| Babies! Didn't know that Pot Belly piglets were that small. It looked like a big rat! This was our first time delivering piglets in a natural way and luckily, we did not encounter any problems like piglets suddenly dying or crushing issues (Mother pig accidentally crushes her baby pig). Sows (Mother Pig) are very protective with their young. They usually growl and sometimes charge us whenever we get close to their offspring. Despite this behavior, we are happy with the outcome because coming from a conventional farm, we rarely see such freedom from the mother pigs to act in their natural behavior. Note that in a conventional piggery farm, the mother pig is placed in a farrowing crate and her movements are very limited. One of our top priorities in Crusor is the welfare of the animals. As much as possible, we want to mimic the animals' natural habitat and give them less stress. |
