Unlawful pig farming: Government to phase out use of farrowing crates by 2025 Newshub 16/12/2020 Zac Fleming © Video - Newshub; Image - File Watch: The use of farrowing crates in pork farming will be phased out in five years.
The Government will phase out the controversial use of farrowing crates and mating stalls in pork farming by 2025.
The cages were the focus of a landmark High Court judicial review earlier this year, in which their continued use was found to be unlawful .
About 60 percent of pigs farmed in New Zealand are raised indoors. Most of them are inseminated in cages - mating stalls - and then forced to give birth and raise their piglets in cages - farrowing crates.
