Answer to Question 2
In a confinement operation, the hogs have sufficient space to be comfortable and grow at a fast rate. They are not allowed to run loose in a pasture. They are all similar in size, age, and sex. The houses are climate-controlled, so the hogs are protected from the heat, cold, and rain. The overhead cost is high, but less labor is needed to care for the pigs. They are taken care of with automatic feeders and waterers. They are less likely to pick up parasites or contract diseases, because the houses are cleaned and disinfected.
In a free-range operation, the pigs are allowed to roam freely and can eat acorns, roots, and other wild plants. The pigs tend to spread out more and are harder to keep track of. There is no climate control or disease-reduced environment.
