So many people I speak to plan to start their free range farm with rare breed pigs, in particular, the Wessex Saddleback or English Large Black and some, the Berkshire.
Prohibited food waste (commonly called swill) is food waste containing meat or any other mammalian products or by-products including imported milk products.
How do I get started in free range pig farming? It’s a question that is now being asked on a regular basis. Firstly, and probably most importantly, contact your local council and ask if there are any restrictions or special requirements for farming pigs in your area.
New pig welfare standards have been introduced into Victoria and apply to all people involved in pig farming including stock handlers, supervisors, managers and piggery owners.
