During the growth of the pumpkin leaves, nitrates and nitrites are continuously absorbed from the soil. Especially when the weather is long and clear and suddenly rains, the pumpkin vine leaves absorb more from the soil. If the pumpkin leaves are cut and fed to the pig at this time, the nitrite contained in the pumpkin can easily bind to the hemoglobin in the blood of the animal and prevent oxygen from entering the body, resulting in poisoning of the pig.
Pumpkin leaves to feed the pigs, the prevention of poisoning is very simple, as long as the freshly cut pumpkin leaves washed, chopped, cooked with a large fire once cooked, add 1.5 ~ 2g of sodium bicarbonate per kg of feed (food base), mixed After mixing, the pigs will not be poisoned.
