Speaking of Pork
Vietnam seems to be getting the hang of capitalism. One farmer in the country is getting innovative. From the indispensable Pig Progress website:
A Vietnamese pig farmer is using a new and interesting way to boost productivity. He believes that the melodies of Beethoven, Mozart and Schubert help promote productivity while his 3000 pigs have their noses in their troughs.
"I saw that my pigs started eating more and that they were gaining weight faster than usual," said [Nguyen Chi] Cong, who adds that he blasts the tunes of the composers daily from 7:00 – 11:00 am and 14:00 – 16:00 pm.
"I think I am the first farmer in Vietnam to apply this technique."
