Not you to what extent the animal upbringing can be organic, because under the point of view, the organic thing doesn't allow the use of artificial or chemical substances for its development. In the case of the pigs, if it is that we speak of upbringing tecnificada, they are low a strict program of desparasitación and vaccination, as well as of dosage of vitamins and antibiotics when it is required, situation that no longer allows the condition of organic for them, still if their feeding is based on natural products. Even, in the case of the Creole pigs, animals that have lived for centuries in an extensive way, and that for ende they are not I lower any sanitary program, they consume residuals of crop that has probably received pesticidas to control plagues, or eat garbage that for obvious reasons, it also possesses artificial substances. It would be very grateful if they could offer me more information and power to enlarge my panorama.
Greetings.

I will count You the experience that we have with a program of Creole pig, race peeled Zunga, exploitation in shepherding, feeding based on cane, and a suplementación of 400 grams of cake of Soya during all their productive life, not you descolmilla, iron is not applied, they are not castrated, not you vermifugan, gives birth to in herdsman, the male it is permanently with the female in herdsman. We have ended up using as protein source Ramio and Quiebrabarrigo, but in these moments because there is not readiness, we are using the Cake of Soya. They are 50 animals, they are sacrificed from 30 to 35 kilos. Areas are sowing in Caupi, to use the hay like supplement, the same thing of producing yeasts starting from cane juice, to improve the protein contribution. The idea is to integrate the species totally to the cane production, the cane that they chew, is picked up, it serves as bed or I eat sustrato for lombricultura, or forage source for ruminant.

I find interesting that described by the Ing Arroyave, but not you to what extent one could speak of an organic production, because as I mentioned in my previous comment, the use of insecticides in agriculture, would prevent that properly this organic production is called. It would be grateful if they could offer me more information about this new current. Greetings.

The organic production from the strict and commercial point of view, is the one that possesses all their documented processes and authenticated by an organism certifier. Specifically the production of organic pig contemplates the production of a high percentage of the nutritious sources in the same farms and also with organic handling. For example: if a property produces the 85 of its materials for the piensos (corn and soya, as example also) the remaining one 15 can come from another place provided it is certified as organic material. For the part suplementación vitamínica, this if it is allowed in most of certification norms. And the mineral part, for example the dosage of mineral premezclas is allowed in the diets provided these come from natural mineral sources, like they are most. Then, it is very well-known that the animals when growing in contact with the natural floor receive of this the required quantity of iron for their development, the injections are eliminated this way the pigs. The females, they can receive conventional treatments of desparasitacion since they are not harvested as organic product, but only their production. For example the ivermectinas use is allowed for the females until the first two thirds of the period of pregnancy.
For not exemplifying you all the cases one can of what or what one is not able to, nadamás imagines that any portion of the feeding of the pigs should come from organic sources, either an elaborated product, a by-product or an I waste of crop.
Another of the main contributions of the organic production is the improvement of the environmental conditions of the animals where these can express their behavior in a natural way and their movements are not restricted and the allowed maximum populations let him to appear the social behavior not repressive of the animales(peléas, I nibble, obsessive repetitive movements, etc). It is proven also that the improvements in animal well-being the sanitary defenses of the animals increase, that which implies a point more in favor of this production type. In short it can be enough articles on handling sanitarium, nutritious etc in internet, really surprises to observe like we have been blinded, I include myself, to the production I lower copied systems of countries under conditions of difficult climate, high subsidies to the producers and I have been able to see like very similar productive parameters are achieved between the conventional production and the organic one. And if we make a balance among the productive variables of the production added to the social and environmental benefits that conyeva the organic prod, comes out winning the POrganica definitively.
Apart from it, I have interest in sharing experience as for the animal load of the pastures and diverse systems of rotation of pastures in pigs for the ProdOrganica. If they can write me on that I thank them to him a lot
thank you
