Impacts
- The committee's work on floor space allowances for nursery and grow/finish pigs was favorable by pork producers and equipment/building manufacturers and has influenced housing recommendations for pigs.
- The committee's work on variability of pig weights within groups and ways to manage that variability has impacted pork production systems.
