Farming Simulator 25 Make Money With Pigs

Farming Simulator 25 lets you make money in many ways, and raising livestock is great. They can be sold as animals and help you grow crops. The best example is pigs – as they are also a great source of natural fertilizer. This article will examine raising pigs, what you need to do and have, and the best pig money-making techniques.

Stables

To raise pigs, you will need to start with their stables. Here are the options you can choose to grow pigs on FS25:

• Pasture. Holding up to 30 animals, it’s a good option to breed more pigs.
• Barn. With a maximum capacity of 108 animals, it’s a good option for producing slurry and manure.
• Large barn. This is the biggest and the most efficient option, with a maximum capacity of up to 270 pigs. It works best if you have a large farm with a big demand for fertilizer.

Once the stables are purchased and fully functional, it is important to deal with possible maintenance challenges. Of course, you must feed the pigs and ensure they have a stable water supply. Your feed capacity will be 9,500 liters, and the water capacity will be 3,000 liters.

The barns all have silos. You can hold up to 34 cubic meters (34,000 liters) of feed in the regular barn. You can also sprinkle up to 15 cubic meters of straw, which is required to make manure. And, just like in the previous game, the manure storage tank is no longer conveniently unlimited. Now, the manure tank has a maximum capacity of 51,300 liters.

The large barn, of course, is bigger than the regular barn in all circumstances. You will be able to have 85 cubic meters (85,000 liters) of feed and 45 cubic meters (45,000 liters) of straw, and your manure tank will hold up to 128,250 liters.

Purchasing pigs on FS25

On FS25, you can purchase pigs from your local friendly neighborhood animal dealer. Just make sure to have a truck suitable for caring for animals. But if not, you will simply be charged an additional delivery fee.

Here are the pigs you can buy on Farming Simulator 25:

• Bentheim pig (0 months old) – 200
• Bentheim pig (6 months old) – 416
• German noble pig (0 months old) – 200
• German noble pig (6 months old) – 416
• Berkshire pig (0 months old) – 200
• Berkshire pig (6 months old) – 416

Caring for pigs

You must ensure the pigs are cared for properly if you want the best possible profits. This starts with feeding and a correct mixing ratio. Luckily, pigs on FS25 eat pretty much anything you can grow. This includes barley, wheat, rapeseed, soybean, maize, sunflowers, potatoes, sorghum, and sugar beets.

What’s the best mix for pigs to get the best results on FS25? Here are the best options to choose if you want your feeding to work the best:

• Corn and sorghum: 50% effectiveness
• Wheat and barley: 25% effectiveness
• Soybeans, rapeseed, and sunflower: 20% effectiveness
• Potatoes and sugar beets: 5% effectiveness

If you don’t have the best crops available at some point, you can also simply purchase the feed. The dealer will charge extra, but it might be worth it for convenience. 1,000 liters will cost you 1,000.

What to use the pigs for?

Pigs on Farming Simulator 25 can be useful in many different ways. After they give birth to more piglets, you can sell them to the animal dealer or keep growing your group and use them to get more slurry and manure for your plants. Plenty of manure can fertilize many fields, giving you better harvests.

To create FS25 manure, you must have a steady supply of straw, a crucial ingredient. A manure heap must be purchased and placed near the barn to start the production. This heap can be massive, with a maximum capacity of 4 million liters of manure.

This production can be ramped up even more. Under the “Silo extensions” section of the “Building” tab, you can purchase and build a 500,000 or even a 2.6 million liter slurry tank.

This slurry can be used for more than just fertilizing your fields. Any leftover slurry can be sold to the biogas plant, offering another way to make money with pigs on FS25.

Reproducing the pigs

On FS25, animals reproduce pretty easily and quickly. The animal’s health has to be over 0%, and this increase happens once every 6 months. To keep the animals in good health, keep them at the pasture with enough room, feed them well, and have enough water available. You will make more money from bigger and more mature animals, so maintain a young group. Sell the older animals, make money, and reinvest it to keep your farm younger. This will get you a stable source of income you can use for your other farming adventures.
