Generally they issue bonds (in the UK these are known as 'gilts'). They pay interest on these gilts which have been bought from the government. At some time these bonds will be redeemed at par (the nominal value when they were issued) by the govenment.

If you mean "guilds," they were associations of craftsmen and tradesmen according to their line of work: guilds of candlemakers (chandlers), textile workers, stonemasons, silversmiths, carpenters, etc. The guilds protected and passed down the secrets of their crafts and also gave their members certain privileges.
No - It is definitely Gilts - They were associated with the Catholic Church in medieval times

The definition of Gilt can be found in online dictionaries, such as Oxford, which would tell you that the word gilt means to be covered with gold leaf.

Assuming that the sow has a litter of 8 gilts at the start of the year, and each gilt is also able to have 6 or 8 gilts, then that's a total of 50 to 60 offspring (or grand-offspring) that can be accredited to Grandmother Sow.

A piglet is born as a piglet, and can be born as a male or female piglet or shoat. Females grow to be gilts, which are immature females that have not farrowed you, then sows after they've had their first farrowing. Males are boars if used for breeding, or barrows if they're castrated and used for meat production.

A smallholding (British English) is a small agricultural holding, or plot of land, smaller than a farm, but possibly bigger than an 'allotment'.
'Smallholdings' are a number of such plots. Investments: A small holding is ownership of a small number of shares. 'I have only a small holding in/of gilts, the rest is in equities and coporate bonds.'

The Government borrows money by selling bonds, explains the BBC.
Public finances have been battered by the coronavirus pandemic since it gripped the UK from early 2020.
The Government has been handing out huge sums of money to businesses and employees to prevent millions of people winding up unemployed.
The cost of the Chancellor's furlough scheme - which pays furloughed staff 80 per cent of their wages up to £2,500 a month - is £14billion a month, according to the Office for Budget Responsibility.
So the Government must borrow money as it spends more than it gets in income - mainly from income tax or VAT.
And this is where bonds come into play.
A bond is a promise to make payments to whoever holds it on certain dates. There is a large payment on the final date - in effect, the repayment.
Interest is also paid to whoever owns the bond in the meantime. So it's basically an interest-paying 'IOU'.
The buyers of these bonds, or "gilts", are mainly financial institutions, like pension funds, investment funds, banks and insurance companies.
The Bank of England has snapped up £875billion of government bonds to help boost spending and investment in the economy.
Repayment terms can be as fast as one day - or stretch over decades.

Chester white pigs, bred from various pigs in the Ohio-Pennsylvania area, are best known for large litters and good mothering. They are the youngest gilts to mature (in estrus even at three months). Although the boars are a bit aggressive (typical for most swine), the sows are very easy to manage. The carcass is also known for easy slicing. We have two three-quarter chester white/one-quarter duroc sows, which we breed to a full chester white boar, then those gilts back to a half duroc boar. This combination makes for fast and economic weight-gain and excellent dinner.
Absolutely nothing.

I think you meant to ask whether "gifts" are liable to capital gains tax.
If it is a true gift within the meaning of the tax law (and not some sort of disguised payment or barter), there is no capital gain tax at the time the gift is given. There may, however, be a gift tax (which is a different kind of tax) on the donor.
If the recipient of the gift later disposes of the gift, that transaction may generate taxable capital gains for the recipient.

'Gilts' or 'Gilt-Edged' is a colloquialism used in the United Kingdom to describe government securities issued in that country. South Africa and India use the same term in those countries for reasons of colonial legacy.
Terms used in other countries include 'OAT's' in France, 'Bunds' in Germany and 'Treasuries' in the USA, all of these terms being subsets of the generic term 'Government Securities'

Governments print more money in times of crisis particularly when they cannot borrow anymore money by issuing Government Bonds, such as Gilts in the UK. There is a formula used by economists to best show what happens when a government prints money. MV = PT where M is the amount of money in circulation V is the velocity of circulation of the money in the economy P is Price T is the number of transactions taking place. Given that V and T remain constant it can be seen that by printing money say by twofold this will lead to a doubling of prices. There will be too much money chasing too few goods and retailers etc. will increase prices as the printed money hits the economy. Also more foreign goods will be purchased leading to an erosion of the currency of the country that has printed the money. Zimbabwe is a classic example! Soon the British Government will hit a crisis point when tax revenues will fall well short of expenditure. They will continue to sell Gilts to borrow against this shortfall, but the more gilts that are issued the greater the risk the UK will default on their debts. This is currently running at an 80:1 chance of default in the next 5 years. The Government will then have to bid up the rate that it pays to the buyers of Gilts in order to entice them to purchase the Gilts. This will lead to an increase in interest paid further adding to the debt burden. This government will then inflate our way out of the problem by printing money. We will be then back to the seventies in a scenario of rampant inflation and a huge run on sterling.

Some types of securities have different tendencies depending on market conditions.
EG: As shares (equities) rise in price corporate bonds and gilts tend to remain quite stagnant. As shares fall in price corporate bonds tend to rise in price, as do gilts.
Within the assets mentioned above there are literally millions of companies you can invest in. Some of these companies will prosper, some will fail. There is no way of accurately predicting which will fail and which will prosper so it is good to spread it.
Fund managers do this well. They pick companies that they have researched and chose the companies you invest in accordingly. Obviously some fund managers are better than others and therefore you should spread your money between different managers and look at the rating of their past performance..
You should however not solely rely on past performance as an indicator to future returns

Economic Effects of a Budget Deficit
· Increased borrowing
The govt will have to borrow from the private sector, it does this by asking the Bank of England to sell bonds and gilts to the private sector.
· Higher debt interest payments
Selling bonds will increase the national debt, this is currently £300 billion. The annual interest payments is approximately £23 billion, this has a high opportunity cost because it requires future generations to pay higher taxes.
· Increased AD
A budget deficit implies lower taxes and increased G, this will increase AD and this may cause higher Real GDP and inflation.
· Higher Taxes and lower spending
In the future the govt may have to increase taxes or cut spending in order to reduce the deficit. This may cause reduced incentives to work
· Increased Interest rates
If the govt sells more bonds this is likely to cause interest rates to increase. This is because they will need to increase interest rates in order to attract investors to buy the extra debt.
If govt interest rates increase this will push up other interest rates as well.
· Crowding Out
Increased govt borrowing may cause a decrease in the size of the private sector (see fiscal policy)
· Inflation:
· In extreme circumstances the govt may increase the money supply to pay the debt, however this is unlikely to occur in the UK
· If the govt sells short term gilts to the banking sector then there will be an increase in the money supply, this is because banks see gilts as near money therefore they can maintain there lending to customers.

A person who rears pigs is called a pig farmer. He is responsible for the nutrition, mating, birthing, weaning, vaccinating, weighing, selling, identifying or tattooing, inseminating, and recording information of pigs. It is quite a lot of work, and on a farm with 300 gilts you are likely to have at least five pig farmers, most full-time. Some may be designated specialty areas such as one person being responsible for ordering, mixing and filling silos with feeds for different life stages. All will usually be responsible for some assistance with birthing, cleaning and pressure-cleaning.

Pigs typically have a breeding season year-round, but spring and summer are considered the peak seasons for breeding. Sows can come into heat every 21 days and have a gestation period of about 3 months, 3 weeks, and 3 days. It's important to manage breeding schedules to ensure optimal health and productivity of the pigs.

Gilt fund is a mutual fund that invests in several different types of medium and long-term government securities in addition to top quality corporate debt. Gilts originated in Britain.
Gilt funds differ from bond funds because bond funds invest in corporate bonds, government securities, and money market instruments. Gilt funds stick to high quality-low risk debt, mainly government securities. Gilt funds originate from the requirement of investors to ensure higher safety levels for their invested money. Thus this scheme invests in instruments, which are generally considered to be safer than AAA grade investments.
This scheme is ideal for investors who want higher safety levels for their investments and at the same time can obtain reasonable returns on their investments.

Government savings
The Government has traditionally used the savings of private individuals to fund its own borrowing.
Its main way of achieving this is to act as a financial institution in its own right and issue fixed interest
investments via the Bank of England. These investments pay a fixed level of interest at regular intervals over
a fixed (or variable) period of time. While they act as an investment to the individual buying them, returning
the original capital at the end of the term and interest at intervals during it, they function as a loan to the
Bank of England and hence the Government. Gilts are one of the best known types of this investment and are
covered in more detail in chapter 2.
The other Government financial institution is National Savings and Investments (established in 1861 as
the National Savings Bank). Savings and deposits into this institution are also used to fund Government
borrowing

No, male hogs do not have horns. They do grow tusks, that grow larger with each year of age. They can get quite large, interfering with eating so they sometimes have to be removed surgically. Other times they are just fierce looking. They can be filed off, much like other animals, and they can be almost one inch in circumference. THey can do damage to other animals should they engage in a fight.

I have worked over 10 years on an isowean farm. I'm not sure if this definition is one you would find in a dictionary or text book, but I would say an isowean pig is one that is raised to be approx. 10 pounds, given all necessary vaccination and medication as required. Typically an isowean farm will artificially inseminate sows (female pigs who have given birth before) or gilts (basically a young virgin pig) and then (approx. 3 months, 3 weeks, and 3 days later) the mother will give birth to anywhere between 1-20ish piglets (baby pigs), depending on how old she is, and if the person inseminating her did a good job; time of year and living conditions also will play a factor on litter (total number of piglets) size.
Then, about a month or so goes by and the piglets get to be about 10 pounds and the farmer sells them to another farmer, or "finisher". There, the isowean pigs are fed corn/soy bean mixture and grow to full size.
Hope this helps.

I dont really think so because I have a guinea pig and she is now 2 years old (in human years) and she has not had her period. They might though and my guinea pig might just be spayed because I got her from someone else and I'm not sure if she did or not. I know dogs do but cats dont so my guess is going to be no. because in the wild, who is going to clean up the blood for the guinea pig???nobody. so probably no. thank you for asking!! i love answering questions on here.

In swine management, proper housing is crucial to ensure the well-being and productivity of the pigs. Housing should provide adequate space, ventilation, lighting, temperature control, and cleanliness. Equipment such as feeders, waterers, heating systems, and waste management systems should be in place to support the pigs' health and growth. Regular maintenance and cleanliness of both housing and equipment are essential to prevent diseases and ensure optimal performance.

A female pig can be bred at about 9 months of age and have 2.5 litters per year. Pigs can live up to 15 years (although this is often truncated by market decisions in commerical facilities), so the math works out to about 28 times through a farrowing unit.

Taken from Wikipedia -
Consols (originally short for consolidated annuities, but can now be taken to mean consolidated stock) are a form of British government bond (gilt), dating originally from the 18th century. Consols are one of the rare examples of an actual perpetuity: although they may be redeemed by the British government, they are unlikely to do so in the foreseeable future. In 1752, the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Prime Minister Sir Henry Pelham converted all outstanding issues of redeemable government stock into one bond, Consolidated 3.5% Annuities, in order to reduce the coupon rate paid on the government debt. In 1757, the coupon rate on the stock was reduced to 3%, leaving the stock as Consolidated 3% Annuities. The coupon rate remained at 3% until 1888. In 1888, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Joachim Goschen, converted the existing Consolidated 3% Annuities, along with Reduced 3% Annuities (issued in 1752) and New 3% Annuities (1855), into a new bond, 2¾% Consolidated Stock under the National Debt (Conversion) Act 1888 (Goschen's Conversion). As part of the terms of the Act, the coupon rate of the stock was reduced to 2½% in 1903, and the stock given a first redemption date of 5 April 1923, after which point the stock could be redeemed at par value by Act of Parliament. Consols still exist today: in their current form as 2½% Consolidated Stock (1923 or after), they remain a small part of the UK Government's debt portfolio. As the bond has a low coupon, there is little incentive for the government to redeem it. Unlike most gilts, which pay coupons semi-annually, because of its age Consols pay coupons four times a year. Also, as a result of its uncertain redemption date, they are typically treated as a perpetual bond.

Most pigs get killed and to be eaten by human beings. Pigs which are also use to make a lot of other things like expensive paint brushes, gloves, shoes etc...
people think pig are dirty and muddy but they are actually really clean. they r also very intellegent.
10 answers
They can, yes. Often gilts or sows who don't have strong mothering instincts, as reflected by the selection practices of humans for leaner meat and faster growth in pigs, will kill their piglets because they don't know what they are and look like they'll taste good. It doesn't happen all the time, thanks to the designs of farrowing pens that sows have to be in. But even then, there can still be a blood bath if a piglet mistakenly gets within reach of his mother and gets killed.
Guinea pigs will also kill and eat their young if they have to. Often they will eat their young if they are stillborn, to prevent the attraction of predators that smell rotting flesh of the dead young.
