How to raise pigs ecologically?

Ecological pig rearing is to use the principles of ecology to guide pig production, or the principles of ecology, biology, economics applied to pig production. Specifically, ecological pig farming is based on the basic principles of ecosystem material cycle and energy flow, the pig as a necessary component of the agro-ecosystem, the application of agro-ecological engineering methods, natural and organic organization of the pig production system, to achieve the optimal comprehensive benefits of the pig production system and the sustainable development of the pig industry.

Ecological pig farming emphasizes that pigs are only one of the important elements of a specific agro-ecosystem or agricultural production system. As an animal of the domesticated animal community in the agro-ecosystem, the pig cannot be separated from the environment in which it survives and develops. The feed, breed, enclosure, feeding method, market and other aspects related to pig raising constitute an inseparable system with pig as the core, which is the production system of ecological pig raising.

Ecological pig farming requires interdependence with the environment, the formation of a good environment, not only to make the pig production system itself is a virtuous cycle system, but also with the agricultural production system to form an interdependent relationship, so that the pig industry and agricultural resources, environmental harmonization, and to take the road of sustainable development of human pig farming. Ecological pig farming should be considered to meet the basic needs of contemporary humans on the quantity and quality of pig products, but not to the detriment of the basic ecological conditions of pig production for future generations.
