The Chamber of Agriculture of Brittany suggests using cameras to analyze the behavior of our pigs and to correct the factors that limit their performance.

When losses and costs from poor health threaten the current and future farm profitability, perhaps a “clean slate” should be considered.

In this installment, we will discover how heat stress affects the digestive tract of pigs.

Implementing precision feeding through the use of electronic feeders improves sow and piglet performance while providing economic, environmental, and animal welfare benefits.

This is how one of the Tosh Pork farms in the United States works, combining technology, production efficiency, and social commitment. In this first article, we present the structure, work culture, and overview of U.S. swine production.

Two models of exoskeletons were tested on farms to evaluate whether they improved working conditions during piglet vaccination.

We are sharing an example of a sow card used to record basic breeding sow data, which is essential on all farms regardless of their size.

The relatively short but very intense lactation period is undoubtedly a key phase in pig production for both sows and piglets. The fragility of the piglets and the significant demands that sows face at this stage make early detection of problems essential. Do we understand what the animals are telling us?

In today's context of high production costs and increasing pressure from environmental regulations, swine production faces the challenge of balancing production efficiency with the environmental and economic sustainability of the industry. A key factor in this equation is feed particle size, where simple actions available to the producer can achieve significant improvements.
