Description

A short video (2:32 min) describing what stereotypes are, why they occur, what they look like in pregnant sows, and ways they can be mitigated. The aim of this dissemination piece is to educate the general public on what stereotypies are and why they are important, as well as provide farmers with mitigation techniques for domestic sows. A video transcript is also provided with in-text citations listed for each slide.
