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.

I am a hardcore vegan, so I don't eat these animals, but this type of high welfare farming is wonderful! These pigs can have plenty of space to roam and root about, take care of their babies the way they want to, have sun on their backs and live like pigs should! I applaud these people for the treatment of their animals.

Excellent video, I love this, God bless you. This is the right way to raise pigs as God intended. I am so happy to see this, and I hope that this video will reach inhumane factory farmers. I don't see how those people sleep at night. Your pigs look happy and content, and I don't hear any cries of pain and auguish the way you do in intensive factory farms. I have cried over their plight. Thanks again.
