Potty Trained Pigs To Combat Pollution

A farmer in Taiwan has begun potty training his pigs in order to reduce water pollution and cut down on the foul stink of pig shit.

Chang Chung-tou, owner of Shantung Animal Husbandry Farm in Yunlin county started potty training his piglets after numerous complaints about the stench coming from his farm, and fines for polluting nearby waterways with his animal’s faeces.

“For every 40 pigs, I have set up a 4×6 metre specialized area as a toilet, and have built close to 600 such toilets on our farm,” Chang explained.

“Not only are 95 per cent of our pigs able to go to toilet by themselves, but the faeces they produce can also be used for manufacturing into fertilizer,” the pig farmer continued.

Chang explained that he encouraged the pigs to defecate in certain areas by smearing their piss and excrement on the sides of the potties he has provided. Possibly by hand.

Once the pigs are trained to do their business in the correct piggy-poo areas, Chang simply sucks the shite up with a vacuum and lets the urine seep away through holes in the floor of the potty pens.

“As pigs like clean environment, they tend to go to the toilets for elimination, and the fecal matter is then vacuumed by a special machine designed to suck the waste,” Chang said.

Thanks to Chang the Taiwanese government are now going to begin making all pig farmers in the country toilet train their piggies.
