- aggregation title "Governing animal-human relations in farming practices: the case of group housing of sows in the EU".
- aggregation abstract "Council Directive 2001/88/EC on the protection of pigs required European pig farmers to shift from individual to group housing of gestating sows by 1 January 2013. This legislation was principally designed to enhance the welfare of sows by meeting their needs for locomotion and social contacts with conspecifics. Yet, a shift to group sow housing also affects animal-stockperson relations, which influence animal welfare to an important degree. This raises the questions of how, and with which implications for sow welfare, sow-stockperson relations were transformed in on-farm implementations of group housing systems? And how is and can animal welfare policy be informed by understandings of these on-farm animal-stockperson dynamics? To answer these questions, in this paper I first analyse conceptualisations of interconnections between sow welfare, barn infrastructures and animal-stockperson relations, as implicated in the EU Directive and the scientific advice that informed it. Contending that these conceptualisations overlook co-developments in barn infrastructures and animal-stockperson relations, I subsequently address this conceptual lacuna by introducing an analytical framework that builds on sociological, practice-oriented theories. I then apply this framework to analyse qualitative interviews with 19 pig farmers from Flanders, Belgium on the on-farm introduction of group housing systems. In this analysis, I discern different ways in which farmers’ understandings and experiences of appropriate sow farming practices informed their choices for particular group housing infrastructures, and how these infrastructures in turn co-determined the nature and quality of animal-stockperson interactions. Finally, I conclude with a reflection on implications of these findings for animal welfare policy.".
