Extract

The recent increase of some 40 per cent, in the country’s pig population has been instrumental in bringing about one of those periodic renaissances in pig housing which appear to be not uncommon in the history of agriculture. The importance of good pig housing as an essential factor to efficient pig production and subsequent pig profitability is probably more widely recognised today than ever before. We must have more home-produced food, therefore we must keep more pigs, and if we are to do so profitably we must have good pig housing.
