Poultry Ground Hygiene and Pig Rearing tips
A guide urges avoiding turkeys on ground with chickens or where droppings are spread. Clean, unused grounds are essential. Rapid gains reduce costs, and early feeding drives pigs from birth to finished weight. Two monthly suckling is common, though early-fed pigs may wean sooner. If pursuing two litters yearly, suckling shortens to allow fall breeding. Castration and hog cholera vaccination are best done before weaning.
