Details of loading and unloading pigs

Loading pigs The unloading of pigs may be the most intense process that pigs experience. Proper operation can make these processes easier, minimize the stress level of pigs and operators, and reduce the risk of injury events.

Equipment requirements: Suitable loading platform, well-enclosed passage leading to the loading platform, pig baffle

Personal safety: The behavior of pigs is unpredictable. Workers with strong work capacity should be selected to transfer pigs.

Preliminary inspection of the process of loading pigs for unloading pigs

Clear obstacles such as water pipes, brooms, etc. in the loading bays and passages.

Make sure that the passage connecting the loading area is clear and there are no right angle bends so that the pig can easily determine the direction of advancement.

The loading platform and the pig vehicle must be matched. For example, the height of the loading platform must match the height of the carriage.

The outdoor slope should not exceed 25o, and the indoor slope should not exceed 33o.

Check the pigs, gates, and passages to make sure the pigs don't run away.

Channels should be solid walls to avoid distracting pigs and make it easier for pigs to walk forward.

Make sure the floor is clean, avoid slipping as much as possible, and if the floor is too slippery, spread some sand.

Check the number of heads that need to be loaded and unloaded to see if there is enough room on the loading area and on the truck to house the pigs.

Fill in all written materials as required.

Make sure all pigs are suitable for transport. Arrange a separate field dedicated to storing injured or dead pigs.

Make sure there are several pigs in each field on the truck.

Light bulbs are installed in the truck compartment to provide uniform brightness in all areas.

When installing pigs on clear and bright weather, the ventilation hood should be closed to avoid bright and dark light in the cabin.

The pigs were transferred by group and each group just filled a field on the pig carrier.

Try to avoid mixing pigs from different groups.

Let the pig move at his own pace and use a baffle to stop the pig from walking back.

Pigs have poor eyesight and use smell during the operation.

They should be allowed to move at their own pace in order to avoid stress.

Make full use of the characteristics that pigs like to follow other pigs. In this way, both operators and pigs can keep calm, avoid collisions or clogging, and collisions and blockages can easily cause injuries.

When the pig is not clear about the road ahead, or when the other pig is standing in front, do not push the pig from behind. Kicking and playing are unacceptable. This may cause pork to be demoted at the slaughterhouse.

After the loading process is completed, the loading platform and the walkway are cleaned and disinfected to ensure bio-safety.

Catch a large group of pigs on the truck will not save time, but will also increase stress levels, affect animal welfare, and reduce meat quality.

The quality assurance certification program prohibits the use of certain operating tools, such as electric sticks. In addition, it is illegal to use electric rods for animals up to 6 months of age.

If the unloading swarm is well-enclosed, it will not let the pig run away, but also provides the pig with a clear forward vision.

Each staff member must clarify the pig's course of travel and implement correct door opening/closing operations.

Minimize the slope.

Let the pig move at his own pace - driving will cause harm.

All personnel must not stay on the pig's route unless it is behind the pig.

Monitor all animals and find injured or sick individuals in time to take care of them.

Keep pigs in the appropriate fields.

Try to avoid mixing pigs from different groups.

Fill in all written materials.

After the unloading process is completed, the unloading platform and aisle are cleaned and disinfected to ensure biological safety.

The yellow mealworm is not only rich in protein, fat, polysaccharid and other organic macromolecular nutrients, but also rich in phosphorus, potassium, iron, sodium, aluminum and other trace elements. For every 100g of the yellow mealworm larvae, the protein content of dry powder is between 48% and 54%, the fat content is between 28% and 41%, and the contents of vitamin E, B1 and B2 are also high. Therefore, the yellow mealworm can provide high quality protein for the earthworm.
