With growing concern from consumers and regulatory agencies about
the welfare of farmed animals such as pigs, the livestock sector
must assess how animal welfare can be improved whilst ensuring
livestock production remains economically and environmentally
sustainable. Understanding the behaviour and improving the welfare
of pigs is a comprehensive review of key research in this important
area. This collection reviews genetic and developmental factors
affecting pig behaviour and current welfare issues at different
production stages, as well as specific issues such as tail biting
and castration. The book concludes with an assessment of ways to
measure welfare, including techniques to monitor pig behaviour.
With its distinguished editor and international team of expert
authors, Understanding the behaviour and improving the welfare of
pigs will be a standard text for university researchers in
pig/swine and veterinary science as well as ethology. It will also
be a key reference for government and other agencies involved in
regulating and monitoring farm animal welfare, as well as farmers
and companies involved in pig production.
