The domestic pig is perceived as an animal with intelligence and
character and yet, in the industrialized world, the majority of
people have had little or no contact with them. Pigs are subject to
a wide range of environments from the tropics to the sub-arctic,
ranging from small-scale, extensive systems to large-scale
intensive systems. They may spend their whole life on one farm or
may be subject to long-distance transport multiple times. Not
surprisingly, many aspects of their life experiences can impact
their welfare.
This book brings together a team of leading pig welfare research
scientists to review the natural history of the pig, the welfare of
pigs at different stages of life and to indicate what the future
holds in terms of pig welfare. The text is aimed at researchers and
teachers working in veterinary and animal science together with
those working in the pig industry and for governmental and
non-governmental animal welfare organizations.
