Swine production refers to the breeding and raising of pigs for meat, primarily pork. This agricultural practice involves various stages, including breeding, gestation, farrowing (birthing), and finishing, where pigs are raised to market weight. Farmers often focus on genetics, nutrition, and health management to optimize production and ensure high-quality meat. In swine production, different breeds are selected for specific traits, such as growth rate and meat quality. The industry also emphasizes biosecurity measures to prevent disease outbreaks, which can significantly impact herd health and productivity. Sustainable practices are increasingly important to minimize environmental impact and improve animal welfare.
