why are pigs raised on a farm?

I think techically it's ranch, much like a cattle ranch.  It's easier to feed/round-up/medicate if they are in one place.  Pig farm just sounds cooler than pig ranch.

i would say beef/red meat for sure. Pigs do not have sweat glands so all the impurities just sit inside their bodies + they are not always fed the best of things.  I never eat prok and if i do it's in very very small amounts.  You are what you eat...

The Pig is a rooting animal - the potato is a root vegetable.  I imagine the relationship could be symbiotic if the areas were well defined and drained in accordance to the needs of either.  In addtion, cull potatoes might make a great feed for pigs and certainly, the manure from the pigs would enrich the potato soil if used sparingly.  In addition, the roots and vines of sweet potatoes are already used as a feed enhancement in many parts of the world.

A stud farm or stud in animal husbandry, is an establishment for selective breeding. The term takes its name from word for the entire, (that is, not castrated), male of a given animal species that is standing at stud, meaning available for reproduction. Studs may be said to be "closed" (where no outside males or females are used) or "open", where outside animals may be mated with individuals from the stud. Usually, outside animals must be approved by the owners or studmasters of the establishment, sometimes quite hefty stud fees are involved.\n\nThe word stud is often restricted to larger domesticated (especially farm) animals, such as cattle and horses. A specialized vocabularly exists for the studs of other animals, such as kennel (dog), cattery (cat) and aviary (birds).\n\nSo Horse Stud means Horse breeding. Mostly this term is used for racing horses.

all countries, whether japan, US, chile, argentina, germany or wherever, have an office of agriculture...under that office i think is the livestock division...that probably the best place to ask information about breeding pigs and goats. you didnt mention from what country you come from... but if you live in a highly urbanized city, its a no-no to breed it in your house...haha...good luck on your breeding!

Well there is always the domesticated animals. Will your neighbors really miss their cats. Or the pesky baking dog that could be taught a lesson. \n\nWhat about cows??? You wouldn't kill them but it sure is fun

Yes, they are. At least as intelligent as dogs. I had a pet pig when I was a child and she was very smart. I have seen reports of pigs that have been trained to really impressive things- like play piano, but who is to say that trainability equals intelligence. As far as possessing the ability to sense when they are about to be slaughtered- I am not sure about that one. But I can't imagine that when one of them sees a big goony redneck standing over them with a shotgun that they aren't at least concerned.

They dont, birds do. Humans can not catch a virus from birds tho, so there has to be a middleman (well pig). Birds give the virus to hogs, who then with a little twist of the virus give it to humans (hence the first name of swine flew). The best place for this to happen is a place that has both foul & pigs (a farm) so that is why you always hear about chickens & ducks (but it can be any bird).

They are fertilized by the rooster!  The chickens people raise on their own usually they have a rooster if they want to have the eggs fertilized,then they have to have a hen that is called a setter,that will sit on the eggs,protect them and keep them warm until the babies hatch.  You CAN eat farm fresh eggs that are fertilized though too. You can tell if they are fertilized because there will be a small blood spot in the white of the egg.    \n\nThe eggs you get from the store are not fertilized because the chickens produce eggs on their own.  You don't need a rooster to get an egg from a chicken.  You only need a rooster to fertilize eggs.\n\nThe rooster mounts the hen and then use your imagination!  It is similar to human eggs being fertilized.  Only difference is the rooster can fertilize MANY eggs a day! Especially if he has a lot of hens to choose from.

Yes some plants and animals are farmed in the oceans. Sea weed such as kelp and many shell fish such as oysters and mussles are being farmed today. There are also hatcheries. These are places where some fish are born then let loose in the wild where they return to spawn. Some hatcheries raise fish till they are old enough to "harvest", then put to market.

Pigs and hogs both have stomachs. A hog is just a large pig.
