Technical and Technological Principles of Functioning of Small Family Farm Pigs

Until about ten years ago on intensive pig rearing in our country were large farms with an average of 1500 sows and 50 boars in the main herd. Today it changed. We take over experience in Western European countries where there are mini farm for breeding pigs within the family farm. In Western European countries are already specialized farms where there is a reproductive - herd identification, education suckling piglets, breeding pigs up to 25 kg and fattening pigs. In our country, we are forced to have next to the mini farm and within his own household a number of sows that we are used to getting pigs for further fattening. Of course it is not economically justified, because economically sustainable animal production involves highly specialized and professional production. In this paper, we describe the operation of a family farm pigs closed that provides its own broiler material od12 -13 sows, which are the objects feedlots being fattened with feed with their own land. We have described this case in order to draw attention to all the elements necessary in raising pigs, including the intensification and complicated conditions of production itself, so these should take more care.
