Validation of on-farm pig welfare indices
The current project was performed to examine the external validity and intra- and inter-observer reliability of three modified animal-based welfare indices and their modified methodologies recommended for a simpler and more practical on-farm assessment of body condition, lameness and injury in group-housed pigs. Once validated, the modified welfare indices will be able to be included in the practical on-site pig welfare benchmarking tool.
