“On RSPCA Assured farms, the use of farrowing crates is strictly prohibited. Farrowing crates prevent pregnant sows from being able to turn around ad often inhibit from building nests. Around 58 per cent of sows in the UK give birth in farrowing crates. This is a major concern for the RSPCA and something which will never be permitted on RSPCA Assured farms where our RSPCA Assured sausages and bacon comes from.”
