Feed yeast for pigs: types of how to give at home

A pig develops normally if it eats properly and in a balanced way. The diet of the animal should be mixed - natural food is combined with various food additives. They contain a high concentration of minerals, vitamins, nutrients. Feed yeast for domestic pigs acts as a source of protein, fats, proteins, dietary fiber and fiber. The tool is used to accelerate the growth of pigs, improve their he alth.

What is feed yeast

Fodder yeast is a separate type of mushroom. Each manufacturer uses its own technology for their cultivation, but the usual technical type of yeast is mainly used.

For mushrooms, a nutrient medium is prepared, which contributes to their rapid reproduction and enrichment with minerals and vitamins. Mushrooms reproduce well in an environment with a high content of the following substances:

lactose;
glucose;
acetic acid;
mannose.

All components are found in the remains of fruit and vegetable products. After the reproduction of mushrooms, they must be collected, dried and ground into dust. The additive is combined with feed, given to pigs.

Pros and cons of application

Feed yeasting has a number of advantages:

The body of a piglet or an adult pig is enriched with minerals, vitamins, which strengthen the skeletal structure, accelerate development, and increase weight gain.
Regular consumption of cultured feed cures boars from sexual dysfunctions and sows from hormonal imbalance. This leads to an increase in farrowing, facilitating the process of childbirth.
Feeding pigs with yeast feed is necessary to obtain viable offspring, increase farrowing. Lactating sows are able to provide their young with enough milk, which reduces the cost of milk substitute.

The negative side of cultivating a yeast supplement is the complexity of its manufacture, the need for a clear selection of dosage. To produce yeast, it is necessary to allocate a separate laboratory with a temperature of +21… 25 ^{o With good ventilation system.}

It is important to prevent the spread of fungi throughout the room, this requires regular cleaning and repairs. All these manipulations require additional financial costs.

You will also need labor or special mechanisms to mix yeast mixtures.

Varieties

There are several varieties of feed additives. They can be:

Classic fodder - obtained from the remains of alcohol products.
Hydrolytic - made from food and wood waste.
Special concentrates - rich in protein and vitamins. Separate derivatives of petroleum products and ethanol are used as raw materials.

In the production process, they resort to the use of acetic acid and monosaccharides extracted from vegetable / fruit products. Yeast cultivation is considered a complex technical process, but it costs less money than the production of animal feed.

Feeding norms

The dosage for each animal is different, it depends on the subspecies and the he alth of the animal. Proper dosing is essential to meet the individual needs of the pig. The rate is determined separately:

Bacon fattening pigs need to consume no more than 5.5% of the weight of the product fed. This supplement is a quality alternative to skim milk.
Small pigs fed on ethyl alcohol waste need 11% of their total food intake.
Active boars-producers need to consume 350-650 g of fodder yeast daily. They are necessary to enhance sexual activity, strengthen their reproductive function.
Sows should be provided with a sufficient amount of mineral-protein supplement at the time of pregnancy. It is added to compound feed, given to the sow every day. The dose is determined from 11 to 20% yeast per daily feed rate. The product supports the body of the pig, increases the number of embryos at the stage of cell division, improves the he alth of newborn piglets.
Lactating sows should consume 2.5-11.5% of total feed dosage.

Yeast supplement is allowed to be introduced into complementary foods for small pigs. It is added gradually so as not to provoke eating disorders and allergic reactions. Animals are given 100-150 g of the supplement daily, then the dosage is increased every 3 days.

How to give yeast to pigs

There is an instruction according to which feed is mixed with yeast. This can be done in several ways:

In the form of a dough. To do this, take boiled water (1 bucket), yeast (100-250 g), food (3-4 kg). After stirring, the homogeneous mass is infused for 5 hours in heat, periodically stirred. After 5 hours, the mass is mixed with food (10-15 kg), warm water (20-30 l).
Kneading. To do this, mix the entire amount of feed, water and yeast. The liquid is mixed with an additional amount of water (30-35 l), infused for 10 hours.
In the form of sourdough. The food is poured with water, stirred with yeast, infused for 8 hours and stirred periodically.

Feed yeasting carried out at home helps to improve the metabolic processes in pigs, strengthen their immunity, and increase body weight. The supplement saturates the body of animals with proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Yeast feed accelerates the growth and development of pigs, which leads to lower financial costs for their maintenance.
