Work instruction 13: Handling gilts

Depending on your policy for humanisation of gilts (see Work Instruction 14) they can have varied levels of trepidation when being handled and managed for the first cycle.
This can start from stimulating all the way through to their first weaning as the surroundings and interactions will be new.
It is important to always think of a gilt as a special case and have that in the front of your mind when handling them.
