At Esther Generation Farm, we believe that the key to producing high-quality pork lies in the well-being of our pigs. Our commitment to maintaining a clean and healthy environment ensures that our pigs are raised in optimal conditions, leading to nutritious and delicious pork for our community.
Creating a Clean Living Space
Hygiene: We prioritize cleanliness in every aspect of our pig farming operation. Our pig pens and housing are regularly cleaned and sanitized to prevent the buildup of waste and minimize the risk of disease. Using non-toxic disinfectants and proper waste management practices, we maintain a hygienic environment that supports the health of our pigs.
Ventilation: Proper airflow is crucial for pig health. Our housing is designed with adequate ventilation to ensure a constant exchange of fresh air. This helps prevent respiratory issues and keeps the living area free from excess moisture, which can contribute to disease.
Bedding: We use high-quality bedding materials such as straw or wood shavings to keep the pigs comfortable and dry. Clean bedding not only provides a cozy resting place but also absorbs moisture and reduces odors, contributing to a healthier environment.
Ensuring Health and Welfare
Nutrition: Our pigs are fed a balanced and nutritious diet tailored to their growth stages and dietary needs. We use high-quality feed that includes essential vitamins and minerals, ensuring our pigs develop properly and maintain robust health. Our feeding practices are designed to avoid overfeeding and underfeeding, promoting optimal growth and reducing waste.
Health Monitoring: Regular health checks are a cornerstone of our farming practices. We work closely with veterinarians to monitor the health of our pigs, administer vaccinations, and manage any health issues promptly. Early detection and treatment of illnesses help prevent the spread of disease and maintain overall herd health.
Socialization and Enrichment: Pigs are social animals that thrive in a stimulating environment. We provide opportunities for social interaction and mental stimulation, such as toys and space for rooting and exploring. Enrichment activities reduce stress and encourage natural behaviors, contributing to the overall well-being of our pigs.
Sustainable Practices
Waste Management: Effective waste management is crucial for maintaining a clean environment. We implement composting and recycling practices to manage manure and reduce environmental impact. The compost produced is used to enrich our soil, supporting our farm’s crop production and closing the nutrient loop.
Water Quality: Clean water is essential for pig health. We ensure that our pigs have constant access to fresh, clean water, regularly checking and maintaining our water supply systems to prevent contamination.
From Farm to Table
By raising our pigs in a clean and healthy environment, we ensure that the pork produced is of the highest quality. Our dedication to humane and sustainable farming practices results in pork that is not only flavorful but also produced with care and respect for animal welfare.
