Advantages of pig rearing
* Pigs convert inedible feeds, forages, certain grain byproducts obtained from mills, meat by products, damaged feeds and garbage into valuable nutritious meat. Most of these feeds are either not edible or not very palatable to human beings
* Pig grows fast and is a prolific breeder, farrowing 10 to 12 piglets at a time. It is capable of producing two litters per year under optimal management conditions
* The carcass return is quite high ie. 60-80 percent of live body weight
* With a small investment on building and equipment, proper feeding and sound disease control programme the farmer can profitably utilize his time and labour in this subsidiary occupation
* The faeces of pigs is used as a manure to maintain soil fertility
The indigenous pig has been the basis used for pig production for a long period of time. It is small in size. Improved breeds are now being used for grading up the form the basis for pig production in the rural areas.
The imported pig breeds reared in India are as follows :
Large white Yorkshire
* Most extensively used exotic breed in India
* Body colour is solid white with occasional black – pigmented spots
* Erect ears, snout of medium lengths and dished face
* Excellent breed for the purpose of cross breeding
* Prolific breeds
* Mature boar 300-400 k.g
* Mature sow 230-320 kg
Landrace
* White with black skin spot
* Long body, large drooping ears and long snout
* Prolific breeding and efficient in utilizing feed
* Carcass quality equal to Yorkshire
* Excellent breed for crossbreeding
* Mature boars weigh 270-360 kg
* Mature sow weighs 200-320 kg
Middle white Yorkshire
* Used in some areas in India
* Grows rapidly gives good dressing percentage
* Not so prolific as large white Yorkshire
* Males 250-340 kg
* Females 180-270 kg
Breeds for North East India

Pig farming looks liek a good business. What is the minimum capital investment needed? And where can one find best disease prevention methods documents?
Also where can one find HOW TO? on building the pens for the pigs.
Some farms divert the pigs manure to make methane gas used to power the field itself. The dried manure or soil is used as fertiliser. But we need to have that kind of information online or with you.
Would you please email me these things. Im seriously thinking of Pig farming. It would make people move away from Mutton and Beef since the meat is healthier and more nutritious.
Please send me these info.
