Twitter @juangangel The pig (Sus scrofa domestica) is a subspecies of artiodactyl mammal in the Suidae family. It is a domestic animal used as human food by many peoples. Its scientific name is Sus scrofa ssp. domestica, although some authors call it Sus domesticus or Sus domestica, reserving Sus scrofa for the wild boar. Its domestication began in the Near East about 13,000 years ago, although a parallel and independent domestication process occurred in China. Pigs are omnivorous, making them easy to feed. On many farms, kitchen waste is part of their diet. In captivity and when food is lacking, they can even eat their own young. They also often eat excrement, having a particular preference for it. During pig production, good nutritional practices are essential. Maintaining a complete diet that ensures the intake of proteins, vitamins, and minerals is essential. It is important to keep in mind that nutritional requirements vary and depend on the level of consumption and daily gain, and are affected by factors such as genetics, breed, sex, environment, health status, and the availability and absorption of nutrients by the animal. It is also important to properly manage medications in pigs to prevent the bioaccumulation of toxic residues in pork. Source: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sus_scr... Juan Gonzalo Angel www.tvagro.tv
