Video: May 2018's winning video: Socializing with piglets in a Manitoba nursery barn

Hog farmer Hardy, from the Rural Municipality of Lorne in Manitoba, submitted May 2018's winning video of his piglets socializing. The video shows an animal care provider in a nursery barn interacting with young pigs, also known as weanlings or nursery pigs. These piglets are about 4 weeks old and live in nursery pens, where they always have access to fresh air, water and feed. Caregivers frequently walk through the nursery pens to make sure the pigs are doing well. Weanlings remain in the nursery barn for five to eight weeks, growing from about 6 kg (13 lb) up to about 26-30 kg (57-66 lb), and are then moved to a feeder barn.
