  INTEGRATED FARMING SYSTEM Production of agricultural crops, vary in response to changes of the seasons.  In the recent period stable income of agricultural crops has become unstable.  Redressing these by integrating crops with agro-based industries like livestock farming is essential.  In today's environment, increasing demand for meat in rural and urban areas can help small and part-time farmers earn good profits by trading with the goat and sheep farming.  Because of less investment and maintenance costs for shed, it can be done in coordination with agriculture crops.

  BENEFITS OF IFS Productivity improvement  Net profit growth and fixed income  Sustainable growth in agriculture  Balanced diet  Pollution free Environment  Recycling of farm residues  Increase in employment  High standard of living

  SWINE PRODUCTION ININTEGRATED FARMING SYSTEN (IFS)  Piggery is a highly profitable enterprise because of among the domesticated animals; pigs are the most prolific one.  Feed conversion ratio is 3.0 to 3.5 KG feed per Kg live weight gain.  In India pig farming and pork production are in the hands of traditional pig farmers belonging to lower income group people.  The food habits of Indians are changing and there is a great demand for pig meat. Integrated pig farming with fish is a demanding venture of enhanced income in the family of lower strata people.

  MANAGEMENT OF SWINEIN (IFS)  Housing management  The pigs are very sensitive to adverse climatic conditions hence, well protected housing is necessary for pig farming.  It should be well protected from direct sunlight, rain and wind.  The walls and floors should be strong enough to withstand the rooting habits of pigs.  To provide thermal comfort in hot summer days a wallowing tank may be provided in pig house.  Pigs are kept under two housing systems VIZ. indoor system and open air system.  A combination of these two systems is very advantageous and can be adopted in

  SPACE REQUIREMENT  Forfurrowing sows an individual furrowing pen with 10 to 16 sq ft/sow having feed and water through including guard rails & creep areas should be provided.  A concrete yard with feed and water trough is sufficient for fatteners.  A sow with her litter requires 80 sq ftcovered and 70 sq ft open area.

  FEEDING REQUIREMENT  Anadult boar should be fed 2 kg concentrate mixture daily.  For a pregnant sow the ratio is 2.5 kg and for lactating sow it is 3.0kg daily.  Piglets consume about 10 kg creep feed up to 8 weeks of age.

  BREEDING MANAGEMENT  Pigscan be breed at the age of 8 to 9 months or 80 to 90 kg body weight and the boar-sow ratio should be 1:20.  Oester cycle in pig is 21 days.  After 24 hours of onset of heat is right time for mating, followed by a second mating after 8 to 12 hours.  Gestation period in pig is 114 days.

  CARE OF NEWBORN Generally a sow gives birth 8 to 12 piglets per furrowing.  The piglets are weaned at 6 to 8 weeks of age when they attain body weight 10 to 12 kg.  On second day of furrowing the piglets must be injected with 50mg iron injection to prevent piglet anaemia.  A second dose of injection may be given at 5 weeks of ago.  Creep feeding with 20% of protein vitamins and minerals should be ensured from one week age for optimum growth of piglets.

  HEALTH MANAGEMENT  Pigsare susceptible to heat stroke.  Provision of wallowing or water sprinkling is very important during summer months.  Vaccination for swine fever and food and mouth diseases must be done periodically.  Regular deworming is advised for a pig farm.
