The pigs are very content. They spend a lot more time out exploring, whereas if it was bare earth they would be in the hut. They are fitter as well. So by having a fitter sow, of course it is going to help her when she comes to give birth and look after a litter. Nutritionally they are getting nothing at all from the grass. They are still getting fed exactly the same levels of feed, so it is just about contentment, fibre and gut-fill. The fibre is improving their gut health. There s another thing we ve become aware of - we always knew the sows ate some of their bedding but we never realised how much. Now they have got as much grass as they want to eat, there is so much less straw needing to be put in the huts. Straw can become scarce and very expensive, so that s another positive.
