PIG FARMING
Piggery farming has been recognized as one of the profitable
venture among the rural masses.
This venture has proved to be one of the most important
livelihood option. Generally the pigs are reared for pork,
considering the increasing trend of pork consumers
Piggery farming will certainly take a industrial form of livelihood

IMPORTANCE AND ADVANTAGES

1. In Sikkim and North East region, piggery is one of the important source of
income.
2. Waste food, fruits and vegetables, milk and meat by-products and
grains are easily digested by the pigs to convert them into nutritious pork.
3. Pigs usually have a big litter size and the piglets have ability to grow faster,
attains maturity early than any domestic mammal. Besides this, a sow has
ability to farrow more than twice a year with a litter size of 8-12 piglets.
4. Earning is made both from pork and sale of piglets.
5. For this, piggery assures opportunity for economic growth among rural
masses.
6. After 8-9 months of weaning, piglets attain maturity and becomes capable
of giving birth.
7. Under proper care and management pig weighs 80-90 kgs at 6-8 months
of age.
8. Piggery can be done in waste or uncultivable land.
9. Piggery is less labour intensive than other animal farming.
10. Dressing percentage is more in pig than other animals (65-80%) in
comparison to cattle (50-60%) and in sheep and goat (45-50%).
11. It also produces high quality manure.

FEEDING
Generally pig has no definite time for feeding. Piglets are habitual
nibblers and eats in small quantity throughout the day.
However, pigs are fed twice or thrice a day with the following
computed feed:

Age

Quantity of feed
0.5 kg / day
1.0 kg / day
1.25 kgs / day
1.5 kgs / day
2.0 kgs / day
2.5 kgs / day

1-2 months
2-3 months
3-4 months
4-5 months
5-6 months
Boar and Pregnant Gilt

Besides above, kitchen waste, waste vegetable, fruit, Chang

waste and others not fit for human consumption can also be
fed to pigs mixing with computed feed which may curtail 30-40%
of feed cost.

Cook No 2 and 3 and mix with No 1

(1+2+3) together supplements 40% of total feed.
Domestic Product (1+2+3) = 40%
Computed feed
= 40%
Fodder
= 10 %
This way there will be almost 30 - 40% saving in feed cost.

BREEDING CYCLE
If sow/gilt does not conceive after first mating, it usually comes
in heat in another 18-25 days again, the oestrus(heat period) in a
sow persists for 40-60 hrs.
SYMPTOMS OF HEAT:
Excitement.
Swollen and reddening of vulva.
Mounting on other pigs.
Restlessness and low intake of feed.
White discharge from the genetalia.
TIME OF INSEMINATION/ MATING:
A gilt or sow should be inseminated or mated with boar within
13-20 hrs of manifestation of the symptoms of heat.
Segregate the gilt or sow from boar immediately after mating.

CARE AND MANAGEMENT OF

PREGNANT SOW
Gestation period of a sow ranges between 114 to 117 days.
After mating if the sow does not come to heat in 21- 42 days,
it confirms conception.
Pregnant sow should be segregated from others.
Sow should be fed with quality green fodder along with
balanced diet.
Feed should be decreased before 8-10 days of farrowing to
reduce abdominal pressure on foetus.

10

PREPARATION FOR
FARROWING PROCESS
Segregate sow a week before farrowing.
Sow should be provided with bedding of straw, hay and husk.
Provision of light, carton and boxes to keep newly born piglets.
Scalpel, blade, scissors, potash, iodine, suture (thread), gunny
bags, towel, cotton, emergency medicines etc.
Make environment conducive and peaceful during farrowing.
FARROWING SYMPTOMS:
Sow looks anxious and restless before 10-15 hrs of farrowing.
Nesting around by dozing on the bedding material with snout.
Vulvular swelling and enlargement. Sometimes dripping of milk
from teats.

ARTICLES REQUIRED DURING FARROWING:

Clean warm water, scalpel and blade. scissors, suture, towel,
gunny bag, tincture iodine, douch can etc.

11

CARE AND MANAGEMENT

AFTER FARROWING
Farrowing completes within 2 to 6 hrs.
Segregate new born piglets immediately after farrowing.
After 2-3 hrs of farrowing, sow should be provided with 4-5 kilos
of semi-liquid feed.
Keep away the piglets from the mother after birth and feed them
with mothers milk only when it is required to avoid constant
irritation the sow.
Remove the placenta completely from sow.
Uterine flushing with antibiotic solution in sow should be done
for 2-3 days.
After flushing the uterus, administer U -bolus or any other
suitable antibiotic intrauterine bolus.

12

1. After farrowing is completed the removal of the placenta

should be done properly and completely.

2. For 2-3 days flush the uterus with antiseptic solution

and administer intrauterine U-bolus
or any other suitable antibiotic bolus.

Clean water

Bedding

Semi-liquid
laxative diet

Additional feed

Sow should be fed with plenty of semi-liquid feed

and ajjwain etc.

13

CARE AND MANAGEMENT

OF NEW BORN PIGLET

1. Cut the navel cord leaving 2-3 cms

away from the ligature.

3. Iron syrup like Sharkoferol

should be painted on the udder
and teats of the mother before
the piglets are fed.

2. Clean the mouth and nostrils

of the piglets for easy breathing.

4. Piglet must be fed first mothers milk or colostrum of the

sow till 72 hrs after birth.

Special care and attention to be

given to piglets at least for 2 weeks.

14

After 3 days of farrowing the

wolf teeth of the piglets should be
filed and made blunt, to avoid
injury to mothers teats.

CARE AND MANAGEMENT

OF GILTS
Care and Management is one of the important part of piggery
farming.
Gilts can attain maturity at the age of 6 months under good care
and management.
Gilt should be mated at the age of 8 months only.
Gilt should be segregated from Boar at the age of 6 months.
Early mating or mating before maturity reduces the reproductive
capacity of gilts.
After weaning the piglets, a sow comes in heat within 3-10 days.
The sow which has already given birth once should be fed with
3-4 kg of feed one week before it is mated and 3-4 kg after it is
conceived.
This way proper feeding will increase the potential of a sow
give maximum litter size.

15

IMPORTANT POINTS TO BE REMEMBERED

IN PIGGERY FARMING
1. A farmer should observe any symptoms to detect illness in pigs.
2. Sick animals should be segregated from the herd and kept in
separate room for nursing care and treatment.
3. Wash the pig shed, utensils and floor with bactericidal agent
routinely.
4. Stunted piglets should be protected from piglet anemia and fed
with iron paste or injected with Iron like Imferon.
5. Pigs should be vaccinated with swine fever and F.M.D. Vaccines.
6. Do not allow people to come near to pig farm who are exposed
to F.M.D. Site.
7. Do not allow any outsider within the farm premises.
8. Do not allow dogs and birds to enter inside the shed.
9. Healthy pigs also need to be inspected twice a day.
