A final comprehensive progress report on pig welfare assesses achievements, persistent challenges, and strategic priorities for the coming years to build on the welfare advances of recent years.
The final comprehensive pig welfare progress report acknowledges genuine achievements while maintaining honesty about the scale of remaining challenge. Progress on enrichment enforcement, stunning alternatives, and welfare measurement represents real improvement for millions of pigs. The remaining challenge - extending these improvements to the global majority of pig production - requires sustained strategic effort across regulatory, market, scientific, and cultural dimensions. The welfare of 1.4 billion pigs annually demands nothing less than this sustained ambitious effort.
