Manure in a commercial situation is relatively straightforward. If it is combined with straw it can be heaped and then spread on the land. Obviously this is easy if the arable land is being farmed in tandem with the pigs. If this is not the case, a linked deal of ‘straw-for-muck’ has to be arranged. If the pigs are outdoor pigs then their fields need to be rotated with arable fields in rotation. If pigs are on slats or have another slurry-type system, the slurry needs to be stored in a lagoon for later disposal. Whatever system is employed, manure needs to be removed on a really regular basis and stored well away from the pigs to prevent a problem with flies. With one or two pet pigs the manure can easily be mulched on to a muckheap and dug into a vegetable garden. Smallholders need to give thought to muck disposal.
