This session will focus on how to implement a free-range system for pig farming, allowing pigs to roam freely on grassy pastures within a 30-hectare expanse. This method contrasts with traditional cage systems, promoting animal welfare and reducing environmental impact. The pigs are rotated every two to three days to new grazing areas, ensuring a clean environment and utilizing their manure as natural fertilizer. This approach minimizes the need for water-intensive cleaning processes and enhances the overall health of the livestock.
