Pig-raising in New Zealand is essentially associated with Dairying. The large volumes of dairy bi-products in the dairying districts provide practically the only foodstuffs available in any quantity for pig fattening purposes. Furthermore, these by products have no other marketable outlet, on a large scale, than by conversion into pork and bacon.
