Designing pasture subdivisions for practical management of hogs

Summary

First, the rotation approach to pig grazing is described. Then all assumptions and goals of this method are detailed: soil protection, quality of forage, stocking rate, rotational management, logistic aspects, time of return between two groups, etc.
Finally, several examples of design are presented for different kind of animals; breeding sows, gestating sows, from growing to finishing pigs. This will help breeders or advisors to choose which system is well-adapted and how this should be implemented.
This tool is relevant to all farmers who hope to better manage their pig grazing system and is not location specific.
