(Baonghean.vn) - Free-range pig farming is a long-standing practice among ethnic minorities in Western Nghe An. Based on natural food sources, this form of farming helps people have a source of clean and delicious food.
 |
Going to the villages in Western Nghe An, we can easily see herds of pigs leisurely foraging along the roads, in the villages or at the edges of the forests. |
 |
On hot days, pigs also "hide" in the mud to cool off. |
 |
There are families that raise dozens, even hundreds of free-range pigs, bringing in a significant source of income. |
 |
Pigs that are naughty or enter houses looking for food are often put "shackles" around their necks by their owners to limit their movement in narrow spaces. |
 |
Pigs are mainly raised free-range so the barns are built quite roughly. |
 |
Pig feed troughs are also simply made. |
 |
Free-range pig farming is not as effective as confinement farming, but it is a unique feature of the highlands. |
