A new method of faeces collection in the pig.
A new faeces collection method for pigs has been developed which allows collection of faeces into a plastic bag. This new method greatly reduces faecal losses and thereby permits virtually complete collection of faecal material. The method can be applied easily and causes less discomfort to the animals than previous methods.
