Pig Farm Photograph Gallery

This pig farm is a low tech pig farm, every things have to be done manual. The farm is extremely filthy and smelly. The floor is also very slippery and is rather warm in there. The last pig was sold by 1989 and the pig farm was closed down. I hardly enter into the pig farm except for the pig feed process store room which I would play game with my cousins. The feed process machine was be shown in the Remaining Photograph Gallery.

Some of the photographs of the farm taken by the staff of  National Archives of Singapore (NAS), and these Photographs are hyperlink from the http://nas.nhb.gov.sg/picas/.Website. Photographs dated at this web-site is 01-01-1986. 

The left most of the pig shed is the pig feed process shed which is also a store room for the unprocessed feed which are stack up to a high level. My cousins and I  like to play around on the stack feed. We jump from one stack of feed to another. We also have competition on who can jump the furthest and fastest. Two different types of pig feeds are mix together and the mixed feed are move to another storeroom beside the process shed.	Click here for photograph at the National Archives of Singapore Website

This is the Tower at the pig shed. My father said that this tower is used as a "scared crow" so that stranger would not dare to steal fish from the pond. Anyway the stairs up to this tower is badly built, it did not have a railing so climbing up the flight of stair need great skill. The family member hardly go up this tower. (Photograph taken in 1989)
This is the view of the pig shed roof from the tower. (Photograph taken in 1983)
The corridor of the pig shed is very mess and slippery so I have to be careful when I am walking. (Photograph taken in 1989)
This is the nursery area, the piglets is keep in the pig sty on the right of the photography once they are able to eat solid food. The trolley with feed is shown in the left of the photo beside the man who is my uncle. My uncle is feeding the pigs in this photograph. My cousin and I once climb into this pig sty and try to catch the piglets but once we enter the sty, the piglets quick move to one corner which is full of solid waste, we dare not move in. In the end, we did not catch any piglets. (Photograph taken in 1983)
The pig sty is extremely dirty, the smell is beyond description.	Click here for photograph at the National Archives of Singapore Website

These are the full-grown pig. The buyer of the pig would enter the pig sty and he would chose the good pig and put the pig into a cage with the help of his assistant and our family member. The pig is then weight and the cage is then put onto the lorry, the pig would be taken out of the cage. The lorry can taken up to a maximum of about ten pigs. (Photograph taken in 1983)
