An article from the New Zealand Agricultural Journal highlights open air pig-keeping as a profitable method amid rising feed costs. It cites a December profit of two guineas per head for four month old pigs and a concrete case of 43 per head on grazing three and a half months then finishing in three weeks, on very poor pasture at over 400 feet elevation.
The article evaluates open air pig feeding as an efficient alternative to sty confinement. It notes low capital costs, pasture use, reduced feed waste and disease risk, plus improved herd expansion, with shelters like mobile wooden huts or double thatched hurdles. It warns breeding pools may require some purchased roots to balance forage.
