- I would like to get a couple.
- If you buy two couples, the price will be lower.
- I do not need four pieces. I would like to fatten them for my own useown use. I intend to use some of the meat products for direct saledirect sale. If it pays off I will buy more piglets from you.
- We will soon select the best animals. Of course the boars are already castrated.
- At what age do you castrate them?

- So I no longer have to register them?
- You must report the purchase and mark them with a tattoo.
- I can see there are pigs of all ages in your piggery: sowssows, boarsboars, pigletspiglets, suckling pigssuckling pigs and porkersporkers.
- I mainly deal with the pedigree breeding of meat pig breeds and the sale of piglets. However, some of the offspring I leave for fattening on my own farm.
- Is it worth it?
- Recently the demand for pork has increased and the price is high. Yes, but each group of animals, in a different direction of production, requires different feed. Where do you get the feed from?
- Yes, I have my own crops but I buy feed concentrates suitable for each animal group.
- And the animals in your farm do not get sick?
- Very rarely, because I care about their health, they have adjusted microclimate in the room and continuous veterinary care.
- Are you not afraid of African swine feverAfrican swine fever?
- I try to prevent illness. I use disinfectant mats, protective clothing, keep the farm clean and restrict access of strangers to the piggery.
