The Evidence for a Causal Link Between Disease and Damaging Behavior in Pigs

Laura A. Boyle et al.

Summary: Damaging behaviors, such as tail and ear biting, are common in pig production and negatively impact welfare and performance. Poor health and tail damage show high correlations within and between pig farms. There are common risk factors for both tail-biting and health problems, including respiratory, enteric, and locomotory diseases. Limited evidence supports two potential causal mechanisms linking damaging behaviors and health problems, either poor health increasing the risk of tail-biting or tail-biting causing poor health.

Welfare of pigs on farm

Soren Saxmose Nielsen et al.

Summary: This scientific opinion focuses on assessing and providing recommendations for the welfare of pigs on farm. It includes different pig categories and relevant husbandry systems used in Europe. The opinion identifies welfare consequences, related animal-based measures, and hazards, as well as measures to prevent or mitigate these consequences. The paper also provides recommendations for specific welfare issues such as tail biting and ending cage age. Factors such as space allowance, flooring types, air quality, health status, and diet composition are discussed in relation to tail biting. The relationship between space availability and growth rate and lying behavior in rearing pigs is quantified. Additionally, the opinion suggests animal-based measures for monitoring farm welfare.

Severe tail lesions in finisher pigs are associated with reduction in annual profit in farrow-to-finish pig farms

Nienke van Staaveren et al.

Summary: The study found that a high prevalence of severe tail lesions in pig farms is associated with decreased growth rate of pigs, requiring more time to reach slaughter weight, increased feed costs, and reduced annual profit.

Abattoir-Based Measures to Assess Swine Welfare: Analysis of the Methods Adopted in European Slaughterhouses

Silvio De Luca et al.

Summary: The welfare of pigs is a focal point for consumers and pig producers, leading to the validation of methods for assessing pig welfare status. Simplified schemes involving data collection at the slaughterhouse are advocated as more practical alternatives.

Evaluation of Tail Lesions of Finishing Pigs at the Slaughterhouse: Associations With Herd-Level Observations

Mari Heinonen et al.

Summary: This study looked into the distribution of different types of tail lesions and their scoring at the slaughterhouse in relation to on-farm veterinary records. It was found that certain herd-level parameters, such as the use of wood enrichment and annual mortality rates, were associated with the proportions of tail lesions at the slaughterhouse. Detailed tail evaluation at the slaughterhouse shows potential in estimating the tail lesions and long-term welfare level on the farm.
