Aside from food nutrients, this contains antibodies that will help the piglets fight diseases. 2) Fostering is done if sows do not produce enough milk orhave given birth to large litter. 17 113Sheep and Goat Farming -Classification of Breeds of Indian and exotic origin- nomenclature alone. -124 18 125Systems of rearing -Housing management Type design Floor diagram Space Requirement for adult and young stock. -127 19 Care and management of ram, ewe and lamb -Nutrition Feeds and fodder for small Ruminants. 128 135 20 Care and Management of Buck, DOE and kid -Nutrition Flushing pig production unit. 9.

Pig husbandry plays a major role in rural economy of the North East India where the tribal community rear pigs in backyard system [5] . Pig population is 2.10 million in Assam state only according The side walls of the sheds should be 4 - 5 ft. high and remaining height should be fitted with GI pipes or wooden poles. The walls should be plastered to make them damp proof. The roof should be at least 8 - 10 ft. high. The pig sty should be well ventilated. 1.3 Management Systems in Goat Farming Depending on the ecological zone and the production purpose, different farming- and management systems can be distinguished: intensive, tethering, semi-intensive and extensive system. 1.3.1 Intensive system or zero grazing This system is more suitable for improved (dairy) goats in the humid and sub-humid Resources and research on best practice husbandry for large- and small-scale swine farmers, from nutrition to housing, health and safety to stockmanship and much more Pig management.

In modern commercial breeding programs, most boars of high genetic merit are housed in boar studs, where they are managed for production of semen doses for use with artificial insemination. Boar studs are typically managed to ensure the highest levels of health and biosecurity. However, on smaller farms, breeding boars may Provide a sufficient amount of straw (min. 2 kg) for nest building behaviour. Avoid excessive ambient temperature (> 25 °C) at the sow level, as this would inhibit her appetite and reduce milk production. Follow recommendations in the chapter «piglet mortality» to reduce piglet mortality.
