Summary

Organic pig farming systems need improvements for a safe working environment. Manual feeding and watering in mobile systems pose higher injury risks compared to semi-automatic methods.

Area of Science:

  • Agricultural Science
  • Occupational Health and Safety
  • Environmental Science

Background:

  • Outdoor pig systems are gaining traction for their potential benefits to animal welfare and resource efficiency.
  • Assessing the working environment within these systems is crucial for farmer well-being and system sustainability.
  • This study is part of a larger initiative focused on optimizing outdoor pig production.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and health conditions of the working environment in organic growing-fattening pig systems.
  • To identify specific areas requiring improvement within different outdoor pig housing types.
  • To contribute strategies for enhancing both animal and human well-being in pig farming.

Main Methods:

  • Field studies were conducted on six Swedish farms utilizing mobile and stationary outdoor pig systems.

  • The Work Environment Screening Tool (WEST) and a modified version, WEST-agriculture (WEST-AG), were employed for assessment.
  • The screening covered six key factors of the working environment, with results quantified in WEST-AG and WEST points (economic risk assessment).

    • Main Results:

    • Manual feeding and watering in mobile systems presented significantly higher risks of injury and ergonomic load compared to semi-automatic methods.
    • Specific health-risk areas within the assessed working environments were identified.
    • The study provided quantitative data (SEK per thousand working hours) on the economic impact of health risks.

    Conclusions:

    • Organic growing-fattening pig systems require targeted interventions to mitigate occupational health and safety risks.
    • Transitioning to semi-automatic feeding and watering systems, particularly in mobile setups, can reduce injury and ergonomic load.
    • The findings offer valuable insights for improving the overall working environment in diverse outdoor pig production models.
