I like that how pigs have lots of room. some pig farmers just keep them in a small room and doesn't care about their well-being. keep doing what you do

[@AnvilmediaAu]

I'm sure they will. We'd like to meet those pig farmers who don't care about their animals. Haven't met one yet, even those who house them indoors.

[@bearlheegan]

now, this is what I called a Farm. a proper one.

[@AnvilmediaAu]

Yep, it is. Although proper farms come in a lot of shapes, sizes, and types.

[@darwinbeastley8141]

Pigs are healthy in this methods they can run and play not stress.

[@AnvilmediaAu]

Yep. Spot on.

[@timsim1940]

I'm from Canada.. big respect to you guys for doing this! The whole world should follow this farming technique..

[@AnvilmediaAu]

It's not always possible. I'd suggest in a Canadian winter pigs would rather be inside.

[@AnvilmediaAu]

There are different ways to farm and who's to say which is better. I think if they tried this in Saskatoon, the pigs would freeze for part of the year.

[@WanderingWolf365]

ive seen farms in the US and PH where the pen is the exact size of the pig and they can't move and they go insane. - WW

[@ruhanhuman3190]

I am from South Africa and busy doing the research for commercial free range pig on our farm. Can you please help me with the info and some tips.

[@AnvilmediaAu]

I suggest you call Australian Pork Limited australianpork.com.au/about-us/contact/

[@AnvilmediaAu]

Hi, we made this video for our client, Australian Pork Limited. Their research reports are here australianpork.infoservices.com.au and you could contact them. They are the official research organisation for Australia's pork industry.

[@Kosky555]

what a pleasant place for them to roam around on :)

[@AnvilmediaAu]

Yep, that's the aim.

[@christiegurganus254]

Export it to me!!

[@AnvilmediaAu]

We just made the video. Not sure where they sell.

[@toliboayemi3887]

The woman in the video reminds of a movie Gladiator

[@AnvilmediaAu]

Imagination is a wonderful thing.

[@mantralandscapes4475]

Great video. Thought about putting in trees?

[@AnvilmediaAu]

thanks for you comment. This is not our farm; we only made the video. But... as with most farms, there are areas of trees and areas where they would present an obstruction and also deplete soil moisture for pasture. Whole farm planning achieves a sustainable balance. Can't speak for this farm, but there are trees evident in the video. Though not featured in the video, shelter for pigs is provided by hutches that you can see in one shot towards the end. The aim of this video was to see the pigs in the paddock, where they spend most of their time.

[@rkots2962]

I'm watching in 2020 during covid19 LOCKDOWN

[@AnvilmediaAu]

Glad we could keep you interested.

[@jasonvoorhees5180]

What breed are those ? I love their erect ears

[@AnvilmediaAu]

We're not sure of the breed. Our stylist spent a lot of time getting those ears to sit up just right.

[@khurmwe5579]

How to catch pigs?

[@AnvilmediaAu]

Put some salt on their tail.

[@Bernie5172]

ARE you still doing this? Or Has the drought got to you all?

[@AnvilmediaAu]

Hi, We understand the farm is still running.

[@stephenv3724]

Hi, are you able to share which company produces this product?

[@Darrylan]

Thanks for the question. There would be retail outlets where you can buy it, but we don't have that info. This video's a few years old now.

[@petrinaerskine1195]

So you say it's not your farm your just the production company that made the video, yet you are making out that you know all the answers to some of the peoples questions, This video is like watching an ad for a car company or bank, you end up not knowing anything much about anything, like, what state the farm is in, how big the land is etc, so really another feel good video of some farm with free range pigs, but is it really as your a production company and you could have paid someone money to use their land and had paid piggys to act out being being free range, and did the humans get paid more than the pigs or were they just unpaid extras, were females paid less than the males, were any pigs injured in making this ad and did they have a pig union rep acting on their behalf or were they all just piggys that were from a pig drama school happy to be outside for the day and not in an over crowded mass produced piggery, and tune in next week for Pigs In Space, hang on am I thinking of the muppet show. Haaaaa.

[@AnvilmediaAu]

We create videos about agriculture for organisations in that sector, because we have expertise in agriculture (as well as video production). There are a few people in the company with degree qualifications in agriculture, including the writer of this reply. So we're able to answer many viewers' questions, but unable to answer some about practices specific to this farm, usually because they weren't the subject of our conversations with the farmer. I suppose we could ring the farmer up and find out, but we're a bit busy right no - making more videos. We have this video on our KZbin channel to demonstrate our credentials as a video production company. No animals were harmed in the writing of this reply.

[@petrinaerskine1195]

Great your making videos but you should never be too busy to do the research on the farm your filming as you know we the people after watching it are going to have questions about it, remember it is we the people that can un watch your videos just as easy as your too busy to do the job properly, simply saying we're to busy is a modern day slack arsed reply to an over used term for can't be bothered. And as for saying no animals were hurt in making this video carries no weight, ''as your too busy'' so we can't believe anything you say has been as you say expertly researched because your all to busy to see what everyone is doing, bad public relations reply right there.

[@werty7169]

Do you have vacancy for farm helper? I want to work in the farm.

[@AnvilmediaAu]

The farm is not connected with this account. We're the video production company.

[@BrianBriCurInTheOC]

Since pigs have digestive system IDENTICAL to humans. Pigs and humans REQUIRE Protien, Fat and energy (starches/carbos). There is little to no available starches or charbos in pasture folate, So allowing hogs to eat pasture fill up their belly lowers the REQUIRED NUTRITION which can be consumed.

[@AnvilmediaAu]

Yes, the sections at about 0.37 and 1.14 show pretty clearly that there is supplementary feeding as part of the production system. Bottom line, if these pigs were really undernourished because they were filling up on grass, the farmer would quickly go broke. While similar, pigs and humans don't have IDENTICAL digestive systems. Importantly the pigs has a greater ability to digest fibre than humans. We're both mono gastric, so neither is as good at fibre digestion as ruminants like cattle and sheep, but the pig can extract more from fibre than humans.

[@BrianBriCurInTheOC]

Anvil Media Pty Ltd That is a hold face lie. Please state the anotomical and physiological mechanism which allows hogs to recieve Nutrition from forage. They are no different than human who can recieve vitimins & minerals but not Energy, fats or Protien. I have taken University Level Livestock Husbandry courses which clearly teach that there is no forage which provide fat, Protien or Energy (carbo/digestible starches) to hogs. There is plenty of documented peer reviewed published research which shows the higher the amount of fiber in swine rations, the slower the growing hogs grow.

[@AnvilmediaAu]

Thanks for your highly measured response. Perhaps try digesting this: bit.ly/2zzLYwX Even if pigs and humans had the same nutritional needs, their digestive systems aren't IDENTICAL, or even identical. For one, the pig's is horizontal. And the human large/lower intestine is positioned as a "frame" around the small intestine, whereas the pig's is kind of just in a bundle towards the rear. The component of pasture that's not digestible by humans is cellulose. In fact technically even ruminants don't digest that themselves, but the rumen flora (the microbes) do the job. We all get other carbs from leaves, though, such as sugar. You're entirely right that a pig getting filled up on grass will not do well. As to our "hold face lie", we can't imagine what that means but we're pretty sure we weren't guilt of any kind of lie. Hope your day improves.

[@rodrigoaguirre8168]

if you ask the store which farm did you guys get your meat they will tell I don't know. you that's all they say a

[@AnvilmediaAu]

It depends where you buy your meat, and whether farm of origin is part of what they offer. There's a cost to having that in place - it doesn't just happen magically; people and systems are required to make it happen - so you'll find you'll pay a little more where it's available. But do you always expect to be able to find the farm of origin for everything you eat? Broccoli, chicken, lamb, potatoes, wheat flour?

[@lr-hn2ow]

Howdy partners I’m watching this video on October 14, 2018 🤠

[@AnvilmediaAu]

Thanks for watching

[@AnvilmediaAu]

Hope you enjoyed it.

[@iloveyoulord4ever777]

Do you guys sell to any store in the Bay Area,California,USA ?

[@AnvilmediaAu]

This KZbin Channel belongs to the producer of the video, not the producer of the pigs! It is unlikely that they sell branded pork to the USA.

[@akhileshthapa_fishbro86]

👍

[@jaysalcedo7813]

Hi! what are the feeds of a weaning piglet? thanks

[@AnvilmediaAu]

Hi. Thanks for asking. We can't answer that question. We produced the video, but that question wasn't really part of the story, I'm afraid.

[@deepakbhandari352]

Nice Farms

[@AnvilmediaAu]

It certainly is.

[@bajisk9231]

nice farm

[@AnvilmediaAu]

That it is.

[@taliatehilahz7437]

How can I be happy as a pig if I know that the purpose is to eat me at the end 😀😀😀😂😀😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@AnvilmediaAu]

It's unlikely that they do know.

[@person44462]

good, but they deserve to live a full life

[@richiemen8947]

should we let them die then eat em

[@AnvilmediaAu]

OK, noted.

[@AnvilmediaAu]

I wouldn't have thought so.

[@AceofDlamonds]

Lmao, so let them die of old age or disease then eat em? 😀

[@AnvilmediaAu]

Apparently
