What pets are profitable to raise?

Raising and breeding animals can be a profitable business if you approach this business with intelligence and some knowledge. Of course, you need start-up capital and appropriate premises. Nowadays, a variety of species are bred. What kind of animals is profitable to breed for business? Consider in this article.

Business plan: pig farming

Livestock farming can become a profitable business, provided the right approach to its development. Most often, farmers resort to pig breeding. These pets gain weight well and are unpretentious in the feeding process. To start the breeding process correctly, you need to draw up a business plan. Pig breeding has several advantages:

• payback rate within 6 months;
• constant demand for meat;
• high ratio of meat production to feed consumed.

This type of animal husbandry is also used for breeding and marketing piglets. The method of making a profit is more cost-effective, but requires more investment of effort and knowledge.

The disadvantages include a large amount of physical labor costs. You will also have to invest money to equip the premises with mechanized equipment. Therefore, it is quite simple to answer the question of which animals are the most profitable to keep for a business. Having spacious premises and capital, it is better to get pigs. It is especially advantageous to independently process meat into stew or sausage if there are additional branches in the production area.

Rabbit Breeding Business Plan

The meat of these animals belongs to the category of dietary and is appreciated in the circle of gourmets and people who adhere to proper nutrition. This product is the first to be introduced into complementary foods for babies from all types of meat. It is more often used by allergy sufferers, since it practically does not cause negative reactions.

Breeding rabbits has its advantages:

• high fertility;
• good profitability - obtaining meat and skins;
• low labor costs;
• small amount of feed.

These points allow even novice farmers to engage in rabbit breeding. The only big drawback is the high incidence of diseases in animals at an early age. It is quite simple to deal with this problem - vaccination of young animals. This is the only way to protect rabbits from pestilence.

To accommodate 1,000 livestock, you need approximately 6 acres of land. On the site, it is necessary to build cages and bring water under the drinkers. Rabbits can be outdoors from April to October. In winter, the cells can be hidden under greenhouses. In this case, you need to take care of the lighting.

For larger scales, it is advisable to build sheds for animals during the cold season. Litter can also be used as fertilizer - humus. Thus, the net profit will increase by a sufficient percentage.

The customer base can be built up gradually. First, the products can be offered to relatives and friends. Then the customer base will grow with their feedback. You can also sell your products to restaurants and cafes.

Carcasses are often purchased by dealers. For the sale of meat, it is necessary to take care of a certificate from veterinarians about the suitability of meat and the health of live stock. A rabbit breeding business plan will help you calculate the investment and monthly costs of running your farm.

Growing turkeys

Bird breeding is very often used in the household.Also, this type of animal husbandry is popular among small and medium-sized farmers. Turkey meat is in good demand among the population, as well as in catering establishments.

Turkeys gain weight well with proper feeding and care. They grow to a fairly large size. One bird reaches a weight of 30 kg. The meat of this bird has practically no fat and contains a large amount of healthy proteins and amino acids.

Breeding turkeys should start with a business plan. It prescribes the main points of the organization of the farm:

• acquisition or lease of land;
• selection of the breed of birds for breeding;
• purchase of equipment;
• purchase and cultivation of feed;
• purchase of young animals;
• costs of veterinarian services;
• sales of products.

Turkeys are distinguished by good egg production. This is another point of business payback. Their droppings are also used as fertilizer. These birds are distinguished by good disease resistance. This argument is a huge plus for breeding undertakings. What kind of animals are profitable to breed for a small business? The answer is obvious - turkeys.

The first income from this business can already be received in 4-6 months. These birds are very demanding on the purity of the water in the drinking bowls, so breeding turkeys requires special attention in caring for them.

Raising chickens

The meat of these birds is the most demanded in the food market. Growing chicken as a business produces great results. You can choose several directions for the development of this business. Breeding broilers makes it possible to get a good weight gain and profit from the sale of meat in a short time.

You can buy chicken breeds that are lightweight, but give excellent egg production. Thus, the profit is obtained from the sale of eggs. Most often, farmers combine two types of business and breed several breeds of birds.

For growing meat breeds of chickens, the option with broilers is perfect. You can start a business by purchasing day-old chicks or eggs for an incubator. For those planning a long-term business, it is advisable to use the second option. In this case, you can sell excess chickens and increase your profit.

If the birds are raised for meat, then when buying chickens, you can ignore their gender. You just need to properly transport them to the farm. Often novice breeders suffer great losses at this stage of breeding.

Youngsters should be transported in small boxes with holes, each no more than 20-30 chickens. It is also necessary to take into account the air temperature outside. You cannot transport the bird during the daytime during the heat.

Features of broiler keeping

Raising chicks up to 1 month old requires special attention to the air temperature. It should be at least 24-260. Then 11-12 degrees will be enough. It is necessary to avoid drafts and provide good ventilation in the premises.

To protect chickens from attack by rats and other predators, finely broken glass is often laid out on the floor, which is covered with straw. Particular attention is paid to bird feed. Chickens eat according to a special diet and schedule.

Growing chicken as a business requires a different approach to feed preparation. This process uses cottage cheese, milk powder, vitamin supplements and various methods of preparing grain components. Many farmers, before starting a business plan, think about how much a broiler is growing. The answer is very simple. Already after 2-3 months, the bird gains 2-3 kg in weight.

Breeding of laying hens

To obtain the maximum number of eggs from this bird species requires a simple approach to growing them. For this type of business, special breeds of chickens are used. They gain insignificant weight, but are capable of laying up to 300 eggs per year.

According to experienced livestock breeders, this type of business will pay off 100% in 8-10 months. This is the answer to the question of which animals are the most profitable for the business.Caring for such breeds of chickens is simple and does not require large costs for feed and equipment. It is necessary to invest a one-time investment in organizing the premises and keeping it clean with periodic small contributions for current repairs.

Small farms cannot compete with large poultry farms, but you can get regular customers due to the naturalness of the product. This nuance is achieved by proper feeding of the poultry without the use of artificial additives and by preparing the feed on your own.

Rare animals: the nuances of breeding

Now among small and medium-sized farming, the cultivation of exotic individuals is gaining popularity. In the country you can find entrepreneurs who breed small crocodiles.

These animals are more often bought for presentations to heads of large companies and members of government bodies that have their own small zoos. To acquire the initial number of young animals, you will need about 50 thousand dollars. This amount includes the arrangement of pools for them and the purchase of feed for the first time.

Often this direction is used by large farms as an additional one. To save on feed, crocodiles are fed with waste from processing chickens or turkeys. The type of business is quite risky, but with the right approach, you can get a 300% return on investment.

Other directions

You can also find farms that raise snails and shellfish. Basically, these are small turnovers for breeding, which are guided by the work of restaurants or sell products to large supermarket chains.

Farms for breeding ostriches and chinchillas will surprise no one in our country. This type of business has been entrenched for several decades. They are actively starting to grow fish for red meat throughout the country. This direction requires initially a significant investment. Breeding rare animals as a business is gaining momentum every year in all regions of the country.

Livestock profitability

According to experts, the most profitable direction is the breeding of chickens to obtain both eggs and meat. For a small home business, it is more profitable to keep pigs for sale by live weight or meat. Farmers often wonder what kind of animals it is profitable to breed for business. The answer to this question depends on the region in which the animals will be kept and the amount of starting capital.

Breeding poultry does not require large investments for the construction of premises, but there will be significant costs for the purchase of young animals. Raising pigs requires the presence of labor and mechanized equipment.

What kind of animals is profitable to breed for business - only a farmer can decide. This will depend on the area of ​​land and premises and the ability to grow food on your own.

Sooner or later, there comes a moment X, at which a person begins to think, and what next. It is not so important whether he came to this idea himself or under the influence of external factors (job loss, low salary, job dissatisfaction). One of the options for what to do next is the answer - do business, but how?

There are not so many options for starting a business from scratch, within the framework of this article we will analyze one of the most effective ways (from my subjective point of view) to find an idea in a village business.

For the sake of fairness, I can say that I myself am now organizing such a project of village business, I think in the near future I will describe the directions that I have mastered, do not forget to subscribe to the blog. I personally believe that this is the best way to create your own business with a perspective for the future.

Within the framework of this block, we will talk about breeding, that is, animal husbandry. There is a misconception that you can start breeding any animal from scratch and immediately get big profits.

To be honest, in reality you can really breed anything, even hippos (they are bred in the zoo), but in practice, not all types of such cultivation are profitable, and even more so will give a return in a relatively short period (a year or two).

 

Breeding as a village business from scratch

*

The first place is predictably occupied by pig breeding. Alas, on the territory of Russia there is no more profitable livestock sector for a small business in a village. Of course, it will seem trivial, but to open a profitable village business, it makes sense to go into pig farming. It is worth noting that there are two directions (although they can be combined): growing for meat and selling piglets. It is the sale of piglets that is an order of magnitude more profitable, but also a more labor-intensive direction.

pros

• - high payback rate. The normal growth period of a pig to marketable weight is 6 months.
• - the highest coefficient of meat yield per square meter of area in relation to feed consumption (with normal technology). Above only when breeding rabbits, but they have a whole bunch of their own nuances.
• - stable demand for products

Minuses

• - a high level of manual labor or the need for investment in mechanization
• - the need for initial investment in the construction of premises
• - high feed costs, without the possibility of diversification

The second place is occupied by nutria. By most indicators, growing nutria can be considered one of the most attractive for starting your village business from scratch. It is possible to make cages and corrals for them from scrap materials, animals tolerate cold well, relatively fast growth, strong immunity, the presence of both meat (dietary) and skins. Practical experience shows that a nutria family (3 females and a male) in one year (with offspring) fully pays for the construction of paddocks, feed and even gives a profit.

pros

• - high meat yield per square meter of area
• - consume feed that can be grown on their own, which makes the maintenance very cheap
• - do not get very sick (in relation to rabbits, they are just lively)
• - not high costs for the premises

Minuses

• - rather unstable demand for meat. Not everyone is ready to buy nutria meat

The third place is ducks. Growing ducks as a business in a village has only one big advantage, if you start from scratch, they will help you make quick money, maybe not very much, but a profitability level of 30-40% in 2.5-3 months can be guaranteed.

pros

• - high turnover rate. Ducks grow very quickly, with a good breeding, they reach marketable weight in 3 months.
• - stable and good demand

Minuses

• - high feed costs, to ensure high profitability, you can use various tricks, such as adding green mass, sand, and so on to the feed.

The fourth place is beekeeping. In terms of profitability, it is one of the most profitable business ideas in the village, but in terms of the level of headaches and nuances in keeping bees, it is also in the first place. In fact, breeding bees is quite troublesome, here it is also important to have "flowering" fields, large farms in the district (at friends last year, after being treated with herbicides, half of the bees fell), care (so that the swarm does not fly away), wintering (feeding), and so on. Further. Breeding experience has shown that there are both very successful seasons and completely failed ones, it all depends on the owner and approach.

pros

• - high profitability
• - the ability to run the entire business yourself

Minuses

• - a wide variety of conditions for the success of the season

Fifth place - quail breeding. The main advantage of this idea of ​​a village business is the minimum requirements, both in terms of area and the level of investment of money.Actually, you can successfully breed quails in a room with an area of ​​20-30 squares for 500-700 pieces, getting 150-200 eggs and 2-3 kilograms of meat (in carcasses) every day.

pros

• - high turnover rate. Quails quickly reach marketable condition, both in live weight and in egg-laying
• - small start-up costs
• - stable demand for products

Minuses

• - high feed costs
• - the need to create special conditions (maintaining temperature, silence)

Taxation

Working in agriculture, you should know that there is one big and pleasant surprise, in fact, for a mini-business in the village, the most preferential system has been established in which there will be no need to pay taxes, and quite officially.

In the legislation there is such a concept as private household plots (personal subsidiary plots), which allows everyone working on this system to work officially, without paying taxes. We talked about private household plots. Now I will just remind you that all the listed ideas fall under the law on subsidiary farming and you can sleep peacefully.

 

Myths of some popular business ideas

*

I must say right away that other ideas in the field of animal husbandry are also profitable and profitable, but in terms of the rate of return and ease of doing business, they are much inferior to those listed above. And now about the cons of the advertised ideas:

Cattle (cattle) - for a successful business in this branch of agriculture, large areas are needed (for pastures), plus premises and time. As an example, a bull for meat is raised for at least a year, with a carcass yield of 45%, and a pig grows for 6 months and an output of about 70%. As for the dairy direction, from the moment of birth to the moment of receiving milk, the cow grows for 2 years! And it is far from the fact that it will be dairy. Profitable, but very long.

Ostriches - high costs are needed for the arrangement of corrals, plus large areas. So for one family of ostriches (1 male and 2 females), the corral should be at least 4 meters wide and 40 meters long. As for ostrich meat, the ostrich grows for at least a year, again it is profitable, but you can make money faster.

Chinchillas - the problem is in the sale of products, if it is possible to independently select the skins and make fur coats, then the business will be just golden, if not, then it is necessary to very carefully calculate the maintenance costs. The main problem is high feeding costs.

Sheep, goats - the problem is in large areas for grazing animals, if there are pastures, then you can try to engage in business, but it is worth remembering that in most regions of Russia this type of meat is not very popular, which reduces their attractiveness for the market. It is from the point of view of attractiveness that pig breeding looks more promising.

Rabbit breeding - in all respects, a very good business, but the rabbits themselves are very flimsy animals, if an epidemic begins, then the death can be 90%. To organize an effective rural business, it is necessary to organize the closure of sheds with a strict quarantine system. Such premises cost money and are not suitable for all aspiring entrepreneurs.

Features of earning on raising and breeding animals

Before we list what kind of animals you can breed at home for business, let's look at the peculiarities of earning money on raising livestock:

1. A novice livestock breeder must love animals, know the basics of veterinary science in order to understand what happens to the livestock, how to treat it, how to feed it and how to provide them with favorable conditions for life;
2. You will need a special permit from the local authorities to keep animals. To do this, you will have to contact local governments with a business plan for a future entrepreneurial business. If you want to make money on fur farming, then before deciding which animals are profitable to breed, study the legislative framework for this side of the issue;
3. Choose young and healthy animals that you decide to breed. In order not to waste money, it is recommended to immediately contact the professionals who, by their appearance, will be able to quickly determine whether the animal is healthy in his hands or not;
4. It is advisable to purchase animals for breeding on the farm. In such institutions, you will be given all the necessary documents for each individual;
5. Make sure that the place where the animals will live meets their needs. They must have open access to fresh air, daylight. They also need to build not only cages and stalls, but also a place to walk. Please note that the livestock habitat needs heating during the cold season;
6. Once you have decided which animal business is profitable, think about where you will sell them and the products that you can get from them, in order to avoid the many problems that may arise as a result.

This issue must be taken as seriously as the study of what kind of domestic animals are raised in our area;
8. Please note that in addition to animals, you will also need to purchase special equipment that will make life easier for you and your staff. For example, it can be automatic drinkers, milking machines.

The advantages and disadvantages of such a business

A novice entrepreneur who decides to connect his life with farming activities needs to know not only which pets are profitable to breed, but also what are the advantages and disadvantages of this business:

The main positive aspects of animal husbandry in the village include:

• The ability to work constantly in the fresh air, and this is not only a great benefit for human health, but also an increase in efficiency;
• Family members of the breeder and his entire family get an automatic opportunity to eat organic products;
• Livestock raising is a unique chance to run a family business that can be inherited by children and grandchildren. Each family member can perform a certain amount of work on your farm, and this is not only beneficial (everyone will work), but also efficiently - you do not have to worry about the quality of the work performed by your employees;
• Each entrepreneur can independently decide which animals can be bred at home, taking into account their financial capabilities;
• When registering a business related to farming activities, the tax office always provides registration benefits.If you have a small farm, then you generally do not have to register your business and pay taxes. This fact sometimes plays a decisive role in choosing which animals are best to breed at home;
• Very often, farmers are given the opportunity to participate in government programs to support animal husbandry. This will allow you to save a lot of personal money and at the same time improve your home farm.

Now let's figure out the cons, which you should definitely find out about before deciding which animals are profitable to breed in the village:

• Livestock farming is an area of ​​entrepreneurial activity that requires very large investments to start, because you need to buy not only animals and equipment for work, 50% of the cost is the purchase of feed for livestock, which should be nutritious and rich in vitamins and minerals;
• In the first six months or even a year, the livestock business does not bring any income to the entrepreneur. There will be only one expense. Therefore, if you are thinking about what kind of animals it is profitable to breed for sale, stock up on funds for the first time so that you and your family can live peacefully without needs;
• Losses can occur quite by accident due to some natural features. It can be both climatic conditions and harmful insects, which always negatively affect the health of animals. Therefore, before doing this business, carefully study what kind of animals are raised in Russia, taking into account the climatic features of this country and the region in which you want to raise livestock;
• A person who is engaged in animal husbandry cannot have weekends and vacations. He needs to be on the farm from early morning until late at night to take care of the animals and monitor their welfare;
• Very often the livestock breeder makes a profit only at certain times of the year, for example, in summer and spring. The rest of the time he only has to spend money. So that there is no need to go into debt and need something, you need to learn how to properly manage the earned funds so that there is enough of them for everything. Be sure to study what kind of animals are bred in Russia in order to receive year-round profits;
• Banks are constantly refusing to lend to farms because this type of business is one of the most risky. Therefore, do not waste time trying to get money from a public or private financial institution, but learn how to properly plan your budget on your own;
• Selling animals or products derived from them is very difficult. Dealers do not agree to prices that are favorable to farmers, and often it is necessary to sell meat and other food for almost nothing.

Knowing all these features, each person can seriously engage in animal husbandry, and in the future become a successful and wealthy person.

What kind of animals are profitable to breed?

We have studied in detail what kind of animals are raised in our area, and have compiled a rating that you can use when deciding which pets are profitable to breed for business:

Birds

Raising chickens (geese and ducks can also be successfully bred according to the same principle). This type of farming is very profitable. To keep such birds, you just need:

1. Build a chicken coop (it can be made of anything, just to keep the birds warm and comfortable);
2. Buy chickens (among them there should be future layers and roosters, so that the farmer has the opportunity to sell eggs and expand the farm);
3. Bird food (these should be cereals, but you can also feed them table scraps and grass).

Rabbits

In order to breed them, you must:

1. Buy two rabbits and one rabbit, which breed well in a short period of time;
2. Build spacious wooden cages for rabbits, equip them with feeders and drinkers;
3. Buy dry rabbit food and hay (you don't have to buy it in summer, as rabbits eat ordinary grass well).

Alternatively, you can also additionally breed decorative rabbits. Such animals are in great demand among city dwellers. Decorative rabbits are brought up in an apartment or a private house as a pet.

Goats

Goat breeding as a business is a great option for those who have never dealt with livestock breeding in their life. These are the animals that, in general, are not picky about their care. They can eat ordinary grass and vegetable scraps. Sometimes, of course, they need to add grain feed to their diet so that not only fat builds up, but also meat that tastes like lamb meat.

Pigs

Better to buy some small piglets and try raising them for meat first. Although there should be a sow too, so that the farmer has the opportunity to sell meat, but also to be able to engage in pig breeding. After all, pork is a meat that is in great demand among the common population, the same applies to lard.

Cows

You can keep cows to sell milk and dairy products, but raising gobies for meat as a business is much more profitable, so do not forget to purchase several males. Beef is also in great demand among people.

How can you make money from raising animals?

Now let's take a closer look at which pets are profitable to breed for sale, and which ones in order to sell the food they produce:

If you decide to raise cows, then know that they live for about 25-30 years. One adult cow will cost you 50,000 rubles. In order for the barn to bring a good profit, you need to immediately buy at least 5 cows and 10 bulls. This will take you at least 250,000 rubles. For this number of animals, you need to build a spacious cowshed. It will cost 150 - 300 thousand rubles. You will immediately need food for 15 individuals. This will take at least 70,000 rubles. If you take care of so many artiodactyls, then you can earn in this way:

• Selling meat - 180-200 rubles for 1 kg (you can sell 300 kg of meat a month);
• Selling milk - for 1 liter - 20 rubles (3 tons of milk can be sold per month);
• Your monthly income will be approximately 300,000 rubles.

If you find it difficult to decide which animals to raise on the farm, buy 100 goats for 20,000 rubles (this is their approximate market price). The construction of a pen and the purchase of feed for the goat herd will require as much money as for the cows. As for income, you will receive it if you sell:

• Milk (for 1 liter of goat milk you can get 30–40 rubles);
• Wool (choose those goat breeds from which you can get cashmere);
• Meat is sold at the same price as pork (there may be a difference of 200 - 300 rubles in favor of pork).

Breeding goats can earn about 300 - 350,000 rubles a month.

We will give you one more recommendation on what kind of farm animals it is profitable to breed. It is very profitable to buy sheep. They live on average 25 years. One individual costs 3,500–5,000 rubles. To make a quick profit, you need to buy 1000 sheep right away. Provide animals with a spacious enclosure and quality food. Sheep eat grass, hay and compound feed. On these animals, you can earn in this way:

• On the sale of meat a year you can earn 500,000 rubles (1 kg is sold at a price of 100 rubles);
• For the sale of wool (including sushka and sheepskin) - 100,000 rubles;
• For the sale of dairy products - 200,000 rubles;
• For the sale of the sheep themselves - 500,000 rubles.

Another lucrative option for what kind of animals to breed for business is raising pigs. They live 25 years. One individual costs 3500-5000 rubles. Immediately you need to buy about 15 individuals, among which there should be a sow that will bring you offspring.If you organize everything correctly, although this is a rather laborious work, then you can earn decent money:

• On the sale of meat, almost 2,000,000 rubles (if from a litter per year, which will be 60 piglets, you will be able to sell meat at 200 rubles per 1 kg);
• The sale of lard is almost 1 million rubles a year.

Considering that a lot of money is spent on the maintenance of pigs, the net income from pig breeding will amount to 2 million rubles a year.

Business profitability

As we mentioned above, every entrepreneur who decides to start farming will be able to return the investment only in a couple of years. Although there are cases when it turned out to be profitable in a shorter period of time. In general, it should be noted that the profitability of animal husbandry determines the cost of feed. If, from this point of view, you are considering options for which animals are more profitable to raise, then pigs are definitely not suitable for you, because they are expensive to maintain. It is best to breed rabbits or chickens in this case.

When choosing livestock for breeding, do not be guided by the "which is cheaper" principle. Choose those individuals for whom you will not have feelings of disgust. You will need to love and take care of your work and your future farm.

Conclusions and advice

In this article, we examined in detail what kind of pets are raised in Russia in order to build a profitable and successful business on this. Whichever option you choose from those listed by us, you need to clearly understand that animals are creatures that need to be looked after. They need to give all their time and energy. In fact, you will have to devote your whole life to the farm, improving it. This business must be approached not only responsibly, but also with love.

We also note that animal husbandry is an area for entrepreneurial activity, in which there is practically no competition, it has not yet been fully mastered by humans. You will have an opportunity for growth and development. In the future, if the business is going well, you can open several farms, hire people who will do all the dirty work for you. The main thing in this business is not to stop and work hard to achieve success. There is no place for lazy people in the livestock business, this is a sphere for people who are ready to sacrifice their time, personal benefits for the sake of animals.

If you do not have your own feed production, then raising and keeping animals is quite affordable. What kind of living creatures can be bred sparingly and at no extra cost?

goose

- the bird is profitable. In just 60 days, the weight of the gosling reaches 4 kg. Goose will bring you not only organic meat and delicious large liver, but also fresh eggs and feathers with down.

Virtually waste-free product. The main diet for geese is pasture grass, which perfectly reduces the consumption of concentrated feed, which is now quite expensive. Geese can enjoy scraps from your table, vegetables from the garden and fruits, berries from the garden. A goose with its offspring will give you an average of 60 kg of cheap meat by autumn. The main rule in keeping geese is to organize a large walking area for them.

A rabbit can also become an excellent cheap animal in your yard. The main diet of which is also free grass, hay, various branches of trees and bushes. Treat your pets to vegetables and fruits. They are very fond of carrots, beets, cabbage, pumpkin, zucchini, cucumbers, corn, melon and watermelon, as well as apples, pears, apricots and even berries. Also gradually teach to eat waste from the table - vegetable trimmings, crackers and biscuits, cereals. Following these rules, you will get excellent dietary, natural and beneficial meat.

If you have a place to walk, then chickens will also become a very profitable and unpretentious bird for you. They will be busy all day plucking grass and picking up worms and other insects.Chickens eat absolutely everything - vegetables, fruits, table scraps. If you haven't finished eating porridge or soup, please your chickens with such a delicacy and your grain consumption will significantly decrease.

Another great option would be to get a Vietnamese pig. He will be curious to run around your garden and eat all the carrion that falls from the trees. Also, these pigs graze well on green grass, and in winter they even enjoy hay with pleasure. In the summer, returning from the next weeding of your garden, do not forget to treat the beggar with just plucked weed. And your cute pig will absolutely love vegetables and kitchen waste. Get yourself a separate large saucepan, where you pour out everything that you haven't eaten, add a handful of ground grain there and boil a little - a delicious soup for your pig is ready. Do not forget to treat your other pets with the same delicacy.
