Traumatism
Traumatisms are conditions that we will constantly see in the pig farms. Most of them are preventable by means of a good handling. Frequent examples of traumatisms in a farm would be skin erosions (frequently due to scratches with a too abrasive floor or with the crates), fractures, infections of the joints, the lesions due to the biting of tails, ears or other parts of the body, etc.
