Download or read book The Pig Sector written by Darryl Jones and published by OECD Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first in a series of OECD studies which investigate trade policies, agricultural production and their impact on the environment. This study focuses on the pig sector in OECD countries and considers the most appropriate forms of policy intervention. It finds that production is expected to slow, if not contract, in OECD European and Asian countries, where government support for pig production in the form of tariffs and export subsidies is generally the highest, and environmental impacts on water and air pollution are of greatest concern. Therefore, liberalising trade is likely to generate some environmental benefits. Using comparative analysis, it also concludes that, while manure management regulations do differ among countries, the cost effect on pig producers is not significant in explaining differences in international competitiveness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new edition of the Code is intended as a guide for all people responsible for the welfare of pigs under both intensive, deep litter and outdoor systems. Good welfare of farmed pigs will ensure that pigs cope well in their environment and that factors such as growth, reproductive performance, disease levels, injuries and death rates are within industry standards. The Code recognizes that the basic requirement for the welfare of pigs is a husbandry system, managed by trained and skilled stock-people to ensure that basic needs of pigs are met: * Readily accessible appropriate and sufficient food and water * Adequate shelter to protect from climatic extremes * Opportunity to display appropriate patterns of behaviour * Physical handling in a manner which minimizes the likelihood of unreasonable or unnecessary pain or distress * Protection from, and/or rapid diagnosis and correct treatment of injury or disease * Freedom for necessary movement including to stand, stretch and lie down * Visual and social contact with other pigs This Model Code of Practice for the Welfare of Animals has been prepared by the Animal Welfare Working Group (AWWG) for the Primary Industries Ministerial Council (PIMC). The AWWG is made up of representatives from CSIRO, Animal Health Australia, the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry - Australia, and from each of the State Departments responsible for agriculture. Extensive consultation has taken place with industry and animal welfare organisations in the development of the Code. This new edition supercedes the Second Edition, SCARM Report 66
