Outdoor Pig-Keeping (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781446540169)

This antique book contains a detailed guide to keeping pigs outdoors, offering its readers all the information necessary for keeping pigs in this fashion. The methods described have worked well on the author's own farm, and will be of considerable value for the modern farmer looking to start keeping pigs - or to improve their existing pig farms. The chapters of this book include: 'Why Out-of-Doors?', 'Housing Hints and Ideas', 'Management of the In-Pig Sow', 'The Steaming-Up Question', 'Trouble-Free Farrowing', 'Sow and Litter - From Birth to Weaning', 'All-The-Year-Round Grazing', 'The Electric-Fence Technique', 'Weighing and Recording', etcetera. This volume was originally published in 1954, and we are proud to republish it now, complete with a new and specially commissioned introduction on pig farming.
