Prospects from hybrid wild boar breeding

Coming from a farming family, with her diligence, hard work and quick wit, Ms. Dang Hong Dong, Cai Nuoc Bien hamlet, Phu Tan commune, connected with a company in Dong Thap province, building a model of raising hybrid wild boars at home. Currently, the model is developing well and has many economic prospects, according to Vietnam Livestock Magazine .

After investing capital and building barns, Ms. Dong bought 15 hybrid wild boars to raise. She took advantage of many available food sources such as vegetables, tubers, banana trees, etc. grown by her family and given by neighbors, thus saving some food costs.

For hybrid wild boars, when they give birth, they will take care of themselves, and the newborn piglets will suckle themselves without much support from the breeder. During the entire breeding process, Ms. Dong applied a scientific breeding process, ensuring environmental hygiene, and proactively preventing diseases, so the pigs were healthy, grew quickly, and reproduced quickly. After more than 6 months of breeding, the hybrid wild boars reproduced, and currently the total herd in the barn is 50 pigs. On average, each batch of pigs raised for meat will reach a weight of about 20-25 kg/pig after about 4 and a half months, at which time they will be sold, with an average selling price of 90,000 VND/kg.

The hybrid wild boar farming model of Ms. Dong's family opens up a new direction of development in the transformation of livestock structure, especially for female members who want to start a business in their hometown.
