Pig Production is the first part of a vital new series of educational resources for agriculture, veterinary and animal science courses.

Future resources will cover other species and farming practices such as broiler chickens (chickens bred for meat).

The resources are based on a combination of animal welfare scienceand the practical experience of farmers. For each species this will include a fully-referenced book incorporating case studies exemplifying good practice.

GAP will be a valuable tool for lecturers, educationalists, vets,farmers, students of agricultural and veterinary science and for all who make decisions which affect the welfare of farm animals.

Good Agricultural Practice is a concept evolved by the Food andAgriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO). Good agricultural practices:

produce safe, healthy, high quality food for consumers

provide jobs with fair incomes for rural communities

are socially and environmentally sustainable

provide high standards of animal welfare.

The aim of Good Agricultural Practice should be to achieve development that is both humane and sustainable.

4:40 a human is inseminating a pig

7:12 they just drop hay bales on the head, plunk

[101101101777]

Compare building nest for young in wild vid to 4:11 where she's piling hay in her broken up plywood shack with a tag on her ear

The larger pig at 1:02 looks to also be shifting back and forth out of stress, similar to confined elephants.

What a crock. We let them live nicer than factory farms before we sent them to slaughter. I love the pig chewing on the bars with worn down teeth as the narrator expounds the places virtues. That is classic pig ptsd behaviour for long term confinement.

i can't wait to raise my own animals so i don't support all this fucking factory farming
