Using local anesthesia prior to castration of piglets may lead to other concerns being examined by researchers from Aarhus University.

Results of a new study indicate mixed plant oils can be a more effective energy feed for weanling piglets than diets using soybean oil as the only lipid source.

Another area that needs further research is how much of a risk finishing pigs are to sow farms, Torremorell says.
