Re: Cannibalism in growing pigs
Check Diet
Usually in growing pigs their diet is responsible for alot of behaviors to do with cannabalism. If they are biting at the flank of the pigs near the back leg then it is salt levels that may have ped and therefore they look for a replacement source.ie flank
If it is tail biting it can be just stress but often an unbalanced feed try switching to something else and see if problem quits or just ask for a reformulation because of tailbiting and mill may take care of it for you. Removing one pig is the easiest to start but doesnt always solve underlying problems.
