06-Nov-2025Robert HosteHigher density with intact tails? There is need for more space than the EU minimum requirements to be able to have intact tails. This will not work.
Fewer piglet transfers, more time saved 
Over 98% of Camborough
and X54 gilts now have ≥14 functional teats — improving natural litter fit and reducing the need for fostering. That means better biosecurity, stronger starts, and up to 3 hours saved per 100 sows each week.

What advantages does a heating bulb provide?
Heating bulbs allow to generate, quickly and in any place, a warm and pleasant environment for people and animals. Heating lamps are very easy to install, inexpensive and they do not require previous installations for their functioning.

Feeding the enemy: more coinfections lead to more lymphoblasts, increasing the chances for PCV2 to replicate
In healthy animals, PCV2 stays under the radar, causing little harm. But with coinfections that activate the immune system, the virus replicates more and becomes more damaging.

05-Nov-2025潘佳昇 員林農工PCV2（豬環狀病毒2型）主要在受到其它感染（共感染）刺激免疫系統、產生淋巴母細胞時大量複製。
若豬群健康、沒有共感染，PCV2複製能力弱，造成損害少；但若有多重共感染，免疫活化，病毒複製增加，破壞性顯著上升。
臨床上，PCV2造成的疾病包括：斷奶至育肥期嚴重死亡、皮膚炎與腎病等，養豬產業經濟損失大。
文章引用了多位PCV2相關專家（如Hans Nauwynck）的研究，強調疫苗開發與大量監控讓PCV2疫情改善。
建議參考「豬病手冊」了解更多關於PCV2的臨床表現和防控措施。

Enhancing Pig Welfare Through Environmental EnrichmentDiscover how organic farming practices can naturally support better pig welfare in our latest video from the mEATquality project.
In organic husbandry, pigs are encouraged to express their natural behaviors - rooting, grazing, and wallowing - which are essential for their well-being. Environmental enrichment isn’t just a recommendation; it’s a requirement under organic standards.
This video highlights practical and cost-effective enrichment strategies, from outdoor pens to agroforestry systems, showing how farmers can meet pigs’ needs while maintaining productivity and sustainability.LikecommentshareMy favorites
On October 25th, we organised a workshop during 𝐅𝐀𝐙𝐈 – 𝐅𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐚 𝐀𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐚 𝐙𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚 𝐈𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐚 in Montichiari (Italy) together with our Italian partners CRPA and ANAS, focused on good practices for pig welfare in view of the upcoming changes in EU legislation.
The session was opened by Maurizio Gallo (ANAS), followed by a presentation of the WelFarmers project by Paolo Ferrari (CRPA). Then, Paolo Ferrari, Maurizio Gallo and Manolo Cappelloni (ANAS) shared some of the best practices identified in the project.
We wapped up the event with an open discussion with the audience and final reflections.
