 I. INTRODUCTION

Hog raising in the Philippines has been a profitable business for Filipinos through the

decades. Its popularity is evidently seen among backyards of rural families. An average Filipino

family usually raises a small number of pigs to augment their daily needs. While both parents are

busy with their work, children may help in raising a few piglets until they reach their marketable

age. No wonder, more hogs are produced in backyards compared to commercial piggeries.

Natural pig farming attempts to mirror instinctive pig feeding behavior through types of

food we give and how feed is offered, and the timing of feeding. All pigs in a sty are are fed at

the same time. We feed pigs two times day, in the morning and late afternoon / early

evening.These are time periods pigs in their natural state would choose to eat. We also offer a

wide variety of food, both processed powder mixes and fresh natural vegetation.

Natural pig farming feed balances the producer needs of low cost with the natural feed

desires of the pig. We add fresh succulent greens to our processed powder pig feed to provide the

fiber, nutrients and natural taste absent from the dry powder only feed mixes used by most pork

producers. (https://www.naturalpigfarming.com)
