Abstract
To achieve ‘all-in/all-out’ pig flow the farm must efficiently batch. A batch is defined as the output from a group of sows from one weaning to another. Batching offers enhancement in the health and pathogen control on the farm. It also has significant social impact on the farm by providing convenient disciplines for the farm staff to follow. With some batching options, it may be possible to move expertise between different farms within a company. The combined benefits boost the wellbeing and welfare of the pigs and farm staff. Reductions in antimicrobial use of 70% have been achieved.
