HOW DOES ANTIBIOTIC USE IN PIGS IMPACT THE CONSUMER A BRIEFING ON THE LINK TO PUBLIC HEALTH CONCERNS OVER DRUG-RESISTANT BACTERIA AND ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION DUE TO HOG WASTE “What are we eating?” As consumers consider their dietary options, this is a common question asked across the country on a daily basis. As the demand for animal protein rises locally and globally at unprecedented rates, more often than not, the question of what are we eating tends to be answered with beef, chicken, or…

phylogenetic aspect of why captive monogastric animals perform abnormal and vice behaviours, with a focus on swine. Phylogenetic characteristics that are going to be examined include breed differences in behaviour, and variations in behaviour between captive pigs and wild boars. The phylogenetic explanation concentrates on genetic inheritance, selection for specific traits, breed influence on behaviour, and species differences. What Are Abnormal and Vice Behaviours and Why Do They Develop?…

The feral hogs, also known as the wild pigs are invasive animals that were introduced to North and South America. The feral hogs were brought to North America primarily by the colonies during their trade from Europe. They were first introduced to the southern part of the United States by the Spanish colonies. However, the feral hogs’ population got out of control and escaped to the eastern part of the US, which led to an increase of their numbers. The population of feral hogs kept increasing,…

Animals have been introduced to habitats unintentionally for years. Hogs and wild pigs were introduced to woodlands and wetlands a long time ago. Although they were introduced a long time ago, they still cause problems to the natural habitat. People need to learn how to deal with hogs and pigs to reduce damage that they can cause. Hogs are nuisances to the habitats that they have invaded. Limiting the hog population is important in protecting the wetlands and woodlands. Hogs are an…

I believe the decrease of wild hogs is necessary for three reasons. The first reason being they carry, and spread disease. The second reason is because they are overpopulated and breed up to three times a year having 12-15 offspring each time. The final reason is they destroy our crops, fields, and the equipment used to maintain them. When hogs are able to roam freely they can spread diseases. Although these infectious diseases may not be harmful to people, they are very dangerous for pets…

Livestock cage laws I am going to prove that the new livestock cage laws are wrong. Gestation crates and farrowing crate are helpful and should not be banded. I believe that no matter what people think there are many benefits by using these pens. I am planning to give the reasons to keep them, and then give the counter thought and why it is weak. New cage laws would harm livestock because when hogs are pregnant, they attack other hogs, mother can also crash their piglets and chickens are in…

Finding the right show pig. Before May 1st you must have bought and the pig must be on your property by that date. Which one people may ask, Barrow or Gilt? It all depends types of person and their passion with the pig. Barrow are pigs that have been castrated and have no hormones like the gilts pigs do. Barrow pig have a tendency to have better performance all the way around and in the show ring. People do not always want barrow as they can’t not be used for anything such as only slaughter…

into the United States. The pigs were brought here so that the settlers would have a ready food supply if need be (Ditchkoff and West 2007). Since then the Eurasian wild boar was brought over as a game species and bred with the domestic swine we now have feral hogs in the United States (Brisbin and Mayer 2009). The first domestic swine that was brought over predated that of the first Eurasian boar by just about fifteen centuries (Brisbin and Mayer 2009). Damage by wild pigs seems to be the…

Introduction European and Asian immigrants came to America with multiple unknown animals. Most of these foreign animals hurt or destroyed the land and the ecosystem. One of these none native animals is known as a wild hog (Suidae). Feral swine (Sus scrofa), often found in the United States, come from a variety of domesticated swine. These include: the Eurasian wild boar and African boar hybrids. The first documented domestic swine was used for food purposes in Hawaii around 750-1000; but it was…

Guinea pigs are unlike most other rodents, they are small and they are easy to take care of. Other animals require a lot more of work but guinea pigs are simple pets to care for. They are easy on your pocketbook meaning that they do not cost that much. Also guinea pigs can adjust to your schedule than other animals. My research will show that the guinea pig evolution, appearance, habitat, lifestyle, and diet and prey make the guinea pig one of the most interesting Rodent to learn about. The…
