Earn billions from pig farming

When she first started raising pigs, she had no experience and lacked capital, so Ms. Nguyen's family only built a small barn and bought 2 sows to raise. After a period of care, the 2 sows gave birth to their first litter. Ms. Nguyen kept all the piglets to raise, then selected healthy female pigs to continue raising sows, and sold the rest for meat.

Seeing that pig farming was economically efficient, the couple decided to expand the barn system, dividing it into separate areas for each litter of piglets to facilitate care and cleaning of the barn. In recent years, Mrs. Nguyen's family's barn has always had 20 sows and more than 200 pigs.

Ms. Nguyen raises sows in separate pens for convenient care and monitoring of piglets.

To keep the pigs healthy and grow quickly, Ms. Nguyen always keeps the barn clean and airy, strictly follows the vaccination schedule, and especially supplements the amount of food to ensure adequate nutrition for the pigs according to each stage of growth. When the weather changes, such as hot sun or cold rain for many days, Ms. Nguyen supplements the pigs with vitamins to increase their resistance.

With the sows, she raises each pig separately per cage for convenience in bathing, feeding, and monitoring each pig's ovulation cycle for timely fertilization; fertilization is done alternately to maintain herd regeneration, thanks to which her family sells 20-30 pigs per month.

Ms. Nguyen said that she learned and summarized her experience in raising pigs, pig breeding techniques and applied them effectively to her family's raising. If you want your pigs to be healthy, reproduce well and achieve high efficiency, the most important step is to select breeds. For meat pigs, you need to choose pigs with long, balanced bodies, slim bellies, straight backs, wide buttocks and shoulders, straight and strong legs, rosy skin, thin, shiny hair, active walking, and a good appetite. Do not choose pigs that are stunted or have disabilities...

With stable output and prices, after deducting expenses, on average each year, Ms. Nguyen's family earns more than 1 billion VND in profit from pig farming. Currently, she and her husband are preparing to build more barns to raise sows.
