Pigs prefer to have a designated potty area. Given a choice they will never soil their lounging area. A piglet can be potty trained at 4-5 weeks, while a dog might take months.

This is a step in the right direction for confined animal operations, but getting rid of them all together would be idea.

Funny how it sounds like american farming - next thing you know they will 'discover' confinement farming! Do you think the greenzies will be so supportive then?
