Description
Designed for mini‑farm pigs, this module builds daily care habits that prevent common home‑scale issues. We cover shade, bedding, and mud management to protect skin, hooves, and thermoregulation. Feeding plans illustrate balanced rations, clean water systems, and routine checks that reduce digestive stress. A handling section teaches calm pen moves, board use, and safe gates to avoid injury. You’ll practice cleaning minor scrapes and monitoring for swelling, heat, or appetite drops requiring veterinary input. Parasite overview explains signs to watch and emphasizes testing and professional guidance for treatment. We include biosecurity steps for visitors, tools, and quarantine of new arrivals. Downloadable daily and weekly checklists keep chores efficient and consistent. You’ll learn how to document symptoms and photos so your vet receives clear information quickly. By the end, pigs stay comfortable, routines are safer, and escalation decisions are easier.
