Keeping pigs and pig products

Editable products are:

• Products from:
  • Iberian pigs
    • Spanish cuts
    • Ham
  • Duroc pigs

We can also make several non-editable products:

• Fertilizer from the blood and the bones (ground to meal)
• Intestines as sausage casing

Whatever is then left can be put out for insects (flies) to breed larvae that in turn can feed the chickens.

However, the non-editable products require that we can slaughter the pigs ourselves on the farm. That is currently not possible.

More details:

• Regulation
• Keeping them healthy
• Feeding them

Open questions

• should we raise big pigs or aim for 14 arroba (1 arroba equals 11,339 kg) which is about 158 kg
