The pig farmer’s profit (money) is determined by the number of piglets sold per sow on the farm over the course of a year.
Profit is thus determined by the farmer’s capacity to run the farm in such a way that the sow produces the greatest number of piglets that can be marketed in the shortest amount of time. Good management entails providing adequate housing to enable the efficient generation of marketable pigs.
Disease control will be easier with clean conditions and preventative steps on the farm.
The utilization of good, highly productive breeding animals that grow quickly, utilize their feed efficiently, generate low-fat carcasses, and produce 20 or more piglets each year will play a huge role in growing your pig farm.
The farmer must understand the feed requirements of the various age groups and feed the appropriate amount of the appropriate mixture to each group.
