commercial raiser or vice versa.
Pig farming is a capital- and labor-intensive business. A solid combination of business
management and pig husbandry knowledge and skills is required for success. Even
keeping a few pigs necessitates husbandry skills and adherence to legal
requirements. There are several important factors to consider before establishing a
piggery. The vast majority are sold at baconer weight for use in cured products or as
fresh pork. Pigs are typically sold on consignment to a processing facility, but they can
also be sold privately, at auction, or live over the scales. Buyers may enter into regular
pig supply contracts with producers. Most specialist producers keep a breeding herd
and raise their offspring to baconer weight. Because the cost of maintaining the
breeding herd is spread across the large amount of meat produced, this is usually the
most profitable weight. The pigs may be kept at various locations, for example, grower
pigs may be kept at a separate location and cared for by an employee or a contract
grower.
