   Tail biting - Why do pigs bite tails?

   Why do pigs bite tails? That is a topic that is still very badly understood – it’s one of the multifactorial problems. Increasingly, however, it becomes clear that gut health also has a role to play in this web of cause and effect. In this podcast, Dr Franz Lappe of Vivet veterinary practice in Germany, and Dr Cecilie Kobek-Kjeldager, Aarhus University, Denmark, explain their views on this topic.

   Why employees stay

   A very relevant question in the pig industry: Why do employees stay? And why would they decide to leave? It’s all about paying enough attention to these matters – and it is exactly this type of question that got the interest of emeritus professor Larry Firkins, attached to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He is a veterinarian who developed a special interest in management matters and how culture in a pig-related work environment can help building a more pleasant work atmosphere. He will discuss this matter with host Vincent ter Beek, editor of Pig Progress.
