Smithfield Foods Inc. has released a series of pork production videos online, giving consumers a behind-the-scenes look at production at the company’s Murphy-Brown livestock production facility in North Carolina. The videos are available on the company’s website, as well as YouTube and SchoolTube.
The seven videos, which run from three to 10 minutes each and were shot at facilities across the U.S., show how piglets begin their life on a sow farm, moved to a nursery farm, and then to a finishing farm, reports the Associated Press. Some of the commentary for the series was provided by animal handling expert Temple Grandin, a professor of animal science at Colorado State University.
