Слайды и текст этой презентации
Слайд 3Boar genetics
Genetics with elevated virility
Slobbery
Stinky
Vasectomized or epididymectomized (ways we make
them sterile)
Handlers must remember that boars still have instincts of
an intact boar, to reproduce 
Слайд 4Reproductive instinct
Boars are needed for heat checking, but their instinct
can make them try to breed
That is when people get
hurtBoar tusks are razor sharp
Boars can be large and strong and can knock handlers down
Safety precautions
Use smart safety precautions when interacting with powerful, unpredictable mature boars
Слайд 5Boars
Powerful animals with strong instincts and should be handled with
this in mind
Use caution
Boars should never be treated as pets
Слайд 6Boar pheromones
Send signals to the female
“Are you in heat?”
Boar instincts
Fight
each other for breeding rights
Use tusks as their primary weapon
Слайд 7Handlers must respect
The pigs
Their instincts
Their behavior cues
Example: The boar is
frothing and cocking his head sideways
This is an indicator of
Aggression
Foul
mood
Слайд 8Observation of behavior is critical when
Attaching tethers and lead rope
Moving
boars with motorized equipment
Using a sort board is critical when
Containing
the boar Moving the boar
Слайд 9The boar’s instinct is to remove obstacles that would block
him from females
Legs look like obstacles
Board looks like a barrier
Even
boars which are trained to be lead for heat check can be unpredictableHandlers must
Be cautious
Be on guard
Слайд 10Training boars
Essential to human safety
Human interaction is very important early
on
More positive interaction at a young age easier to
handle later on
Слайд 11Examples of positive interaction
Allowing them to come up to you
Scratching
behind their ears
Walking their pen calmly
Walking them calmly up and
down a hallway
Слайд 12Boar interaction time
Farms must schedule time for young boar’s interaction
Investing
time in young boars on farm
Increases ease of boar training
laterIncreases safety
Слайд 13Training boars to lead
The first step is getting them accustomed
to the harness
Stay alert when harnessing boars through stall bars
Sudden
movements by the boar could pin a handler between the boar and stall and cause injury
Слайд 14Harnesses
Harnesses are made to fit multiple sizes of boars
When boars
become accustom to a harness at a young age
They associate
the harness with positive experiencesThey are easier to harness when they are 400-800 pounds
Слайд 15Harness the boar in an open pen
Make the harness loose
It
is something new
It may be uncomfortable at first
As the boar
gets comfortableTake the slack out of the harness to create a more snug fit
A comfortable harness is critical to avoid
Fighting
Coming out of harness while heat checking
Слайд 16Boars can easily be trained by
Voice commands
Treats
Example
Make the same sound
each time a boar performs an action
The boar will do
the action just by hearing the commandConsistency will make handling easier
Слайд 17With the harness attached
Provide tension by a lead rope
The boar
will
Try to move forward and possibly resist
Over time he will
learn his limitationsThe aisle is a good place to train, because it gives him little area to turn around
Слайд 18Rewards
Some systems reward boars once they have completed the process
Some
farms find that allowing opportunities to ejaculate ensures calmer, safer
boars during heat checkingSome veterinarians will prescribe pharmaceuticals
Other farms allow heat check boars to breed cull sows or by collecting the boars
Follow you farm’s protocol regarding allowing or stimulating boar ejaculation opportunities
Слайд 19Do not wait until the boar is used to the
harness to start training
For boars between 50 to 250 pounds
In
an open penLet the boar come to you
Gradually pet
Scratch behind its ears or back
Make the boar comfortable around humans
Walk two boars together
Mix different boars together
Reward with scratches or treats when behavior is calm
Слайд 203. When they wear a harness
Get them used to being
led by a human, boar bot, or boar limo
Its important
to take them out with other mature heat check boarsGet them used to their task
Слайд 21Never let boars mount females or males when being led
or trained
Take boars into pens of gilts
Teach them to respond
to cues to moveAround the pen
Out of the pen
Into the next pen
Ideally choose gilts larger than the boar
Mounting is easier to deter with larger females
Слайд 22Training a boar
It is easier to train a boar when
you’ve interacted with that boar from a young age
It is
not always possible, because often replacement boars are deliveredMature
With a load of select gilts
Often raised in gilt grow-out barns
No early training is done
Слайд 23Interaction with boars
Its important to start positively interacting with these
boars shortly after delivery
Schedule time to get them used to
elevated human interaction Train them to be accustomed to the harness
Слайд 24Here are some things to consider
Walk the pen once a
day
Spend time with each boar
Get them to respond to movement
cues
Слайд 25Walk them up and down
the alleyway
At a calm pace
Groups of one or two
Stop them occasionally in front of a pen of gilts
Get them used to being content to wait until they are allowed to move again
Get them accustomed to the harness
Put the harness on
If individually stalled, leave it on overnight
Слайд 26Take them in and out of gilt pens
Train them to
respond to cues from you
Take a sorting board and interrupt
any attempt to mount
Слайд 27Boars when heat checking
Are trained not to mount females
When exposed
to gilt pens, handlers need to know what to do
when a boar does tries to mount a femaleEasiest when boars are smaller than the females
Use a sort board to gently/persistently discourage them
Boars may be persistent
Depending on the boar’s size and temperament
Sometimes it is safe to interfere
Sometimes it is not
What is the safest way to handle the situation?
Слайд 28In a heat checking scenario
The boar
Is calmly walking the
pen
Is interacting with females
The handler
Able to heat checking females
It
is a calm heat checking experienceWould you feel comfortable in this environment?
Слайд 29Most would feel comfortable, but a handler cannot forget
This is
a boar
They can be unpredictable
Do I have what I need
to be safe if he reverts to his instinct instead of his training?
Слайд 30To block the boar from mounting
Place the sort board safely
between the handler and female
Gently remove the boar
Do not used
the sort board as a weaponUse only as a safety tool
Слайд 31This is not a task for
Someone new or unfamiliar with
the individual boars and their behaviors
If the handler is uncomfortable
with the boar and the situation allow the boar to breed a female in the pen and then remove him from the pen
Слайд 32Remember when working with boars that they
Have tusks
Are large in
size
Have strong instincts telling them to get to the gilt
Always
use a sort boardDANGER
Слайд 33Animal handling devices
Boar harnesses
Boar bots
Boar limos
It is important that handlers
are well-trained in using these devices for safe heat checking
of female pigs
Слайд 34Boar bot
Used to lead boars during heat checking
Safety device
No
worries about human interaction
Must train the boar
Слайд 35Boars are not pets, they are powerful animals that can
be
Unpredictable
Aggressive
Injuries occur when a normally docile boar catches a handler
off-guardDo not
Turn your back on a boar
Walk near the boar’s head
Stay away from the tusks
Слайд 36What does the staff have to do to ensure safety
when working with boars?
Never go into a pen alone
Never startle
a boar, let them know your comingKnow your animal
Learn signs that indicate when they are irritated
Слайд 37
Normally a handler will heat check with one boar at
a time, this is the safest way to work with
a boarHowever, some farms use boars in pairs
Boars paired for a task need to be
Used to each other
Used to the job
Load or attach boars to equipment one at a time to prevent opportunities for them to fight
Слайд 38Boars
Are naturally competitive
It takes training to get two boars to
work together during heat checking
Increases competitiveness
Increases potential aggression towards each
otherIncreases competition for the females
Problems arise when
Two sets of people heat checking in pens lose track of each other
Boars meet in the hallway
Слайд 39Use caution in these situations
When walking a boar past another
boar’s pen
Always have a boar properly secured to avoid fights
If
you farm’s protocol is to use a boar led by a boar bot, or a trailer boarBoars need to be used to each other and their job
Requires training
Слайд 40If boars start fighting
It could be a dangerous situation
A handler
may be tempted to break-up the fight
Sometimes doing nothing is
your safest choice
Слайд 41Farms sometimes make the mistake
Getting too attached to boars
Keeping boars
too long
As boars get older
Their size increases to dangerous proportions
Their
tusks growThey become very strong
They become more unpredictable
Слайд 42A boar that has behaved
Inappropriately
Unexpectedly
With aggression towards a human
Must be
culled
Слайд 43
You cannot risk having unpredictable, sometimes aggressive boars on-farm
A boar
replacement plan is essential to safety
Слайд 44Safety
A priority when it comes to interacting with boars
Boars can
cause serious injuries
Only interact with boars after being properly trained
aboutBoar behavior
Safety tools necessary for proper boar handling
