Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This Guide is a definitive, systems-based manual for anyone serious about raising Kunekune pigs responsibly and successfully over the long term.Unlike most pig-keeping books that adapt industrial methods to smaller scales, this guide begins from a different premise: Kunekune pigs are not miniature commercial pigs. They are a distinct breed with unique metabolic, behavioral, and ecological characteristics that demand their own approach. When those characteristics are respected, Kunekune pigs become some of the most reliable, resilient, and humane livestock animals available. When they are ignored, problems accumulate quietly-obesity, fertility decline, pasture damage, health issues, and shortened lifespan.This book replaces assumption with understanding. Written as a full reference rather than a quick-start manual, it integrates breed history, behavior, land assessment, pasture-based nutrition, breeding ethics, preventive health, and humane decision-making into a single, coherent framework. Each chapter explains not only what to do, but why it works-allowing readers to adapt principles to their own land, climate, and goals rather than copying rigid formulas that fail outside ideal conditions.You will learn how to: Design pasture and housing systems that work with Kunekune behaviorFeed primarily from forage without compromising health or conditionPrevent obesity while supporting fertility and longevityBuild breeding programs that protect genetic diversityManage health through observation and environment rather than constant interventionMake clear, humane decisions throughout the pig's full lifespanEthics and sustainability are not treated as add-ons. They are the organizing principles of the entire book. Kunekune pigs are intelligent, social, and long-lived, and this guide confronts that reality honestly-addressing emotional attachment, end-of-life responsibility, and the difference between kindness and prolonging suffering.This book is ideal for: Small-scale farmers and homesteadersPasture-based and regenerative producersConservation and heritage breed breedersEducators and land stewardsAnyone seeking a low-input, welfare-centered pig system This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
