Danish Crown: Pay attention to the heat when delivering
With high temperatures and sunshine, it is extra important that the animals also get enough water during delivery. This applies in covered delivery rooms, where it can get quite hot. The pigs must have access to water while they are waiting to be collected, and regardless of whether it is day or night, when they are being prepared for collection.
For non-covered delivery, pigs must not be let out into direct sunlight until immediately before collection. For delivery vans, it applies that they must be placed in the shade and the pigs must have access to water.
In order to ensure animal welfare in connection with transport, it is encouraged to keep in contact with Central Planning, so that delivery can be coordinated with the time of collection.
Central planning follows the weather forecast and reduces the number of pigs per read in relation to it.
How to stay up-to-date and gain experience from the production of male pigs?
Danish Crown Owner Service invites on 21 June at 16.30 male pig producers and their operational managers for an online meeting about male pig production, where the advice comes with professional input, and experience can be shared between the cooperative owners.
The production of male pigs in Danish Crown has been expanded since the ambition to slaughter an additional 1.2 million male pigs were launched in November 2022. Since February, many have therefore stopped castrating, and we want to take the opportunity to exchange experiences between cooperative owners and managers at an early stage.
Danish Crown would like to support this with an online meeting on 21 June.
"We want to ensure that we transfer as much good advice and knowledge between the cooperative owners as possible, so we think it is obvious that cooperative owners and their operational managers meet online and share experiences with the production of male pigs. At the same time, Danish Crown's consultancy will start the meeting with the professional knowledge they can draw from their daily work, so that a professional perspective will also be added", says Kristian Jensen, who is head of the Professional Consultants in Danish Crown Owner Service.
