ADVANTAGES OF CAMBOROUGH PIG BREED OVER OTHER BREEDS

Image
By

Recommended article;
Camborough pigs are a product of a cross-breeding system known as criss-crossing- an alternated use of boars of two or more breeds on the female stock produced in a herd. This distributes good characteristics from many different breed lines involved and these are related to meat fat distribution (carcass quality), disease resistance, larger litter size and others. The animal is usually white in colour but, in rare cases, may show characteristics of particular breeds involved in the criss-crossing.

The Camborough is bred to maximize the kilograms of weaned pigs per year with excellent feed efficiency. In addition, the Camborough can be bred typically three weeks earlier than other genetics, resulting in a higher total number of piglets per sow per lifetime and lower production costs.
Every pig farmer want pigs that have rapid growth, lean carcass quality and good feed conversion ratio. Return on Investment (ROI) in pig farming is usually influenced by breed or genetics.

Poultry litter Sharivit Litter collection The increase in human population and the competition for food between man and animals leading to the sharp rise in the cost of animal feeds, farmers are now looking for ways to reduce feed costs and the use of poultry litter is an effective way of reducing production cost in animal production particularly swine production. Poultry litter  is a mixture of droppings, feathers, bedding material, feeds and water in the chicken house before or after cleaning. • Poultry litter is profitable for use either as manure or animal feed since it maximises total nutrient input. • Poultry litter is an economical and safe source of protein, minerals, and energy for pig. When chickens are raised in deep litter  houses, a layer of material(bedding materials) is used to cover the ground to give the birds a suitable surface. Types of bedding materials to use in poultry houses if it's to be fed to pigs. Basically, there are two types of bedd
