Weekly Overview: How Much Does the Sow Stall Ban Cost?
2013-11-25 01:00:00| ThePigSite - Industry News
GLOBAL - It has been suggested that the total ban on sow stalls in the UK could be costing producers one piglet per litter as the result of aggression between sows at the critical time before pregnancy is fully established. In Ireland, the deadline for compliance with the EU's partial stalls ban has been put back again. In the meantime, two groups are joining forces to push for an end to the castration of male pigs in the EU in 2018, while a UK animal charity says consumers want information on how animals are killed to be included on meat labels.
