Hello*(^o^)/*This is Ueno from Sakanoue Farm.

I would like to briefly introduce my work.

My job is ``fattening,'' which is the anchor of the pig relay that starts with insemination.

Unlike other departments, we have a large number of pigs (approximately 13,000) and a large number of pig pens, so the managers are professionals who patrol throughout the day and treat any sick pigs.

Pigs are sensitive animals, so creating an environment where they can live comfortably is of utmost importance.

Shipping takes place five days a week, Sunday through Thursday, and approximately 3,600 to 4,000 pigs are shipped each month. This is the first thing to do in the morning.

Shipping is especially hard work, and the pigs are forced to ride onto the truck using a plastic board about the size of a tatami mat.
Although they weigh over 110 kg, they are fast, so they require physical strength, reflexes, and teamwork to master the board.

The more I do each task, the more I think about various things, and I think it's profound.

It's physically demanding and it's difficult to set up the pigpen environment, but it's rewarding and I think I like fattening work (^ω^)
