These codes are nationally-developed guidelines for the proper care and handling of farm animals. The adoption of these codes is voluntary, and they are intended to be used as educational tools for the promotion of sound husbandry and welfare practices. The full code is a booklet that is 50 pages long. It's much more detailed than necessary for most applications and it's expensive to produce. Housing Every type of housing system must provide conditions conducive to comfort, good health, growth and performance at all stages of the pig's life.
Temperature is an important factor for pig comfort, health, growth and performance.
The temperature at pig level may be quite different than the wall thermometer. Ventilation Pigs of all ages should be protected from draughts. This is especially important for baby pigs, newly weaned pigs and pigs that are sick. Good housekeeping practices should be followed to reduce dust levels inside barns. Flooring All floors must be safe.
