| care and management of piglets: Model Code of Practice for the Welfare of Animals Primary Industries Standing Committee, Pisc, 2008 This new edition of the Code is intended as a guide for all people responsible for the welfare of pigs under both intensive, deep litter and outdoor systems. Good welfare of farmed pigs will ensure that pigs cope well in their environment and that factors such as growth, reproductive performance, disease levels, injuries and death rates are within industry standards. The Code recognizes that the basic requirement for the welfare of pigs is a husbandry system, managed by trained and skilled stock-people to ensure that basic needs of pigs are met: * Readily accessible appropriate and sufficient food and water * Adequate shelter to protect from climatic extremes * Opportunity to display appropriate patterns of behaviour * Physical handling in a manner which minimizes the likelihood of unreasonable or unnecessary pain or distress * Protection from, and/or rapid diagnosis and correct treatment of injury or disease * Freedom for necessary movement including to stand, stretch and lie down * Visual and social contact with other pigs This Model Code of Practice for the Welfare of Animals has been prepared by the Animal Welfare Working Group (AWWG) for the Primary Industries Ministerial Council (PIMC). The AWWG is made up of representatives from CSIRO, Animal Health Australia, the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry - Australia, and from each of the State Departments responsible for agriculture. Extensive consultation has taken place with industry and animal welfare organisations in the development of the Code. This new edition supercedes the Second Edition, SCARM Report 66 |

| care and management of piglets: Swine Production and Health Management Umesh Dimri, M. C. Sharma (Veterinary scientist), 2013-06-15 This book on swine production, health and management emphasizes the swine rearing in totality. The authors have added expertise to all areas of the book. Swine, if reared under modern scientific methods, may provide significant economic benefits to its owner. Management, housing, knowledge about its anatomy and physiology, breeding/ reproduction, nutrition/ feeding, health/disease, production, products, marketing and economics are the facets which one needs to be well aware of to get optimum profitable return from this animal. The authors have tried to cover pig as an individual unit as well as an industry/ enterprise. Considering the importance of swine in the field of veterinary and animal sciences, this book has been written to provide a more academic, scientific and field oriented approach, thus making it suitable to the needs of academicians, scientists, students, field practitioners and the general reader. Newer aspects of swine husbandry are described with elaborate suggested reading references to aid in further reading. |

| care and management of piglets: The gestating and lactating sow Chantal Farmer, 2023-09-04 The last book on the lactating sow was published over 15 years ago. This new book brings us up to date in current knowledge on the gestating and lactating sow. It covers new and important topics such as conditioning of gilts for optimal reproductive performance, feeding high fibre diets to gestating sows and providing various fat sources in gestation and lactation. It also describes the several key success factors to group-housing systems in gestation, which is a must due to the current move towards group-housing. The new concept of transition feeding for sows is discussed, as well as the factors involved in mammary development of gilts and sows, both of which are instrumental for maximum colostrum and/or milk yields. The impact of the human-animal interactions on sow welfare and performance is discussed with focus on new handling practices that could be developed to overbalance the negative interactions inherent to pig management systems. Updates on must-have topics, such as amino acid and energy requirements of sows, colostrum and milk yield and composition, and sow health are also provided. The subjects covered in this book will assist animal scientists, nutritionists, veterinarians and swine producers in learning the most recent information on relevant and current topics affecting sow production, and in knowing which areas are in need of further research efforts. |

| care and management of piglets: The Pig Book Citizens Against Government Waste, 2013-09-17 The federal government wastes your tax dollars worse than a drunken sailor on shore leave. The 1984 Grace Commission uncovered that the Department of Defense spent $640 for a toilet seat and $436 for a hammer. Twenty years later things weren't much better. In 2004, Congress spent a record-breaking $22.9 billion dollars of your money on 10,656 of their pork-barrel projects. The war on terror has a lot to do with the record $413 billion in deficit spending, but it's also the result of pork over the last 18 years the likes of: - $50 million for an indoor rain forest in Iowa - $102 million to study screwworms which were long ago eradicated from American soil - $273,000 to combat goth culture in Missouri - $2.2 million to renovate the North Pole (Lucky for Santa!) - $50,000 for a tattoo removal program in California - $1 million for ornamental fish research Funny in some instances and jaw-droppingly stupid and wasteful in others, The Pig Book proves one thing about Capitol Hill: pork is king! |

| care and management of piglets: The Welfare of Pigs Jeremy N. Marchant-Forde, 2008-11-26 The domestic pig is perceived as an animal with intelligence and character and yet, in the industrialized world, the majority of people have had little or no contact with them. Pigs are subject to a wide range of environments from the tropics to the sub-arctic, ranging from small-scale, extensive systems to large-scale intensive systems. They may spend their whole life on one farm or may be subject to long-distance transport multiple times. Not surprisingly, many aspects of their life experiences can impact their welfare. This book brings together a team of leading pig welfare research scientists to review the natural history of the pig, the welfare of pigs at different stages of life and to indicate what the future holds in terms of pig welfare. The text is aimed at researchers and teachers working in veterinary and animal science together with those working in the pig industry and for governmental and non-governmental animal welfare organizations. |

| care and management of piglets: Animal Agriculture Fuller W. Bazer, G. Cliff Lamb, Guoyao Wu, 2019-10-25 Animal Agriculture: Sustainability, Challenges and Innovations discusses the land-based production of high-quality protein by livestock and poultry and how it plays an important role in improving human nutrition, growth and health. With exponential growth of the global population and marked rises in meat consumption per capita, demands for animal-source protein are expected to increase 72% between 2013 and 2050. This raises concerns about the sustainability and environmental impacts of animal agriculture. An attractive solution to meeting increasing needs for animal products and mitigating undesirable effects of agricultural practices is to enhance the efficiency of animal growth, reproduction, and lactation. Currently, there is no resource that offers specific knowledge of both animal science and technology, including biotechnology for the sustainability of animal agriculture for the expanding global demand of food in the face of diminishing resources. This book fills that gap, giving readers all the necessary information on important issues facing modern animal agriculture, namely its sustainability, challenges and innovative solutions. - Integrates new knowledge in animal breeding, biotechnology, nutrition, reproduction and management - Addresses the urgent issue of sustainability in modern animal agriculture - Provides practical solutions on how to solve the current and future problems that face animal agriculture worldwide |

Or to improve the productivity and livelihood of farmers from subsistence to commercial farming in Africa, this is the right book for you. This book was written by an experienced farmer and trainer to help bridge the knowledge gap required to establish and operate a successful commercial farm in Africa. It is a practical and easy to understand guide that will help you take their ideas from conception through to implementing, operating and profitably marketing of your product. It's also a handy resource for the more experienced pig-keeper who occasionally needs to dip into a quick-reference manual for help and reassurance.This book is divided into three sections: Business sectionFarm operations sectionThe marketing section In the business section of the book, we consider each of these topics in details1. Why this is a good time to invest in farming in Africa2. Reasons why people are venturing into commercial pig farming3. The correct attitudes of a successful commercial farmer4. How much capital do you need to start a commercial farm?5. How to raise fund your farmFarm Operations section, we look at:1. Where to locate your farm, important factors to consider such as the size and the location of your farm, e.g. proximity to market and feed suppliers, good neighbourliness, accessibility 2. Factors and things to consider when building your farm 3. How to choose the best pigs and transport them to the farm4. How to manage your different categories of pigs boar, gilt, sow, weaners and piglets throughout their different stages of life, e.g. detecting heat, mating, pregnancy, farrowing and weaning.The uniqueness of this book is that it did not only tell the farmer what to do alone but also exposed the physiology and anatomy of pigs that are relevant for farmers. It uses this to explain what the pig is going through during the stressful and critical situations like mating, pregnancy etc. and how a farmer can better assist the pig.In the final section, we look at the various stakeholders who are involved in moving our pigs from the farmgate to the consumer in sub-Sahara Africa. And how this relationship affects the market price of your product from the farm gate to the consumer. We also look at different methods of adding value to your farm products and how best to position and market your product profitably. As a diaspora farmer, I tried to strike a balance between the attractive features of living on the farm and being your boss, but I also emphasised the unpleasant and tough ones. It is my sincere hope that this book will help you to avoid failure, delay, disappointment, and mistakes that are typical of people who are new to farming. It should also help you to attain the satisfaction that characterises personal and well-directed efforts in agriculture. |
