  • Strategic Use of Straw at Farrowing
    Strategic Use of Straw at Farrowing Effects on Behaviour, Health and Production in Sows and Piglets Rebecka Westin Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science Department of Animal Environment and Health Skara Doctoral Thesis Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences Skara 2014 Acta Universitatis agriculturae Sueciae 2014:69 ISSN 1652-6880 ISBN (print version) 978-91-576-8086-0 ISBN (electronic version) 978-91-576-8087-7 © 2014 Rebecka Westin, Skara Print: SLU Service/Repro, Uppsala 2014 Strategic Use of Straw at Farrowing. Effects on Behaviour, Health and Production in Sows and Piglets Abstract According to EU-regulations, sows should be provided with suitable manipulable material, this in order to meet their behavioural needs. “Strategic use of straw at farrowing” means that loose housed sows are provided with 15-20 kg of chopped straw once at 2 days prior to the calculated date of farrowing. This gives them increased access to nesting material and creates a more suitable environment with an improved micro-climate and increased comfort during farrowing and early lactation, compared to a limited use of straw. After farrowing, the straw is left to gradually drain through the slatted floor and is then replaced by a daily supply of 0.5–1 kg straw in accordance with common Swedish management routines. The overall aim of this thesis was to evaluate if strategic use of straw at farrowing is technically feasible and to investigate its effect on behaviour, health and production in farrowing sows and suckling piglets by studying the sow’s nest-building behaviour and farrowing duration, the prevalence of bruising, piglet weight gain and pre-weaning mortality.

Agribusiness and Development in China’s Pork Industry By: Mindi Schneider with Shefali Sharma Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy February 2014 Global Meat Complex: The China Series China’s Pork Miracle? Agribusiness and Development in China’s Pork Industry By Mindi Schneider with Shefali Sharma Published February 2014 The author is an Assistant Professor of Agrarian, Food and Environmental Studies at the International Institute of Social Studies (ISS) in The Hague, Netherlands. Shefali Sharma is is based in Washington DC as the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy’s (IATP) Director ofAgricultural Commodities and Globalization Program. Some of the research presented in this report was supported by Oxfam Hong Kong. The Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy works locally and globally at the intersection of policy and practice to ensure fair and sustainable food, farm and trade systems. More at iatp.org 2 INSTITUTE FOR AGRICULTURE AND TRADE POLICY ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS When we embarked on this project to examine China’s role in the Global Industrial Meat Complex, we had intended to produce only one report. Fairly quickly into the research, we realized—given the complexity of China, the scale and scope of production and the rapid rate at which different meat segments in China are evolving—individual sectors such as feed, pork, dairy and poultry merited their own stories. This large endeavor could not have been achieved without the help of numerous people that were involved from the conception, research, drafting. translation and editing phases of the project. First, we’d like to thank Jim Harkness, IATP’s president for 7 years (2006–2013) as the person who conceived this project as a critical contribution to the debate on the expansion of industrial meat production, its increasing concentration and its implications for social and environmental justice.
