METHOD FOR KEEPING OF PIGS IN COUNTRY MODULAR PIG FARM AND APPARATUS FOR EFFECTUATING THE SAME Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC A01K67/02 A01K1/02 

FIELD: agriculture, in particular, pig farming.

SUBSTANCE: method involves pig growing steps, with time of steps being equal and quantity of steps being determined from formula: Q=T/τ, where T is pig keeping time, days, and τ is time of farrowing-sucking step, days; after weaning of pigs from sucker swine, transferring sucker swine into individual pen for keeping at rest step T_r and gestation step T_g, with total time of said steps being equal to time of reproduction step T_rep=T_r+T_g, days. Apparatus has pens, each adapted for keeping of one swine with pig litter after farrowing, said pens being positioned according to pig production order and provided with gates, feeders and defecation zone. Number of pens for animals is determined from dependence: N_p=PH+1, where PH is number of pig keeping phases at growing and feeding steps, and 1 is value taking into account number of swine pens at reproduction steps.

EFFECT: increased efficiency by providing series and full-cycle production of pigs.
