Natural environmental swine operation system

By Eric Chen

Most people recognize that motor vehicle emission is a major culprit of global warming. Yet not many know that livestock industry collectively produces about 51% more greenhouse gases than all the other industries combined. Veganism as a solution to reduce carbon emission will remain idealistic for a long time.

Current approach to curtail swine farm greenhouse gas emission embraces three key components. Maximizing swine feed utilization for conversion to either meat and energy thereby minimizing generation of animal wastes. Implicatively as the second component is that the feed shall effectuate the growth of healthy swine with minimum to nil mortality, thereby drastically reducing the consequential waste treatment & disposal. The obvious, third tenet entails the provision of an environment and setting that are conducive to healthy, active swine growth - indeed a good practice being increasingly adopted by the owners & operators. Let us tersely expound the articulated three-pronge approach to eventuate significant reduction of greenhouse gases, hence mitigating global warming. Along with it the author would like to take this opportunity to introduce a thoroughly R & D tested, in situ performance proven and acclaimed glaciated natural organic product: P.O.D.

To achieve the objectives implicit in the three components would necessitate three distinctive, integratable implements which, respectively, are

1. Enable an active, effective metabolism;
2. Restore, establish & maintain a strong immunity; and
3. Augument environmentally confluent management.

The first two are intrinsic attributes of POD and the third, although extrinsic, is substantially complemented by POD. In essence, it is an integrated Natural Environmental Swine Operation System.

1. Metabolism: Typical feed conversion rate 3.5 was appreciated to 2.3, i.e. a saving of 35% in feed. As most of the protein was digested to becoming meat, generation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfides were reduced in tandem from > 400 p.p.m. to < 20 p.p.m. Likewise, feces had been drastically reduced and neither was E.Coli detected.

2. Immunity: High mortality and sickness have plagued the modern swine industry. Extensive POD test results have proven its ability in promoting the animal's self-defence system and eradicating toxins & growth inhibitors in the feed. Healthy swine obviously give rise to better feed conversion rate and better quality of meat. Absence of deployment of antibiotics in feed became the norm. Survival rate of less than 70% have risen to better than 98%. The old offspring per sow of 22.5 also increased to 27.5.

3. Natural Confluent Environment: The much less toxic offgases and stench solid & liquid wastes present in the living settings is most conducive to healthy, energetic wines in all stages of growing process. The owner/operator would also be greatly benefitted from much less capital, operation & maintenance costs of barn and peripheral facility, such as ventilation, waste treatment & disposal. And, the last but not the least, the old nighmarish regulatory compliance & costs may just be a pleasant routine.

In conclusion, POD has laid the foundation of Natural Environmental Swine Operation System under which carbon emission, global warming are significantly relented while substantial cost-saving, good quality of meat, and high productivity are realized. Who are the winners? The ecology, environment, the owners-operators, the consumers and, naturally, the happy swine!
