Recently, someone asked, does raising a few pigs in a rural family have a big impact on the environment? Today, let's talk about my personal opinion. There are still some controversies about pig breeding in rural areas. Some people think that raising pigs in rural areas will have some impact on the ecological environment. For example, due to the lack of complete sewage treatment facilities in rural areas, some pig manure will be discharged out of order and pollute the environment. There are some unpleasant smells in the community, especially in summer, and the whole village stinks. Another reason is that pigs raised in rural areas will breed a large number of flies, mosquitoes and other harmful insects, leading to the spread of some diseases.

On the contrary, some people think that it is natural for farmers to build pigsty and raise pigs in front of and behind their houses for thousands of years. It is normal for a family to feed two or three pigs, slaughter them and eat meat. Its impact on the environment can be ignored, otherwise it will not bring any impact.

However, faced with these two views, there are still different views on how to raise a few pigs in rural families. Personally, as long as it is handled properly and the impact on the environment is minimized, it should be no problem for a family to raise several pigs. But there are several ideas about how to raise funds: first, if it is not large-scale farming, large-scale farming here refers to more than 10 pigs. It should be possible to build a pigsty in the village without affecting the production and life of other residents. No problem. If the breeding scale exceeds 10, the pig farm should be built outside the village far away from residential areas.

Secondly, when determining the location of the pigsty, try to stay away from the residence and build the pigsty on the north side of the residence as much as possible, because there are usually more southerly winds in summer, so that there will be no unpleasant smell blowing near the residence. At the same time, flies should be eliminated regularly in summer to reduce the number of mosquitoes and flies. Thirdly, the excreta should be properly treated, such as mixing excreta with soil regularly to make organic fertilizer, or using biogas as biogas raw material and then recycling biogas residue as fertilizer.
