METHOD OF GROWING PIGS Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A01K67/02 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of agriculture, and is intended for growing pigs on pig farms and pig complexes. Growing pigs is carried out in machine-tool equipment, where feeding, watering and removal of the selected animal manure is performed. Amount of manure is determined taking into account the digestibility by the animal of feed and water. At that the processes of watering are replaced by the processed of feeding with wet or liquid feed mixtures, the amount of water in which is determined by the formula W=Wf+Wfm at Wfm=Wd, where W is the total amount of water; Wf is the amount of water in the dry feed, Wfm is the amount of water in the feed mixture, Bd is a regulatory drinking water for animals. The quantity of animal manure is determined taking into account the digestibility of feed and water by animals, by the formula H=(N-Bk)*(1-Df)+W*(1-Dw), where N is the number of feeds; Df is the coefficient of digestibility of feed by animals, Dw is coefficient of digestibility of water by animals.

EFFECT: substitution of watering processes of pigs by feeding processes due to compensation of the consumed amount of water from the feed enables to eliminate the use of equipment of watering systems for pigs and eliminate loss of water during operation of watering.
