Recommendations for Handling
Animals in Markets
Moving Pigs
In Raceways
Pigs do not exhibit the same flocking
and herding instincts shown by sheep
and cattle. Instead they tend to move
as a loose association of animals.
To encourage animals to move into/out
of the race ensure way ahead is clear.
To move animal forward
stand behind point of balance.
To move animal backwards
stand in front of point of balance.
