes to live in small herds of a few pigs, boars usually prefers to live alone (unless the sow is in heat).

Suitable habitats are gardens, grasslands near ponds and lakes… Likes to work at night, during the day, find a quiet, secluded place to sleep, rest…

Value and market: The hybrid wild boar meat is slightly pale in color, not red like domestic pork, but has a lot of lean, less fat, thin skin and meat, the meat is delicious and distinctive, the cholesterol content is low, consumers are very satisfied. Love it so it can be sold at a high price…

Seeing the value of wild boar, in recent years, many households in provinces such as Dong Nai, Binh Duong, Binh Phuoc… have organized the domestication of wild boars, the organization of breeding, care and rearing of hybrid wild boars. , organize joint ventures, associate product consumption with restaurants and hotels in big cities bringing high economic efficiency.

Breeding and breeding:

 

Select varieties:

Choose the ones with barhead, deep chest, well-formed, lively, straight back, moderately large belly, wide hips, smooth fur, strong four legs, well developed and functioning genitals. If possible, you should choose to die first (ḍng, like parents, grandparents…), through yourself (appearance, adaptability, production ability…) and die later.

Mating pairing:

Ideally, female wild boars should be inbred with male wild boars or female wild boars should be interbred with male wild boars to create a commercial hybrid for meat…

Inbreeding and suitable time of insemination:

Skip the first 1-2 times of estrus, because the body is not yet complete, ovulation is less, mating, conception is low.

The cycle of estrus of pigs is 21 days, estrus period lasts 3-5 days. The appropriate time of breeding is at the end of the 2nd day or the beginning of the 3rd day (depending on breed, age), so it is necessary to monitor the performance of pigs to breed. When the vulva changes from bright pink to pale pink, there are wrinkles and a lot of mucus secretion, the ears are pointed forward, there is a reflex to stand still (mother) is the most suitable time for mating.

When the sow shows signs of heat, we put the boar in the sow garden or let the female pig in the boar garden. Male pigs will breed continuously, regardless of day and night until the female pig refuses to stop. It is possible to double mix 2 times in the early morning and late afternoon (or vice versa). After 21 days, the sow does not return to heat, it is possible that the sow is pregnant.

Breeding boar barn:

The barn is very simple, however, it is necessary to master some characteristics and behaviors of wild boar to arrange the barn.

Should choose high ground and drainage to arrange rearing. The breeding site should also have a source of clean water. Not only will it provide enough water for pigs to drink, but more importantly, it will maintain the rich flora in the place where they are raised and keep the right humidity.

The barn is as far away from residential areas and roads as possible. Wild instincts have put them in a state of extreme alertness and always run away when they hear a sound.

We can raise hybrid wild boar in the cage style or raise it freely in green areas, surrounded by fences. It is important that the fence system is very sturdy.

We can enclose the B40 net into natural farming gardens, with solid foundations (because of wild boars or burrows), each farming garden is 50-100m2 wide (depending on the capacity of the land) including a large barn of 20 – 100 square meters. 30m2 house about 4-5 adult sows, they will live and breed directly in this area. Boars are raised separately, one garden for each pig, each garden is 40 – 50m2 wide, in which there is a cage with a width of 5-10m2.

Breeding barn, covered from rain and sun, over 2.5m high, natural ground, with a slope of 2-3%… ensuring ventilation, cleanliness, cool in summer, warm in winter, Avoid rain, drafts…

With the initial scale of raising 10 animals (1 male, 9 female), it is necessary to have 3 rearing gardens. Two gardens for breeding female pigs, each garden is 50-100m2 wide, in which there are 2 cages, each barn is 20-30m2 wide. A boar garden of 40-50m2 wide including a 5-10m2 wide barn…

Food and servings:

Including, fresh green food (grass, plants of all kinds), refined food (cereal grains, tubers, sprouts, roots of all kinds), mineral salts such as kitchen ash, clay, mixture of rocks, etc. Studies show that wild boars often come to the fields to burn ashes and clay to eat.

Food rations for common wild boar: 50% are vegetables, tubers, fruits of all kinds (can be produced on the farm), 50% are bran, rice, cereals of all kinds, beer wort, bean curd… Each Feeding twice a day (morning, afternoon), an adult hybrid pig consumes about 2.0-3.0kg of food of all kinds.

Food for wild boars, provided by humans, may lack nutrients, especially protein, minerals and vitamins … so in addition to adding protein-rich concentrates and vitamins, it is necessary to add licking stones. for pigs. Mixed licking stones with mineral supplements can be purchased or mixed according to the ratio (salt 100g; iron sulphate 100g; copper sulphate 50g; sulfur 100g; slaked lime 1,000g… clay just enough 3kg) for pigs to lick freely as well. only about 20-25g/head/day.

The food of the wild boar is mainly plants. Nutrient-rich food should not be abused to raise hybrid wild boar because it will change the meat quality of the wild boar and sometimes cause diarrhea in pigs.

Pigs eat fresh green feed less water, but also need to have enough clean and cool water for pigs to drink freely. Water has no nutritional meaning, but it is very important for the survival and development of pigs, especially when the weather is hot…

Every day, the barn must be cleaned, removed the leftovers, cleaned the feeder, the drinking trough…

Foster care:

Wild boar is suitable for grazing in hedgerows or natural grazing, with little human impact. Wild boar hybrid is easy to raise, high economic efficiency.

Food rations are mainly fresh food, vegetables, fruits, sprouts, roots, refined foods including cereal grains of all kinds, food supplemented with mineral salts such as kitchen ash, clay, etc. can add to the barn or grazing garden some mixed concentrate, bone, bone meal, ṣ powder, stone lick mixture… for pigs to eat freely so that the new canines are blunted.

Boars: Good management and care, 1 boar can mate 5-10 female pigs. Boars must be reared separately and have a nutritious diet, especially high-protein concentrate. On mating day, add fine food, 1-2 eggs, mineral salts, free-feeding vitamins…

Breeding sow:  Blood Boar is lucky to give birth, gives birth to many children, can give birth to 2 litters each year, each litter of 6-7 children, especially has a litter of 9-10 children and is good at raising children (very good at raising children). In the wild, when giving birth, the mother pig takes care of and nurtures her offspring and separates herself from the herd when the pig grows up…

Wild boar breed naturally all year round. The basic problem is to track the bat’s expression to the breed and determine the appropriate time of insemination. Pregnancy period 3 months, 3 weeks, 3 days (114 -115 days) can give birth.

For pregnant sows, the first 2 months of pregnancy should be fed with a normal diet of vegetables, tubers, fruits, cereals of all kinds, etc., can add mixed concentrate, 15g salt, 20g mineral per day. . After 2 months until farrowing, it is necessary to supplement with nutrient-rich concentrate, especially protein, minerals, vitamins… On the day of farrowing, pigs can eat porridge, less salt, less green vegetables to prevent milk sauce. … Pregnant pigs should be raised separately for convenient care and nurturing…

For nursing sows, feed ration must ensure quantity, quality and type. When the piglets are 1.5-2 months old, having eaten the food provided by humans, the mother can eat a normal diet. It is not recommended to breed sows in heat during lactation, because it is difficult to conceive or conceive but the quantity and quality of piglets born are not satisfactory.

Piglet:

 

Newborn piglets have black hair, with yellow-brown stripes running along the body, no need to deliver, cut the umbilical cord, only about 30 minutes to 1 hour piglets can stand up to suckle. 15-20 days of running and starting to practice eating grass and trees. Piglets aged 1.5-2 months are strong, can eat food provided by humans, can wean, separate the herd to breed…

Newborn pigs can reach 300-500 gr/head, 1 month old 3-5 kg, 2 months old 8-10 kg, 6 months old 20-25 kg, 12 months old can reach 60-70% of adult weight Fort. With the usual way of raising and nutrition, after 6 months of raising, piglets can reach a weight of 25kg and sell meat.

Every day, piglets should be exercised and in close contact with humans.

Veterinary work:

Hybrid wild boar is a newly bred animal with high resistance to disease. However, hybrid wild boar also often suffers from some diseases such as cholera, diarrhea, pasteurellosis, foot-and-mouth disease, fluke disease, scabies and some other diseases…

When the wild boar has some diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, it is possible to use drugs to treat abdominal pain, abdominal pain, flatulence, indigestion, etc. For drinking or injection, or 5-10 kg of wild coconut vegetables can be used for pigs to eat. or supplement with food, bitter and acrid drinks such as green guava, carrots, areca roots, coconut roots… can also be cured.

Good nursing care, clean eating, hygienic food and nutritional value, clean barns… It is necessary to apply biosecurity measures such as: Sanitize, disinfect the barn, isolate the livestock area from the surrounding areas… determine vaccination against infectious diseases such as paratyphoid, cholera, foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), E.coli, rabies… according to the epidemiological characteristics of regions and regulations of veterinary authorities.

When the weather changes or the health status of pigs shows signs of illness, it is necessary to add antibiotics to the feed or water for pigs according to the process of “using medicine for 3 days, resting for 7 or 10 days, then continuing to use it”. 3 days”, and so on until the pigs return to normal, with a dose of only 1/2-1/3 of the treatment dose…

Breeding Wild Boar Care

I. Food:

There are 2 types of food:

– Raw food includes: banana tree, banana peel, water spinach, vegetables…, grasses, green fruits…
– Refined food: is a type of food with less fiber and higher nutritional composition, including bran, rice, corn, beans, potatoes, cassava … For each stage, we arrange the appropriate amount of food. and portion control.
Diet:   feed 2 main times a day (morning and afternoon, the main food is rice bran or synthetic bran depending on the stage), at noon, pigs should eat more vegetables, grass, tubers, fruits … ( if any).
Sow gilts (pregnant): the feed needs adequate nutrition, the diet needs to be full of protein

* Lactating sows: full nutrition to create milk for piglets.
* Piglets separated from the herd: using synthetic feed for piglets (bran pellets …), ensuring nutrition for piglets to grow well
* Should regularly change clean water for pigs to drink to prevent and prevent intestinal diseases for pigs.

II. Breeding:

* Sows to oestrus usually weigh from 30-35kg.
* After separating piglets, the mother pig from 7-10 days later can breed again.
* After breeding sows, want to know that the sows are pregnant, 3 weeks after breeding, sows do not show signs of estrus anymore.

III. Reproduction:

1. Wild boar breeding, giving birth to many children, each year can give birth to 2 litters, each litter of 6-7 children, especially there are litters of 9-10 children and are good at raising children (very good rearing). In the wild, when giving birth, the mother pig takes care of and nurtures her offspring and separates herself from the herd when the pig is big… Hybrid wild boar reproduces naturally all year round. The basic problem is to monitor the breeding performance and determine the appropriate mating time.

2. Pregnancy period is 3 months, 3 weeks, 4 days.

3. When near farrowing, sows often show symptoms such as biting nests, removing grass, litter… It is recommended to keep the sow separate from the herd when the sow is close to giving birth so that the sow can rest better and easily take care of the sow. more special diets. Pigs pregnant with the first litter give birth to 3-5 pigs, starting the second litter: 5-8 pigs. Laying time (from first to last) 2-4 hours. The birthing process takes place naturally, without human help or intervention. Newborn piglets weigh 700g-1200g.

4. Newborn piglets with black hair, with yellow-brown stripes running along the body, without birthing, cutting the umbilical cord, it only takes about 30 minutes to 1 hour for the piglets to be able to stand up to suckle. 15-20 days of running and starting to practice eating grass and trees. Piglets at 1.5-2 months old are strong, can eat food provided by humans, weaned, separated the herd to breed…

5. For piglets to grow and develop well, it is advisable to create conditions for piglets to suckle colostrum as soon as possible, at least 1-2 hours after birth.

6. The mother pig after giving birth often shows aggression when a stranger enters the barn (keep her baby very carefully), the mother pig is very good at raising her baby.

Prevention of Diseases When Breeding Wild Boars

Wild boar and wild boar in general, have high resistance, few diseases, but can still contract some diseases:

Digestive diseases

When the wild boar has some diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (abdominal bloating, flatulence, bloating, diarrhea, food poisoning …), drugs can be used to treat abdominal pain, flatulence, indigestion, and indigestion. bleeding from pigs for drinking or vaccination. Use 5-10kg of wild coconut vegetables for pigs to eat or can add food, bitter drinks such as leaves, green guava, carrots, areca roots, coconut roots … also cured.

To prevent diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, it is necessary to feed pigs with hygienic food that is not moldy, stinky, does not have pesticide residues, and the diet must be diverse, rich, and full of nutrients.

Mechanical trauma

Because wild boar has the ability to regenerate quickly, it heals quickly. If you have a small injury, wash and apply an antiseptic, if you have a big injury, wash and disinfect before and after stitching, injecting synthetic antibiotics such as Ampicylline, Tetracylline, or Penicilline and Streptomycine…

Pneumonia

Wild boar with pneumonia often has a high fever, anorexia, and stops eating. Treatment with synthetic antibiotics.

Constipation

Constipated pigs can be given laxatives or feed laxatives…

Intestinal parasites

Pigs infected with intestinal parasites are often stunted, slow to grow, and have worm larvae in their feces. It is necessary to remove flukes and worms for pigs.

Skin parasites

Ticks, mites, scabies, flies, mosquitoes… rarely stick to the skin to suck blood and transmit diseases in wild boar. And with wild characteristics, the wild boar is not afraid of mosquitoes and insects. In case pigs have skin parasites, topical antiseptics can be used. To prevent skin parasites for wild boar, should periodically clean and disinfect the barn and the surrounding environment.

Best disease prevention measures: Good nursing care, clean eating, hygienic food and nutritional value, clean barns… It is necessary to apply biosecurity measures such as: hygiene breeding, disinfecting barns, isolating livestock areas from surrounding areas… periodically vaccinate against infectious diseases: paratyphoid, cholera, foot-and-mouth disease, E. coli, rabies… according to specific characteristics. Regional epidemiology and veterinary regulations.

Prevention and treatment of common diseases in pigs. Limit the use of highly residual veterinary drugs and only use drugs in cases of absolute necessity.

When the weather changes or the health status of the herd shows signs of illness, it is necessary to add antibiotics to the feed or water of the pigs according to the process of “dosing for 3 days, resting for 7 or 10 days, then using continue for 3 days”, until the pigs return to normal, with a preventive dose of only 1/2- 1/3 of the treatment dose…
