How to remove and reintroduce pigs from a group?
1. Determine which pig to remove to gain most benefit. 2. Remove the selected pig together with at least one other pig.
3. Write down the pen number from which they are removed and date of removal.
4. Provide a recovery pen without mixing with other unfamiliar pigs.
5. When the pigs have recovered, or at least within seven days, return the pigs together to the original pen.
6. Provide ropes in the pen at the time of reintroduction. 7. Use scent marking spray such as diluted Dettol when pigs are returned.
