Think of other story titles which include alliteration, e.g. The Dog in the Dairy, The Snake in the School. Could you write some of these stories? The pigsties are constructed on the pond embankments in such a way that washings are drained to the pond through a delivery channel. A diversion channel is always provided to divert the excreta away from the ponds as these increase algal bloom or any other abnormality. Washings of pigsties are then drained into the pond after sunrise to avoid oxygen depletion. There's at least eight to 10 swine operations within a 2-mile radius of where I live and work," Hall says.

Lighter skinned pigs will actually get sunburned during the summer so giving them a shaded shelter is all the more important.

The new leaders are pigs called Napoleon and Snowball. The animals change the name from Manor Farm to Animal Farm and agree Seven Commandments for a better life.

Shrimp production in paddy-fields is generally practised in areas (generally in the west coast and deltaic areas of eastern India) where only one crop (July to September) of a salt-resistant variety of paddy is grown. Following the harvesting of rice, the bundhs are strengthened and sluice gates are installed to control the water supply. Also, if you have a dairy cow or dairy goats that give you plenty of milk, you could use this to feed your pigs too!If you are a small scale homesteader, don’t think you have to have a massive barn to raise pigs because you don’t.

Integrated fish farming is based on the concept that ‘there is no waste’, and waste is only a misplaced resource which can become a valuable material for another product (FAO, 1977). In integrated farming, the basic principles involve the utilisation of the synergetic effects of inter-related farm activities and the conservation, including the full utilisation of farm wastes.
