Pig Raising Scheme

This picture shows KAAA pigsties in Yuen Long. Pictured here is pig distribution at a KAAA unit. KAAA offered loan for pig feed purchase. Repayment dues when the litters were mature and ready to be sold at market. KAAA helped poor vegetable growers exploit a secondary source of income through pig rearing.

For a small charge, the Government supplied boars to mate with sows. This service was also available from local boar keepers while KAAA provided boar-on-demand service. In 1959, the Government introduced artificial insemination to better protect swine from contagious diseases.
