Management
Modern and well-established scientific principles, practices and skills should be
used to obtain maximum economic benefits from pig farming.
Selection of breeds
- For commercial pig farming upgraded / crossbred or exotic stock in good health should
be selected.
- While selecting a gilt or sow primary aim should be to secure a female that will
produce large survivable litter and which can attain marketable weight at an age
of six months or less.
- Animals those are ready to be bred should be selected.
- Identify the newly purchased animal by giving suitable identification mark (ear
notching or tattooing).
- Vaccinate the animals against diseases.
- Keep the animal under observations for a period of about two weeks and then mix
with the other animals.
- Purchase animals in two batches at the interval of three months.
- Follow judicious culling and replacement of animals in a herd.
- Cull the old animals after 10-12 farrowings.
