- "As a veterinarian, one of the things I'm most proud of would be the way that we are watching out for the animals," says Dr. Ross Kiehne of Minnesota in this Vets On Call series video. "We are the guardians of the welfare of the animals first and foremost."
Dr. Kiehne's clients in Minnesota, Iowa and beyond, range from small farms of 8-10 pigs "for show at the fair," to farms that raise up to 30,000 sows at a time or 650,000 pigs a year. One of his clients is the farm run by his father and brother. In this video, Dr. Kiehne takes us on a tour.
Dr. Kiehne left home to study at the University of Minnesota, and returned home to practice veterinary care and science at farms throughout the region. He explains that modern farms like his Dad's invest significant time and resources to protect the health of the herds. "The facility allows us to control the environment so that they have the best environment they can with the right temperature and the right air," says Kiehne, so the animals are comfortable on even the coldest days of winter and hottest days of summer.
The farm is also committed to sustainability. The corn feed is all locally grown, milled and balanced with the right vitamins and minerals to support the animals' health. "We have healthier animals today than we've ever had," states Kiehne, "and I feel safer food, safer pork -- for people to eat -- than we've ever had."

You look forward to looking in on the pigs every single day... Does that include the moments of their very LAST day???
Just look into their faces to see the sentience and intelligence. I wonder how many animals would say kill me.
Pigs are unclean to eat
I'm there for my pigs deaths. They are happy clear up to the time they die. It's farming, it's survival, and it's life. Plants are living organisms also. Quit being hippocrits.
They are happy, so you steal that away from them? Since when does having a happy life mean they want that life taken away from them? Plants are not sentient beings. They don't value their lives. That's like comparing breaking a branch to breaking a cat's leg, or comparing stepping on a flower to stomping on a child's face. Come on, you know there's an ethical difference between harming someone who feels pain and emotions and harming a non-sentient plant.
Please stop harming pigs. They are not "your" pigs. They belong to themselves. They have the right to own their own bodies. They are not "things" for our use.
And no it's not survival. We don't need animal products to live. We can get all essential nutrients as a vegan. It's killing for pleasure, profit, convenience, and habit.
There here to clean the Earth
There not food
