For that fight the Pigs

Cordial greeting has groups of pigs approximately under good conditions lots from 10 to 15 in galpones of 5 meters for 5 meters,
Several dispensers of water for wide galpon,comederos, chains and tires hung pàra that play. But I have the problem that in the last days and with pesos of 30k at 60k begin to fight aveces all against an alone one in most of the cases they have been sows, the strange thing or what I don't understand is that all fight against an alone one, and me and seen in the necessity of changing them location, but same these in their new location neither are accepted.

Hello Jesus, the pigs usually fight to the moment to contain them and until for 5 days, depending the genetics, this is normal because in the group there are pigs that need to demonstrate their hierarchy. With you the strange thing is that they are fighting the same contained pigs and already defined the hierarchy. Now the first thing that you have to see is if that sow really belonged to that corral, because many times for defects in the doors or fences, they are left to the corridors or they spend of a corral to other and we are made easy, if they are left to the corridor, to put them to the first corral that we have to the hand or we don't realize that you step of a corral to another. Once revised the above-mentioned, it verifies that the mouths of the troughs are the suitable ones for the number of pigs that you/they are housed by corral. Then it analyzes some factor like heat, cold, humidity, dirt etc. For I finish it verifies that to the animal that you/they are attacking, not this suffering some illness, since the other pigs when detecting weakness etc begin to bother them and many times until killing them if he/she doesn't separate on time.

you Know, you should have in cuena many factors: age, carves, weight, doesn't care if they are or non siblings, when you want to mix animals, these they should not eat, when being taken to the new corral you should take out the animals and to mix them with the help of an empty sack, to make sound so that they can advance without having to load them, to the moment that these they walk and they mix they go making friends. Another important fact is that the corral where it will change the animals it is new for all, that is to say that none has been before there, and to leave a cut tire and they will pass the time and they won't fight a lot.
That they fight, they fight but for a lot of time to the much it will be not more 1/4 of hour. He/she notices: the one changed of corral it will be been in the afternoon, ok.
He/she will give you good results, and you avoided mortality.

The solution is that when you want, to contain the pigs, the important thing is that they have to have a common scent, since its biggest quality in the pig is the smell, before containing them it disinfects the enclosure, and the same thing with each pig a good bathroom sanitarium, and they are all with the same scent and they are already of the group, you will see that the fights will end, we are speaking of healthy pigs and not of some that has some illness or you him this manifesting, since the hormones produce new scents, waiting to be cooperated, I Greet you, Attn.

it is important that when gathering pigs coming from different groups, be in an empty corral that none owner of the territory sits down, in case the attack is carried out in particular against one, my experience indicates me that for some reason these they are being able to pass of corral, I believe that with a good handling of the registrations of each corral you will be able to find the problem.
I wait he/she helps you something.
