- Buying pigs for a tribe, do not make a purchase from one breeder, and even more so those pigs that appeared in one litter.
- When buying pigs, ask the breeder how many sows he has. If he has all one boar, then most likely, the descendants will be relatives. And from such offspring, as you know, getting healthy, full-fledged, offspring is almost impossible.
- Ask about the age and weight of the pig, about the approximate weight with which the pig was born. You can also ask the breeder to tell the dynamics of growth of pigs, with intervals of 10 days.
- You can verify the truthfulness of the information provided by the seller by seeing the sow. If the piglets are one month old, then the sows should have milky lobes. She must be thinner.
If the sow in front of you looks fattened, then most likely the piglet is more than a month old, or it is not the sow that gave birth to the piglets offered to you.
- Carefully look at the appearance of the animal. If the piglet is healthy, then its muscles are well developed, and its legs are firm and wide apart. A clear sign of belonging to the breed of Vietnamese vislobrew is the stigma with numerous bends on the nasal bone.
In a healthy individual, the constitution is dense, knit, the eyes are shiny, even coat. A good appetite is also a sign of individual health. It should be noted that the color of piglets from one litter can be different, from white to black.
- You should not buy a pig if its body has a spindle-like shape, a long head, and legs are put in the form of the letter "X". This appearance suggests that this individual is sick, or else there is a process of degeneration that occurred as a result of the crossing of the parents of relatives.

Are the high performance figures of Vietnamese bastards?
Nowadays, breeding Vietnamese visually bruised pigs is very promising. These pigs do not require special care, expensive feed, not whimsical. If you initially choose the right pig, then further care and maintenance will not cause any particular hassle.
If you buy a healthy piglet, then already after 9-10 months, with proper care, a 100-110 kg pig will grow out of it. After this period, the increase in mass will not increase significantly. During this period, only about 300 kilograms of grain will be fed.

We get the maximum profit with proper care
The maintenance of Vietnamese vislobrew pigs brings the minimum of trouble to the maximum pleasure (compared with most classical breeds). If initially in good faith to take care of a good pigsty, then the amount of care will be minimized.
The compact size of the animal can save on the area of the pigsty. It is advisable to make it out of brick, to concrete the floor.
It is important that the part of the floor that plays the role of "bedroom" (this is about 2/3 of the part) was covered with wooden scaffolding. This element of the pigsty will be especially relevant in cold weather.
The rest of the space will be a toilet and a place for feeding.
Vietnamese visrubry pig very clean animal. She will never allow herself to scatter manure throughout the countryside.
Pigs of this breed do not dig the sexes, which greatly simplifies the life of the owner. One pen around 5m2 can place two adult pigs or one boar, or one sow with piglets.
Making up the layout of the internal structure of pens, it is necessary to leave gaps between them. They are needed in order to be able to safely pass rigging, collecting feces.
It is worth taking care of good ventilation of the pigsty, without it pigs can often get sick. You should also build a small shed on the walking area. It will protect from the scorching sun and rain.
A mandatory condition for the maintenance of this breed of pigs is walking. Fresh air, especially in the warm season, increases immunity and mood.
It is also advisable to bury a few logs on the walking area, about which the pig can be scratched, and dig a small "pool" of dirt. With regular walking, pigs will gain weight and be less sore.
Properly formulated diet - the key to the growth of a healthy animal
If the diet is properly formulated and correctly adhered to, then this clearly promises good animal health, good weight gain, as well as high-quality, lean meat. In this breed of pigs, the esophagus has a special structure.
Food moves along the digestive tract very quickly, because the ventricle is small and the diameter of the intestine is small. Therefore, coarse grinding feed undesirable.
Standard treats for Vietnamese vislobrews are hay grasses of the legume family (clover, alfalfa). But those feeds that are standard for ordinary pigs (fodder beets, straw) will not be of any use for the Vietnamese vislobryuhim. It is advisable to regularly steam thick porridges with mixed feed or ground grain.
Compound feed should be selected with a base of wheat and barley. You can add peas, oats, corn. Corn, by the way, should not be abused.
The fact is that this cereal contributes to obesity, and also makes the meat tough. Vitamin supplements also have a positive effect on pig health. Sow in the food, you can add milk, eggs, carrots, pumpkin. Piglets - fish oil. If you prefer to give boiled vegetables, then you should cook them immediately before feeding.
How does the farrowing in Vietnamese breech pigs go?
Due to the fact that puberty at the breed is Vietnamese vislobryushie, comes very early, the knitting process can be allowed early. Do not be afraid that early pregnancy will somehow negatively affect the health of the offspring or the development of the pig.
The main and most important condition for the appearance of healthy offspring is the lack of kinship in sows and boars. Otherwise, the appearance of sick, weak and deformed pigs is possible.
It is possible to learn that a pig exhibits hunting by the following signs: it can refuse to eat, it becomes restless, discharge appears, the genital loop swells up.
Finally, to convince you that you are not mistaken, you can lean your hands on the croup, if it freezes and does not leave the place, then it is already possible. If it leaves, the hunt has not yet come.
Pregnancy can last for three months, three weeks and three days (114-118 days).
A few days before farrowing, the pig will begin to crush the straw, to set up a nest.
A day before the appearance of piglets, colostrum appears in the nipples. The corral should be well removed, the maximum lay with hay or straw. If the room is very cold - provide additional heating.
It is desirable to be present at the very process of the survey. After the appearance of the piglet, clear the respiratory tract from mucus and put it in the hay for drying.
Important! In the first hour of life, the pig must necessarily get the necessary part of the colostrum. It contains all the most valuable nutritional elements necessary for further full growth.
Initially, pigs eat only mother's milk, so they quickly gain weight. On the 10th day of life, a healthy pig weighs, on average, 1 kilogram, and on the 20th day - 1.5-2 kilograms, per month - 2.5-3 kilograms.
On the tenth day, we must begin give the piglets clean water. In the second week of life, you can gradually give charcoal, chalk, substances filled with calcium and phosphorus.
In addition, you can lure thick porridge. For a month, the pigs must learn to completely chew food, because it is a month later that the amount of milk from the mother will begin to decline. It should be gradually excommunicated from the mother.
At the first farrowing, the sow is likely to produce about five piglets, and over time this figure can reach 20 individuals. Pigs in sows are very clean, however, like the mother. They defecate constantly in one place, do not gnaw floors, do not dig turf.
Their character is calm and docile. It is necessary to vaccinate small children on the 1-2th day (vitamins and iron). These vaccinations will prevent anemia. Since the animals described are distinguished by enviable health, in the future, vaccinations will not be necessary.
