A warm welcome and lovely greetings to everyone here in my blog, regards to all my fellow amiable steemians across the globe, how are you all doing today? I strongly believe that you all are enjoying the beautiful and wonderful moments February 2025. by the way I'm @john247 from #Nigeria it's my pleasure having you all in this amazing contest "Agricultural Story #7" organized by @ruthjoe.

As a student back then i usually woke up very early in the morning every week days before the cocks even crows to greet the dawn and i will start my day with my usual prayer and morning devotion before starting with some of the house chores and routines fastly other to meet up with school as early as possible.

So one faithful morning when i woke very early as usual i noticed some noise coming out from our pigsty that morning with so much curiosity in my mind i went to check out for my self to find out the cause of the noise because it seems something is actually wrong with our pig over there.

Reaching there i was surprised to see that our pig have give birth to eight piglets at once and i was so happy that i have to inform my parents and siblings because this have been our expectations for sometimes now and it has actually come to pass.

Pigs is a good domestic animal to rear which can also be refer to as swine or hogs, pigs are omnivores mammals with short bristle and tick skin, a male pig is called sare, while the females pigs are called sow, and the baby pigs are called piglets and for pig farming to be complete and effective you have to try by all means to avoid the following, inadequate housing and space, poor nutrition, neglecting biosecurity measures, inefficient breeding practices, waste to surrounding neighborhoods, polluted environment and insufficient feeding.

Despite all the dirtyness and irritating body there are still many advantages and benefits of rearing them which includes......

• It is very fast in reproduction, most species of pigs are very fast in reproduction that it can reproduce three times in a year if properly taken care of that feeding and medicating them regularly
• pigs generates income mostly when we are rearing and breeding them for commercial purpose this will help boost the income of the owner which will help him in many ways
• pigs provides provides us with meat which is very rich in vitamin
• pigs are able to survive on low quality feeds and are resistant to some diseases that is to say low income are required in maintaining and taking care of pigs and they can hardly get sick
• pigs are self are self-sufficient, obedient, easy to rear and train just like dog.

I have come to the end point of this week #7 contest on agricultural story, special thanks to the organizer for such an amazing contest which i will be inviting my fellow steemians @josepha @ukagod @shawlin to take part as well.
