Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last book on the lactating sow was published over 15 years ago. This new book brings us up to date in current knowledge on the gestating and lactating sow. It covers new and important topics such as conditioning of gilts for optimal reproductive performance, feeding high fibre diets to gestating sows and providing various fat sources in gestation and lactation. It also describes the several key success factors to group-housing systems in gestation, which is a must due to the current move towards group-housing. The new concept of transition feeding for sows is discussed, as well as the factors involved in mammary development of gilts and sows, both of which are instrumental for maximum colostrum and/or milk yields. The impact of the human-animal interactions on sow welfare and performance is discussed with focus on new handling practices that could be developed to overbalance the negative interactions inherent to pig management systems. Updates on must-have topics, such as amino acid and energy requirements of sows, colostrum and milk yield and composition, and sow health are also provided. The subjects covered in this book will assist animal scientists, nutritionists, veterinarians and swine producers in learning the most recent information on relevant and current topics affecting sow production, and in knowing which areas are in need of further research efforts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From January 1994 to March 1996, a comparative study was conducted to determine whether group housing of dry sows can be advised as an alternative for individual housing. In the study three group housing systems (free access stalls, trickle feeding and the electronic sow feeding) and one individual housing system (stalls) were considered. The four systems were compared on different aspects: i.e. animal behaviour, reproduction and replacement, health, feeding, labour and control, and economics

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The domestic pig is perceived as an animal with intelligence and character and yet, in the industrialized world, the majority of people have had little or no contact with them. Pigs are subject to a wide range of environments from the tropics to the sub-arctic, ranging from small-scale, extensive systems to large-scale intensive systems. They may spend their whole life on one farm or may be subject to long-distance transport multiple times. Not surprisingly, many aspects of their life experiences can impact their welfare. This book brings together a team of leading pig welfare research scientists to review the natural history of the pig, the welfare of pigs at different stages of life and to indicate what the future holds in terms of pig welfare. The text is aimed at researchers and teachers working in veterinary and animal science together with those working in the pig industry and for governmental and non-governmental animal welfare organizations.

Sections review the needs of pigs, including chapters on the physical environment and the social and emotional needs of the animals, key welfare issues in the pig's lifecycle from birth to slaughter, including weaning, aggression and pig-human interactions, and emerging topics such as prenatal stress, individual differences and organic farming. Final sections cover pig welfare and attitudes towards pig welfare amongst farmers and other stakeholders. Written by an international team of leaders in the field, the book continues to be a useful resource for practicing vets involved in welfare assessment, welfare research scientists and students, and indeed anyone with a professional interest in the welfare of pigs.

Download or read book Investigation of a Group Farrowing System Regarding Behaviour and Skin Injuries of Sows and Piglets and the Piglets ́ Body Weight Gain written by Lilith Schrey and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welfare concerns regarding farrowing and lactating sows, commonly kept in single housing systems with farrowing crates, have led to an intensifying social debate, also being the subject of recent political considerations in Germany. The aim of this study was to analyse a free farrowing system with regard to its animal friendliness for sows and piglets, which was designed to be easily installed on commercial farms and offered space for a group of five lactating sows. Therefore, sows ́ and piglets ́ behaviour, skin injuries as well as piglets ́ weight gain were analysed during lactation. The piglets ́ skin lesions and weight gain in group housing (GH) were compared to piglets kept in conventional individual housing (IH), before and after weaning. The investigated GH-system was located on the research farm of the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover, Foundation (Germany), and consisted of five farrowing pens (ca. 5 m2), a central common area (11.6 m2) as well as an area which was only available for the piglets (piglet area 1.8 m2). Inside the pens, rubber bollards and flexible iron bars replaced the farrowing crate to protect the piglets from being crushed by the sow. Three farrowing pens were equipped with less perforated plastic flooring (0.7 %), where straw could be provided daily, whereas the both remaining pens were fitted with more highly perforated plastic flooring (29 %) including a central lying area. Flexible steps at the entrance of the pens prevented the piglets from leaving the pens during their first days of life until they were physically able to master the steps. Sows could leave the pens by easily crossing the steps, thus being able to move freely within the housing system. In IH, sows were confined to farrowing crates throughout the housing period and piglets remained separated from foreign litters. The piglets were weaned 35 days post-partum on average in both housing systems. In total, data of 25 sows kept in GH and 34 litters kept in GH and IH were studied in a total of five batches. Video-observations were carried out to determine the activity and location of sows and piglets in GH. The suckling behaviour including cross-suckling was analysed by direct recording and the dunging behaviour by scoring the soiling of the different floor areas in GH. Skin lesions of several parts of the sows ́ and piglets ́ bodies were assessed by using a cumulative lesion score. Additionally, the occurrence of sows ́ shoulder lesions was documented. At weaning, some piglets were chosen for a further experiment and mixed into groups of ten, with five piglets from two different litters each. The two different litters within a group originated from the same farrowing system. Skin injuries and daily weight gain of these piglets were recorded. The piglets left the farrowing pens 10.6 days post-partum in GH, corresponding to the behaviour under semi-natural conditions. Between parturition and the time before the piglets could leave the farrowing pens, sows spent most of their time inside the pens together with their litters (p

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new edition of the Code is intended as a guide for all people responsible for the welfare of pigs under both intensive, deep litter and outdoor systems. Good welfare of farmed pigs will ensure that pigs cope well in their environment and that factors such as growth, reproductive performance, disease levels, injuries and death rates are within industry standards. The Code recognizes that the basic requirement for the welfare of pigs is a husbandry system, managed by trained and skilled stock-people to ensure that basic needs of pigs are met: * Readily accessible appropriate and sufficient food and water * Adequate shelter to protect from climatic extremes * Opportunity to display appropriate patterns of behaviour * Physical handling in a manner which minimizes the likelihood of unreasonable or unnecessary pain or distress * Protection from, and/or rapid diagnosis and correct treatment of injury or disease * Freedom for necessary movement including to stand, stretch and lie down * Visual and social contact with other pigs This Model Code of Practice for the Welfare of Animals has been prepared by the Animal Welfare Working Group (AWWG) for the Primary Industries Ministerial Council (PIMC). The AWWG is made up of representatives from CSIRO, Animal Health Australia, the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry - Australia, and from each of the State Departments responsible for agriculture. Extensive consultation has taken place with industry and animal welfare organisations in the development of the Code. This new edition supercedes the Second Edition, SCARM Report 66
