Why every Pig farmer needs SHARIVIT

 Let's talk about why you need sharivit for a successful pig farming.

Why do you need Sharivit to succeed in Pig farming?

Among other components of #sharivit, we'll talk about just 3 & their effects on the pigs performance;

1. Biotin 

(a B vitamin) which is important in the prevention of #lameness , #softhooves with #darkcracks , #hairloss , #scalyanddryskin , #poorgrowth , etc. The disease caused by #biotin deficient  diet affects pigs of all ages (young and old)

2. Choline 

Choline, as a water-soluble nutrient, is a dietary component essential for the normal function of all cells and participates in vital biological progress during fetal development. #choline deficiency during pregnancy also affects the nutrient composition of sow milk up to 19 days after birth. If milk composition is altered as a result of #choline deficiency during pregnancy, this could have implications on the quality of nutrition the offspring(piglets) receives.

3. Folic acid 

(also a B vitamin)

Folic acid supplementation during gestation may improve milk production, milk quality and piglet performance. A deficiency of #folicacid can lead to #anaemia and #diarrhoea and can reduce #weightgain and #littersize of piglets.

Sharivit contains other nutrients but we just want to talk about the first 3 components.

These will likely consume less feed per unit live weight gain. Thus less costly to keep.⁣ • Select gilts which have developed hams and comparatively light heads.⁣ • The selected gilts should have good body confirmation i.e. strong legs, sound feet etc.⁣ • Gilt should not be select for breeding purpose if having supernumerary and inverted teats, and fat deposited at the base of the teats⁣ • Gilt must be at least 8 months old at first service.⁣ Age to...

In this article, we'll list four ( 4) most important pig breeds every farmer needs for Commercial Purpose; 1. Landrace pig breed ; This breed originated from Denmark. It is a white pig, with a long body and floppy ears. It is endowed with good prolificacy, but also with good growth abilities. It is used mainly in crosses, especially with large white pigs. It is currently the second-largest breed in France in number. The Landrace pig is a very versatile breed, performing well under either indoor or outdoor systems of management. The sows have the ability to produce and nurse large litters of piglets with very good daily gain and high lean meat content, in a superbly fleshed carcase, which is ideal for either fresh pork or bacon production. Landrace pig breed ...
