Farrowing welfare to be showcased at EuroTier 2012


    Welfare will be at the center of attention in the BFL/DLG special “Wellness in farrowing units,” showcased at EuroTier 2012.
    This will present an opportunity to explore innovations in farrowing housing equipment. In addition to the latest developments in conventional housing, flooring and climate systems, farrowing units with various possibilities of free range for sows will also be presented. A floor area of 540 square meters will showcase various types of housing that allow sows more movement, as well as floor design, feeding equipment and climate control, as well as hygiene and health management of sows and piglets. Also, experts on sow and piglet husbandry will be available to assist visitors and promote the exchange of information.
    In addition, the EuroTier Pig Forum, held in Hall 12, B57, has a daily program which covers all aspects of pig husbandry, nutrition, health and hygiene plus the special sessions on “Wellness in the farrowing house.” These sessions are accompanied by simultaneous translation (German/English).
    EuroTier will take place November 13–16, in Hanover, Germany.
