The year is already over and, as is the custom in some countries, pork consumption rises and many pork producers stand out in the breeding and satisfy the needs. As a producer of animal protein these last months of the year I dedicate a little more to this work, forcing me to keep them up to date.

However, it is a very complex task, since it requires certain veterinary and nutritional care, to ensure optimum development in breeding ... this morning when I arrived at the cubicle where I have the breeders, I noticed that the female was in heat; so I proceeded to change it cubicle and place it with the male. In such a way that the male was sleeping, but it was not an impediment to continue with the work.

So I was busy working on the adaptation of another cubicle, so I started to move the floor and the remains were placed in another area.

Once the first part of the conditioning of the new cubicle is finished, it is this way

We observe that the male gets up with a lot of energy... (HAHAHAHAHA!)

Later, I had to find search food that helps in raising pigs to lower production costs and that is to offer the public a little more economic pork ... this food supplement is vegetables and fruits that discard stores but that they are still in conditions for animal.

To finish the work of the day, use a technique to determine the approximate weight of the pig, which we will obtain only with a cabuya and a meter (with tape measure is better).

We measure from the neck of the pig to where the tail is to get the LONG

Therefore we measure behind the paddles, hugging the pig to get the WIDTH

We apply the following formula:

  • WIDTH x WIDTH = Total width
  • Total width x LONG = #
  • # x 69.3 = APPROXIMATE ANIMAL WEIGHT

NOTE: 69.3 is a constant
