10. Animal Integration

Animal Integration is the key to optimizing the natural farm.

10. Animal Integration as fertilizer sources as well as food production - Livestock properly managed will bring the tropical farmer higher profits than some market vegetables and most grains. Crop residues fed to goats, pigs and even chickens will reduce feed cost and animal manures will reduce fertilizer costs. We cut and carry some feed stock fresh while some confined grazing/browsing is practiced. The concentrated grains are fermented with beneficial microbes to increase feed conversion and act as a probiotic, eliminating all medications. The cost of the EM is far less than antibiotics and vitamin shots. We also use sawdust beddings to minimize stress and allow natural rooting or scratching instincts that can’t be practiced on cement.

Saw dust bedding with EM
Pathogens are minimized, no antibiotics or vitimin shots are needed. All natural organic pig tasks just like wild boar!

Off to Market
Raised on fermented grains and crop residue, these hogs got up to 100 kilos in 4.5 months fattening.

Good water
3 point application with EM. In the feeds, water and bedding keeps out the pathogens.

Lean
high quality ribs, hams and bacon with no fishy smells from fish meal or other strange commercial ingredients.

Constant monitoring
Keep an eye on your workers and assure the quality of your feed mix.
