Welcome to the world, Piglets!

Babies! Didn't know that Pot Belly piglets were that small. It looked like a big rat! 
This was our first time delivering piglets in a natural way and luckily, we did not encounter any problems like piglets suddenly dying or crushing issues (Mother pig accidentally crushes her baby pig). 

Sows (Mother Pig) are very protective with their young. They usually growl and sometimes charge us whenever we get close to their offspring. Despite this behavior, we are happy with the outcome because coming from a conventional farm, we rarely see such freedom from the mother pigs to act in their natural behavior. Note that in a conventional piggery farm, the mother pig is placed in a farrowing crate and her movements are very limited.  

 One of our top priorities in Crusor is the welfare of the animals. As much as possible, we want to mimic the animals' natural habitat and give them less stress.

Free Ranged / Pastured Pigs

Happy pigs doing their natural ways. Four months into ranging and neither a single mortality nor sickness hit them. One thing I noticed is that they don't squeal for food - which means they are comfortable with their environment and they are fed well. Being able to range allows them to feed on natural foods such as grass cuttings and insects.

The boar and the sow pot belly. She's also pregnant.

The white pigs from EJB farms. Look at their nice body structure. This is primarily because of they eat natural foods and they exercise (running). These white pigs are such runners - they can even outrun the native pigs.

Special thanks to EJB Farms (Pandi,Bulacan) for giving us Class A piglets. EJB Farms offer pigs with superior genetic lines as well. They also sell commercial pigs at a reasonable price:)
