Happy as a pig in mud! 🐷We've all heard the phrase but do you know why pigs are happy in mud? Pigs don't have functional sweat glands so, to cool down, they need prolonged moisture. Mud keeps the pig's skin wet longer than just water, so they can "keep their cool" much longer.
For all pigs raised to G.A.P.'s Outdoor Access (Step 3) animal welfare standards and higher, we require that pigs have outdoor enrichments like wallows, outdoor sprinklers, and showers. Just one more way our standards positively impact the lives of farm animals. Want to know more about our pig standards? Check them out here >>> https://globalanimalpartnership.org/standards/pig/.
