Efficiency of raising commercial hybrid pig Landrace × Mong Cai using probitotics in intensive farming system in Cao Bang province
The objective of this reserach is to evaluate the efficiency of supplementing probiotics into the ration of commercial Landrace x Mong Cai crossbred pigs in a intensive farming system in Cao Bang province. The experiment was carried out at Duc-Chinh Farm of Lam Anh Agricultural Cooperative in Hong-Quang 2 Hamlet, Hung-Dao Commune, Cao Bang City, Cao Bang Province from May 2024 to January 2025. A total of 84 commercial pigs (47 females and 37 castrated males) were divided into 2 groups corresponding to the experimental group (Supplementing 0.5% of Probiotics to concentrate) and the control group (No supplementation of Probiotics). Pigs were observed for Body weight; Daily weight gain; Feed consumption; Diarrhea syndrome; Relative economic efficiency. Data were analyzed using the GLM procedure in SAS9.4, using the Tukey comparison method with the a=0.05 level for comparisons. The results showed that the body weight of pigs increased by 16.16% in experimental group compared to control; daily body weight gain improved by 16.14%. Feed consumption for weight gain improved by an average of 11.47% in all stages. In addition, when supplementing Probiotics, the incidence of diarrhea syndrome was reduced by 16.18%; economic efficiency increased by 45.53%. It is concluded that when supplementing probiotics into the ration of commercial crossbred pigs Landrace x Mong Cai, diarrhea syndrome was significantly reduced; weight gain and body weight were improved and feed costs were saved during the experimental period; good productive efficiency in the commercial crossbred pigs Landrace x Mong Cai according to the intensive farming system in Cao Bang province.
