Many people will not care about their pig welfare because the spent less on them, spending more on your pigs is business and that's what makes you a commercial pig farmer.
Are you profiting from pig farming or pig farming is profiting from you and you feel like quiting?
No? Just follow this simple techniques:
1. Make sure you don't feed your piglets with feed high in fiber from day 5 to week 10 (weight align must be at least 28kg) fiber included must not exceed 4%, that will make your feed a standard of creep feed.
2. To minimize or cut cost in a time like this, feed your growers with feed that is formulated with byproduct other than the main ingredient, (do not use byproduct to raise your piglet, they will grow stunted).
3. Classify your pigs into different units; breeding stock and the slaughter stuck, do not keep pigs meant for slaughter more than 24 weeks in your farm, experiment this and confirm my words, once pigs exceed 24 week (6 months) they begin to feed on your profit. Slaughter pigs should be raised like broiler chicken, grow it to reach at least 80kg-120kg in 6 months and cash out.
4. Do not serve an underweight pig even if it's two years old, you might encounter problem at gestation and farrowing time, it will also perform poor with small litter size and low weight piglet, that is the begining of error in pig farming.
5. I will stop here, kindly follow my page to learn more and you can contact me if you need my help, okay, tips 5; avoid inbreeding (that is crossing pigs of first degree relative).
This is the reason you shouldn't just buy pig from any farm, honestly, the kind of pig you acquire from a particular farm will contribute immensely to your growth and fall in piggery.
