Careless Handling of Pigs Concern is felt in many quarters at the prevalence of bruises and weals on various parts of the skin of pigs. Farmers, dealers and carriers should do their utmost to avoid causing skin blemishes, which may bring about the degrading of otherwise prime porker or baconer carcasses. Much can be done by a little more care and patience, the use of a proper yard and loading race, and the absolute prohibition of rough handling, stock whips and sticks. All engaged in the handling of pigs should obtain a copy of the Department’s free bulletin (No. 175) on this subject.
