Individualized Meal Plans
Much like working with your own dietitian or nutritionist, pigs eat based on plans created by highly trained animal nutritionists so they receive the ideal balance of nutrients to help them grow and thrive at every age and stage. These diets are designed to meet the specific needs of a pig’s various life stages, helping them grow and stay healthy.
Highest Level of Care
Pig farmers’ number one priority is to raise safe and nutritious pork for consumers by ensuring their animals are comfortable and well cared for. They do this by:
- providing food, water and an environment that promotes the well-being of animals
- providing proper care, handling and transportation of pigs
- protecting pig health and providing appropriate treatment by licensed veterinarians, as needed

- designating lines of separation dividing the inside, clean area of pig barns from the outside
- keeping up with feed equipment maintenance to prevent spillage that could attract unwanted wildlife
