Poor production in growing pigs

OVER the past decade there has been a conscious effort to keep staffing levels as low as possible on all pig units. Although on paper this has been attractive from an accounting point of view, the effect on pig health, welfare and productivity has, in many cases, been counterproductive. Certain areas of the production cycle require minimal attention from the stockman but others, including the farrowing house, the service area, especially for new gilts and, to a lesser extent, the immediate post weaning accommodation, all demand almost constant attention by a skilled stockman. This person must have ample time to observe and deal promptly with any problems and provide a stable and optimal environment to cater for the very different needs of the pigs in these three very critical areas of production.
