DAILY ROUTINE PRACTICES IN PIGGERY

1. Every morning check for the activeness of the pigs to be sure they are doing fine?  Most pigs make active noise in the morning as a sign of activeness.
2. Make sure the water nipples are working and there is abundant water on the farm. Pigs require a lot of drinkable water to aid their digestion so you must make sure it’s well supplied.
