HOUSING / Mr Hog your idea about total enclosure

« on: September 21, 2007, 02:56:16 AM »

Mr Hog,this idea of yours about enclosing your barn will not work out,tried it back in 2005,the hogs will overheat and die,if you can afford airconditioning it will work along with proper ventilation,air must  circulate so many times per minute so much volume per hour.The idea you have about a large chimney,sounds good,thought about this myself,was thinking about buying 45 gal. drums,welding them together,the first drum would have charcoal and as the exhaust air was forced through should help mask the ordors,just something I was playing with some time ago.Remember animal manure helps pollute and create green house gases,we should all do our part and help the enviroment,
Good Farming To You Mr Hog                       mikey

SWINE / can I make my own pig crumble

« on: August 13, 2007, 07:38:22 AM »

I think one should be able to make their pig crumble,lets be honest,a pig will eat anything,in North America lots of people feed their hogs food other than pig crumble,starting to plant food for our goats,soyabeans(seeds from Canada)whole wheat,barley,Philippine corn,mongobeans,is this not the basics for pig crumble(maybe not mongobeans)okay fishmeal,bloodmeal and bonemeal might be hard to find,salt,brown sugar and seaweed are all available,Someone in the Philippines must have the answer,the cost to raise and feed 50 piglets over $7000.00(CDN.) or P300000.00 and not much profit for all the work,at this rate even OFW cannot afford to help their families with pig operations,our breeding sows and boars get wet fed with corn,swamp cabbage,vegetables,fruits,brown sugar,seaweed and thay are all healthy and breed well,some of our sows have 18 per litter,its the weaned piglets that get the crumble or they get sick and die,there must be a answer to this problem.Thank-You   mikey
