4. Lack of Health Management Practices

• Unsuccessful pig farmers often fail to implement proper vaccination schedules, deworming, or health checks. This oversight leads to increased illness, lower growth rates, and higher medical costs due to preventable diseases.

5. Overcrowding Pens

• Overpopulating pig pens without providing enough space for each pig to move and grow comfortably leads to stress, injury, and poor growth. Successful farmers prioritize proper space allocation for their pigs.

6. Inadequate Waste Management

• Poor waste management is a common problem among unsuccessful pig farmers. When waste is not properly disposed of or managed, it leads to environmental contamination, health risks, and possible legal issues.

7. Lack of Record-Keeping

• Failing to track expenses, growth rates, feed consumption, and other key data is a major issue for unsuccessful pig farmers. Without good record-keeping, it becomes difficult to make informed decisions about improving production efficiency.

8. Resistance to Learning and Innovation

• Unsuccessful farmers often resist adopting new methods, technologies, or strategies for improving pig farming. They are stuck in outdated practices, which prevents them from improving productivity and responding to market demands effectively.

These habits result in poor animal health, inefficiency, and financial losses, preventing pig farmers from scaling and succeeding in the industry.
