Teaching material, often referred to as a milk substitute or artificial milk, is a specially formulated feed designed to replace whole milk. Its primary ingredients come from dairy by-products, and it is nutritionally balanced to provide at least 20% protein and 6% fat. This type of feed plays a crucial role in the early development of piglets, especially during the weaning process.
The main goal of teaching material is to help suckling pigs gradually transition from milk to plant-based feed. High-quality teaching material supports the development of the gastrointestinal system and digestive enzymes, which are essential for future growth. It's not just about teaching them to eat—it's about maximizing their daily weight gain and ensuring a smooth adaptation to solid food.
What makes a good teaching material? Several factors should be considered:
1. Easy to Digest and Nutrient-Rich The feed should have low levels of anti-nutritional factors and allergens to support digestion. A highly digestible feed helps improve feed intake and nutrient absorption. This is especially important for young pigs, as their early growth has a significant impact on their overall performance in later stages.
2. Good Palatability Suckling pigs are more likely to consume feed that tastes good. A palatable feed encourages higher intake, leading to better daily weight gain and overall health.
3. Balanced and Comprehensive Nutrition Different raw materials offer varying nutritional values and digestibility levels. Therefore, the formulation must be carefully balanced to ensure all essential nutrients—proteins, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids—are present in the right proportions.
4. Low Incidence of Health Issues One of the most common problems with poor-quality teaching material is diarrhea. Undigested feed entering the large intestine can promote bacterial overgrowth, causing digestive upset. In such cases, not only does the pig lose weight, but it also loses vital nutrients like proteins, electrolytes, and vitamins through loose stools.
5. Minimizing Weaning Stress Weaning stress can lead to reduced feed intake, weight loss, and stunted growth. A well-formulated teaching material helps reduce this stress, allowing piglets to adjust smoothly and regain their normal growth rate quickly.
Choosing the right teaching material is essential for the health and productivity of piglets. It’s an investment in their long-term performance and farm profitability. (Source: China Feed Industry Information Network – Based on feed, serving animal husbandry)
