@farmpluske: TRANSPORTING PIGS TO MARKET 🐖🚛 Getting your pigs to market is not just about loading them onto a vehicle. Proper transportation protects their welfare, reduces stress, prevents injuries and helps maintain the value of your pigs. Before transport: - 🐷 Choose healthy pigs that are fit to travel. - 🚛 Use a clean, well-ventilated vehicle with enough space. - 💧 Avoid overcrowding and provide adequate ventilation. - 🧹 Keep the vehicle clean and free from sharp objects. - ⏰ Plan the journey to avoid unnecessary delays and extreme heat. - 🤝 Load calmly—avoid beating, kicking or frightening the pigs. - 🌡️ During hot weather, transport during cooler hours where possible. - 📍 Unload carefully at the market to prevent injuries. Remember: Stress during transportation can affect the pig's condition and ultimately your returns. Good handling = Healthy pigs = Better value at market. 💰🐖 #farmplus
