Abstract
An olive-based dietary method for pigs, according to which pigs, from the sixth to the twelfth month of life, feed on specific quantities of ground plant products every day, such as barley, corn, bran and rice flour, to which olives are added by a percentage that makes up 20% to 30% of the overall quantity of their daily food intake. The aforementioned dietary method results in the balanced growth of pigs, whose meat has substantially lower levels of saturated fats, while at the same time being rich in poly-unsaturated fatty acids, such as linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3 and omega-6), which have been proven to benefit the human body as an antidote against the increase of cholesterol.
Description
OLIVE-BASED DIETARY METHOD FOR PIGS
DESCRIPTION
Technical Field
This invention involves a dietary method for pigs, and in particular the black pig, which is an indigenous Greek breed. The distinguishing feature of this method is that it is largely based on the daily intake of a substantial quantity of olives, combined with the creation of the most natural possible living conditions for the animals.
Technological Background
To date, there is no similar dietary method for black pigs and/or pigs in general. In particular, pigs (black or common) are usually fed in large facilities (hog lots) in which they barely move, thus resulting in rapid weight gain and average quality meat with high levels of intramuscular fat. Moreover, the gathering of large numbers of pigs in closed spaces, where oftentimes there is a total lack of even the most basic animal welfare standards, causes them stress, among other things, as they are completely outside their natural environment, and this also affects the quality of their meat.
All the above characteristics negatively impact the flavour of the meat, given that all pigs are monogastric animals, and as a result their diet directly affects the flavour of their meat.
The aforementioned problems triggered my efforts to find a solution and this invention is the result of these efforts.
The proposed dietary method, combined with the natural way of life of pigs, results in pigs developing normally and having low levels of intramuscular fat, thus also leading to reduced levels of saturated fatty acids, such as for example stearic or palmitic acids, while at the same time leading to a spectacular increase in their levels of poly-unsaturated fatty acids, such as linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3 and omega-6), which are known to function positively as an antidote against the increase of cholesterol. Also, the flavour of the meat is incomparably richer and more aromatic than that of
other animals of the same breed that have not however followed this particular diet.
Disclosure of the Invention
The invented dietary method is applied to black pigs that have entered their sixth month of life and live in a fenced pasture, up until their twelfth month of life, at which age they are usually slaughtered. In particular, the following quantities of fodder are provided:
From the sixth to the eighth month of life, pigs feed on 2,500 grams of ground fodder per day, which consists of one thousand (1000) grams of barley, five hundred (500) grams of corn, three hundred (300) grams of bran, two hundred (200) grams of rice flour and five hundred (500) grams of olives (pitted).
From the eighth to the tenth month of life, pigs feed on 3,000 grams of ground fodder per day, which consists of one thousand one hundred (1100) grams of barley, six hundred (600) grams of corn, four hundred (400) grams of bran, three hundred (300) grams of rice flour and six hundred (600) grams of olives.
From the tenth to the twelfth month of life, pigs feed on 3,500 grams of ground fodder per day, which consists of one thousand one hundred ( 00) grams of barley, six hundred (600) grams of corn, five hundred (500) grams of bran, four hundred (400) grams of rice flour and nine hundred (900) grams of olives.
The individual quantities of the above food products can deviate from the set quantities by -20% to +20%, on condition that, on the one hand the overall daily food quantity is not exceeded and, on the other hand, the daily quantity of olives steadily ranges between 20% and 30% of the overall quantity of fodder provided per day.
The above-described dietary choice combined with the fact that the pigs live in a fenced pasture where they move on a daily basis, covering three to four kilometres, thus burning intramuscular fat, results in the pigs having normal weight and balanced growth, and their meat having substantially lower levels of saturated fats, while at the same time being rich in poly-unsaturated fatty acids,
such as linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3 and omega-6), which have been proven to benefit the human body as an antidote against the increase of cholesterol.
It should be noted that the above dietary method, as regards the individual quantities of food products, is indicative; similar results can be achieved if pigs are fed plant products on a daily basis, on condition that 20% to
