Piggery 101: create a conducive environment for the pigs an environment that you are comfortable being in.

Have a deworming schedule for your pigs, visit your local Vet and get the right dewormer and deworming frequency.

Get in there and do the work!!!

Before you embark on piggery as a business, get trained!!! Piggery is a game of numbers!!

A thread: it seems we have many smallholder farmers here doing piggery and many have requested that I do a thread on pregnant sow an piglet management. I will start with the mating process (serving a sow). Ensure the boar and the sow are of the same size in terms of mass

And ensure you don't force the process, hence the need for proper heat detection. Those who may want literature on heat detection just DM your email. Note down the date of serving the sow (eg 05/03/21), this date will give us the expected due date (birth).

Add 114/115 days as this is the gestation period for pigs. A series of vaccines are given to sow during the course of pregnancy (visit local Vet). 7 days before farrowing, wash your pregnant sow, deworm, spray to prevent mange and place in farrowing crate
