Raise Organic Hog

ORGANIC AGRICULTURE PRODUCTION NC II
RAISE ORGANIC HOG
Organic farming is a natural way on how to raise pigs. The idea is to rear healthy and
leaner livestock. Consumers are assured that no synthetic feeds and antibiotics are
induced, which can cause malady both to the pigs and the consumers.
Major Considerations in Organic Hog Raising
Traits/Types of Various Breeders
 Meat type  Meat & Piglet production, etc.
 Piglet production
Characteristics of Healthy Piglet for Organic Hog Raising

 No deformities  Good feeding habits
 Alert, active, agile  Resistant to pests & diseases
 Good body balance
Common Traits of a Hog for Organic Raising

 The same body size from front to  Skin & hair are shiny/downy &
rear straight
 Good legs and feet  Plump loin and hump, etc
Housing Requirements for Growing Organic Hog
 Good beddings  Complete watering & feeding troughs

 Shaded (protection from extreme  Good ventilation/air circulation
weather conditions)  Good drainage system, etc.
Basic Materials for Hog House Bedding
 Rice hull  Salt

 Carbonized Rice Hull  EMAS
 Sawdust  Molasses
 Soil
Preventive Measures to Protect Stock from Diseases

 Use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
 Use OHN as deodorizer and sanitizer.
 Proper feeding/nutrition.
 Raise Piglet to Market Age (120 days old after weaning for slaughtering).
3 Elements that Make Hog Organic
 All it eats are organic  Hogs are treated as human, etc
.  Raised in a natural way.
Feeding Guidelines
 Supplement the sow with good ration if the milk supply is inadequate to feed her
piglets.
 When the pigs are about 1 week of age, start feeding them with a good pre-starter
ration.
 Different rations are given at different stages of growth but a shift in ration should
be done gradually so as not to upset the pigs’ normal feeding behavior. Always allow
transition period of at least 1 week before making changes.
 A starter ration is next given to pigs when they are 30 to 35 kgs. or two months old
until they are about 15-20 weeks old.
 Finisher ration is given when pigs reach 60 kgs or are about 20 weeks old.
 When formulating a simplified ration, always remember that it should always
contain sufficient PROTEIN, ADEQUATE AMOUNTS OF VITAMINS AND
MINERALS.
 Discard from slaughterhouses as well as cassava, sweet potato, corn and corn by-
products which are abundant in some areas of the Philippines may be used, provided
they are properly cooked and dried.
 In commercial operations due to economy in labor and in feeding equipment, dry
feeding is practiced.
 Clean drinking water must be provided at all times.

*Organic Feeds
Note: Add grass and plant leaves with the feeds to cut cost and to make the meat
tastier. Add concoction to the formulated feeds to enhance growth and boost immune
system.
FCR – Feed conversion ratio is the amount of feeds given to an animal to produce a
kilo of meat. The lower the FCR, the better for the farmers’ income.
ORGANIC HOG BEDDINGS
 80% Rice Hull /Sawdust (8 bags rice hull/sawdust)
 10% Soil (1 bag soil)
 10% Sand (1 bag sand)
 1 Kg salt
 10ml EMAS per liter of water
 Molasses
 Note: Soil is the ideal habitat for microbes to multiply, the role of salt is to control
ants/centipedes & other insects.
 Always sanitize the pen first before placing the beddings, you may use dried
coconut leaves by placing on the pen and burning it, spray LABS & IMO then leave
for 10 minutes.
Signs/Characteristics of an In-Heat Hog (Sow/Gilt)
 Pinkish or reddish vulva  Frequent urination

 Swelling of vulva  Mounting other pigs or allows other
 Mucus discharge from vulva to mount her
 Restlessness  Fertility Period of Trained Boar = 6-8
months
Care of Pregnant Sow

 Provide separate pen for pregnant  Avoid the animal from stress.
sow.  Avoid noise in the whole animal
 Provide with 14% crude protein. pens.
 Bath the animal during hot weather.
Breeding Techniques & their Advantages

 Up-grading (low quality to a better/high quality breed).
 Cross-breeding (breeding of two different breeds to maintain the good
characteristics of each breed, and improve or attain best quality).
 In-breeding (to maintain the quality of the existing breed/same breed from a closely
related breed but not the same blood line).
