Re: Pigs rooting
It's weird I have had my pigs for 4 years now and I have had pigs during all their life stages and they have not dug up my field once and they keep it in really good condition even through the winter and heavy rain

Re: Ai for kunekune sows
Yes I will be optimistic because it is really puzzling me how that 2 young animals that have both had littles before can't have one together and this time they were mating for longer than they have had before and it's the first time I have seen him release his liquid from Tom

Ai for kunekune sows
Hi everyone I have had a boar with a sow since the 7th of April and she is not pregnant as she was mated again yesterday. Yesterday I noticed that the boar had released his fluids when he was mating so if she does not fall pregnant then I know he is infertile. If he is infertile I was wondering if a...

Re: Please Help...!
I have studied my pig books and the only things they showed me that it could have been was e-coli, pmws or pdns but other than that I can't think of anything that can kill a pig with the same symptoms from Tom

Re: Please Help...!
I am sorry for your loss and hope this has not put you off pigs to much and I agree with the others that it is very unusually case and it might sound weird but I would like to know what happened but sometimes pigs just give up the go for no reason at all. My pigs are starting to get on now so I am s...

Re: Hello all, a few questions!
I always feed my sow 3 lbs of nuts and then 0.5 lbs of nuts for each piglet but you need to build up the food over 3 weeks and also give her fruit and veg for the first few days as this helps the teats dry up that aren't being used and prevents mastitis in them from Tom

Re: Selling Weaners Singly

I think people these days need to breed pigs responsibly because the more we breed our pigs the more and more the gene pool is being restricted and in my opinion we nee...

Re: Hobbling Pig
Pigs can quite easily get sprains or pull muscles in their legs and this could be the problem or in this bad weather the pg could have slipped and just pulled a muscle or sprained it from Tom
