Low Stress Pig Handling provides training that makes moving pigs easier and less stressful for both handlers and pigs.

Pig Handlers VideoView Video  
We have been teaching Low Stress Pig Handling since 2000 through conference presentations, workshops, onsite coaching, and training videos.
 

Handlers who had trouble moving pigs prior to this training frequently report needing 25-50% less time to do the same tasks using Low Stress Pig Handling methods. Many have reduced or eliminated activated electric prod use. 

Listen to Nancy's interviewOur clients report:

  • reduced workplace injuries
  • better workplace morale and reduced staff turnover
  • reduced trim and death losses
  • ability to pass third party packing plant welfare audits


At the request of our transport clients, DNL Farms' Low Stress Pig Handling Course for Truckers is now available online. Trucking company trainers can register as facilitators to direct and monitor the progress of their trainees.

A good high speed connection is required for this course as video is used throughout. We demonstrate: factors that affect pig movement in the trailer, animal welfare audit requirements that apply to truckers, and Low Stress Pig Handling methods being used to load and unload all sections of a pot belly trailer.  Access this course at www.dnlfarmstraining.com

Trucker Quality Assurance Advisor
"As a TQA® advisor, I really value the concepts that Nancy explains to handlers. When the movement is easier for the pigs, it is much more enjoyable for the people as well."
