Determining which hogs are fit for transport is even more important in cold weather. The Fitness for Transport Fact Sheet outlines categories:
✅ Fit for transport without restrictions – Hogs that are healthy and able to endure the journey.
✅ Fit for transport with special provisions – Animals that require additional care, such as bedding, spacing, or ventilation adjustments.
✅ Unfit for transport – Pigs that are injured, weak, or compromised should never be transported in extreme cold.
💡 Cold Weather Protocols:
✔ Use proper trailer panels and bedding to maintain warmth.
✔ Follow Transport Quality Assurance (TQA) guidelines to reduce stress and prevent losses.
