Aspectos relevantes del confinamiento sobre el bienestar de las cerdas reproductoras
Resumen
En los últimos años, los consumidores se han involucrado en la manera en que los productores crían a los cerdos y han traccionado cambios en la producción. El confinamiento de las cerdas reproductoras ha sido aceptado debido a las ventajas productivas. Sin embargo, deben afrontar las consecuencias de la restricción de espacio sobre el descanso como así también el estrés causado por la imposibilidad de realizar los comportamientos naturales propios de la especie y el dolor causado por cojeras y lesiones. Asimismo, durante la etapa de gestación las cerdas se ven sometidas a una restricción alimenticia que causa estrés y frustración. A pesar de la reducción del periodo en que las cerdas gestantes se encuentran en jaulas, que dio paso a las gestaciones grupales a partir del día 28 post servicio, se está estudiando disminuirlo aún más. Asimismo, la comunidad científica ha comenzado a estudiar el impacto que tendría sobre el bienestar de reducir el periodo post parto en el cual la cerda debe estar confinada. A fin de establecer cuáles serán los desafíos que deberá asumir la industria porcina, el objetivo de este trabajo ha sido identificar las consecuencias del confinamiento sobre el bienestar de las cerdas reproductoras y brindar una actualización sobre las tendencias futuras.
