One of the main tools to encourage the installation of extra lighting in the mating area is the data analysis, and more specifically the weaning-to-service interval.
The compounds responsible of boar taint can be reduced through feeding strategies, genetic selection and good management practices.
The most difficult thing for sows is learning to open doors. Here we show an easy and practical way to achieve it.
Practical implications of a study that analyzes the consequences of litter standardization by weight or number and the supply of creep feeding.
When we must treat many animals (e.g. when blanket vaccinations or antiparasitic treatments must be administered), injections must be fast.
