free range pig

[molave]

Sir ano po ba magandang breed ng baboy (sow) pra gawing free range?  tnx's

[doods]

any breed can be raise as freerange pigs...western countries practicing this system,nowadays they abandoned the conventional confinement system...consult your mao first for vaccination program if neccesarily needed...

dark pigmented hogs like the Philippine native could be considered a pasture or field hog,free range.The duroc because of its dark colour also considered a free range or pasture hog in N.America.I would never try any white or light pigmented hog that is now in the RP because the sun and heat would cause severe sun burns (cooked hide).

it can,in mindanao area particularly davao they are practicing pasture hogs...they are sturdier..sun and heat?its not a problem anymore just build a shaded area that will serve as their shelter to protect them from sunlight and rain, and also dug a 2x2meter size area atleast 18 inches in deep for wallow pool whenever they feel the heat..pigs know when they should wallow base on their body needs and temperature..

kahit anu,sanayan lang yan,kung maka survive sila outside.

considering hogs have no sweat glands one would need some sort of system to allow the hog(s) to regulate their body core temperatures,wallow in mud and water.Interesting that the white hogs are able to handle such high tropical temperatures.Must be some sort of hybrid not a purebreed like the large white or landrace.Interesting.

doc,
    good day...doc how about on our area?can we apply the natural farming(free range hogs) method?no vaccines application,injectables etc...we are from rizal....

[nemo]

Can you apply it? the answer is yes.
Pero the problem is rizal have a lot of farms so there is a high risk of disease outbreaks.
If you apply natural farming then be prepared for the worst.

Natural farming kasi is viable in areas na malayo sa mga commercial farms. Kung malapit kasi mas mabilis silang tamaan ng sakit dahil maaaring maging source ng sakit yun farm na malapit sa inyo.

doc,
    thank you,i was about to consider this method in the near future but thankfully you were here to give some advice.....or else i will throw all my investments,such a waste of money and time..
