Don’t Overfeed Your Farm Pig

A common cause of over-exploitation of small animals is over-consumption of feed items, whether animal products or feed provided by humans. Over-feeding can lead to mineral deficiencies, increased digestibility of animal proteins, and compromised immune system functions. If you’re not careful, your farm pig will be too full to efficiently consume the resources around it. This will cause the animals to urinate standing up, which will release millions of cells and bacteria into the environment, which only becomes a problem when the animals aren’t able to urinate sitting down.

Protect Your Farm Pig From UV Rays

As well as keeping your pig safe from the harmful UV rays that penetrate the Earth’s atmosphere every day, you can also protect it from high levels of light. A red light fixture is one of the best investments you can make for your pig. It provides high-intensity light with a low intensity, making it almost invisible to the eye. In addition, barns and orchards can be source of UV rays, which can cause mild to moderate eye problems for some animals, like the sallow pig. Prevent these conditions by keeping your pig inside when it’s inside the barn or field, and cover the area with a white towel when it’s outside.
