A few weeks ago an ardent reader of Smart Harvest magazine Mr Kihara wrote to inquire about pig rearing. He intends to set up a huge farm of up to 100 pigs and he wanted to know how to go about it.
His dreams aren’t only valid but realistic; you can have a hundred pigs within your farm in just a year. A good sow or gilt can give birth to over 10 piglets. Pigs mature at 8 months and have a gestation period of 114 days. If you’ve ten gilts as your starting point then you can easily achieve your dream within a short period.
