Having an animal welfare culture involves experienced, empowered employees and involvement from the top down.

Researchers from Aarhus University will examine advantages and disadvantages of different anesthetics used in piglet castration.

During the 2019 Pig Welfare Symposium, Suzanne Leonard presented the "Effects of one or two heat lamps on sow behavior and piglet performance in farrowing stalls."

The study builds on previous research that showed that pigs that fought on first meeting and quickly settled into a large clique were less aggressive in the long-term.

A large collaborative research project, involving input from 104 U.S. farms representing 385,000 sows, provided good data relating to this issue in the industry.

Progress is being made as a research protocol is being established to reliably evaluate efficacy of pain mitigation interventions in nursing male piglets during castration.

The objective of the project was to determine if a sked, revised deer sled and ice fishing sled were suitable humane handling tools for manually moving non-ambulatory grow-finish pigs.
