Alternatives to Sow Gestation Stalls Researched at Iowa State
AMES, IOWA - Keeping sows in individual stalls during pregnancy is coming under increasing scrutiny. Smithfield Foods plans to phase-out the use of gestation stalls. Burger King announced it will stop buying pork from suppliers who use the stalls, and McDonald's said it wants to reduce or eliminate the amount of pork it buys from companies that use them. The stalls have been banned in Florida, Arizona and the European Union.
