As pig farmers continue to raise safe and nutritious pork, they ensure their animals are comfortable and well cared for by selecting the appropriate housing for their sows, or mother pigs. Pig farmers are committed to animal well-being, and they strive to provide the best possible care for their pigs. A big part of this effort lies in providing a safe environment, that leads to the highest standard of well-being.
We use a variety of practices, including veterinarian and nutritionist attention, to maintain animal health
at each stage of life.
