"Swine Care Practices"  There are at least two reasons to give pigs proper care. One is an ethical concern for the pig's well-being. Another is production efficiency. Management practices that incorporate good animal care are usually also the most effective from a production standpoint. When pigs receive good care, production costs per pound of pork produced are less than when pigs are not well cared for. If certain management practices conflict with the well-being of the animals, it will be to the producer's long-term advantage to adopt practices that put the animals' welfare ahead of short-term cost savings. Science has not yet provided all the answers we need to fully understand animal needs, and it may never be possible, or practical, to meet the theoretical limits of pig welfare. However, past research and years of practical experiences have provided a w ealth of information that can be applied across a wide variety of pork production systems. This publication is designed to help producers evaluate their husbandry procedures with respect to the well-being of their animals and to offer production practices that are both ethically acceptable and cost efficient.
