A Field Trip to Ohio Pig Farms and Farm Song 

💀

MrEjidorie no. They get given a lot of food. Once they get about a year they stop growing. It's basically like any other living thing. Even trees.

MrEjidorie yes.

There are no steroid hormones approved for swine. I work in the pork industry, pigs are not given any hormones. Great question. Why do pigs grow quickly? 270 lbs. in 7 months, because of great well balance feed, sound barn management (managing temperature), great vet care, and genetics. I hope that helps, thanks for asking.

+Daniel Gowanlock Thank you for your reply. I`m going to relay your message to my wife because she is very nervous about the safety of imported pork and and quite reluctant to feed pork to our fourteen years old son at a growing stage right now. Your information convinces us that my son will not grow to 270 lbs in 7 months.

Daniel Gowanlock I was just gonna comment this, we had Payleen here in Canada and we were the only farm in our area that didn't use it and we had the highest production rates of all

😂😂😂😂😂

purple- puddle- what about it?

seriously?

Colby Sainsbury That means they are ready to be sold to go to process for the meat counter at wal mart enjoy your pork chop

I know, right?!? There not going to show THAT.

The floors are slated, so the manure falls into a pit. The pits on my farm are around 14 feet deep. We haul the manure in large tanks into out fields twice a year and "inject" it into the ground.

Kelly Lund your uneducated shut up please

We always sell to bio fuel industries to help the environment contrary to popular belief

@@MagnumPI4 the urine and 💩 are not "injected" into the ground. That's not how it's disposed.

@@timmyteabag69 you're.

ole Laupsa The pig farms of today are nicer than some homes in the poorest parts of the United States and foreign countries. Unfortionatly you know this is true.Why worry about the pork industry and what happens to pigs and you do not care about the people in the world. If we did not consume pork or beef where would you put them all . this is a never ending cycle Most of the normal people like to eat meat the body requires meat to do hard physical labor .you know nothing about the pork industry .the pigs are care for better than some children and the elderly .You will never stop the livestock and dairy industry .It is needed in this world The American Farmer feeds the world now more than ever.It is sad that the people of the U.S. are so miss informed about the number one industry of the United States.

perry spradlin pigs are not made to be inside and tortured and if all livestock animals was released in to the wild it's more space to homes to dose people

ole Laupsa DO you kow what would happen if pigs wear turned loose they turn wild and kill your pets and you kids possibly . wild hogs are a major problem in the southern states they destory crops pastures and will kill dog and cats .Kown to attack humans .Now how do you know that pigs or any livestock are torture. Any thing that is torture will not grow to 280 pounds in 6 or 7 months. If a pig is in any form of stress it will not grow no livestock will .it has to be warm and dry and have clean drinking water and plenty of feed this has to happen this is the way the farmer makes his liveing if they raise live stock . This is a problem to much misinformation . NOT ALL LIVESTOCK PRODUCERS A CRUEL. IF YOU DO NOT LIKE WHAT YOU SEE TURN OFF WHAT YOU ARE WATCHING . you are not going to stop people from eating meat it is a muitly million if not billion dollar business. THE pigs are raised inside to protect them from sickness .

perry spradlin have you seen a pig outside animals are not made to be inside I just want animals to tenured to the wild. No farm animal cen have a good life inside if you can't see that is it something rong with you.

ole Laupsa Yes i have saw pig raised out side .I used to raise pig when i farmed . NOTHING WRONG WITH ME .It is just easey to raise hogs inside .you keep them fed and watered and they do fine. Yes people still raise pig out side it take longer to take them to market weight witch is now 280 pounds . when i farmed the market weight was 240 pounds. it is easer to put them in side and use the ground to raise corn ,soybeans or wheat .The farmer do not due this to be cruel . the farmer has to due this to make a little profit you do not make much money farming.just because you see a new combine or new tractor or a new steel building more than likely it is all paid for . farming takes alot of money more than most nonfarm people want to think about farming is not 9 am to 5 pm job with live stock yourr on call 24/7 365 it is a way of life and a good life a lot of hard work.

Really kenny
