PIG-STIES AND FOOD
Pigs are kept in sties or piggeries. Sties are like small huts usually built of concrete or bricks. They must be as warm and dry as possible, as pigs suffer if exposed to cold and damp. In front there is a small, walled-in space, the run, where the pig feeds and takes exercise.
Sties are found only where a few pigs are kept on the farm. Where large numbers of pigs are kept the sows may live outside in the fields in simple wooden huts called pig arks, or they may be kept for most of their lives in specially air-conditioned breeding houses.
On these large farms young piglets when they leave their mothers- at 6 to 8 weeks of age - are usually kept indoors for fattening to produce pork pigs in about 8 weeks, bacon pig in about 16 weeks, or meat pigs in 16-20 weeks after weaning.
Although pigs can eat all kinds of things, and the first domisticated pigs looked after themselves in the woods by feeding on acorns and beech-mast (beech nuts), pigs do best if they are fed on special mixtures of cereals (barley, wheat, and corn) with some protein food such as fish meal or soybean meal. These are now very care-fully worked out so that the pig gets the right proportion of protein and minerals.
In Western countries pigs are cheaper to produce than lamb or beef because it is easy to mechanize many of the tasks involved in raising them. Factory-farming methods are widely used and the farmer is able to save money by employing fewer people.
