3. Efficient Housing and Ventilation: Design pig housing to optimize natural ventilation and lighting. Proper ventilation reduces humidity, ammonia levels, and airborne pathogens, leading to healthier pigs and lower veterinary costs. Utilize energy-efficient lighting solutions to reduce electricity expenses.

4. Explore Bulk Purchasing and Negotiate Prices: Purchase pig feed, medications, bedding materials, and equipment in bulk to benefit from volume discounts. Negotiate prices with suppliers and consider alternative suppliers to ensure competitive pricing for essential inputs.

5. Maximize Use of Manure: Implement a manure management plan to maximize the use of pig manure as fertilizer for crops or as a source of biogas for energy. Proper handling and utilization of manure can reduce the need for commercial fertilizers and energy sources, cutting down on operational costs.
