A swine breeder in south-west Taiwan has introduced potty-training at his farm to save water and reduce pollution, he said Monday. "Not only 95 per cent of our pigs are able to go to toilet by themselves, but the feces they produce can also be used for manufacturing into fertilizer," said Chang Chung-tou, owner of Shantung Animal Husbandry Farm in Yunlin county.
This also leads to healthier pigs, apparently.
