Colour Coding Treatments - 17th October 2008
Why not colour code your treatments like a finishing pig producer in East Anglia does? Included in the farms treatment protocol each condition/ medical treatment has been given a colour, which the pig will be sprayed with afterwards.
I.e.
Lame="redScour="blueTail bitten="green"
Etc.
That way everyone knows what treatment or illness a
given mark on a pig means, and it makes it reduces misunderstandings between
staff - in particularly when weekends are covered by others than the normal
staff crew.
The system is fully applicable to both breeding and grower/
finisher sites
