Following recent updates to its feed line offering, PigTek of Milford, Indiana, has announced new five-year limited warranties on select products.

The company’s anchor bearing, stainless-steel boots, and stainless-steel control units now come with the industry-leading warranties for customer peace of mind.

PigTek’s new anchor bearing (see photo at top of the article), featuring a triple lip seal for superior dust and water protection, now includes the enhanced five-year warranty. The bearing is made in the US, which the company said provides for even greater durability and more reliable sourcing.

Next, PigTek’s stainless-steel boots come with a five-year warranty. The boots were recently updated with solid welded seams, unlike products that are more prone to failure due to weaker spot-welded designs.

T.K. Cheung Lecture in Animal Science: "Using science to assess and improve the welfare of dairy cattle"

Dan Weary is a Professor at the University of British Columbia. Dan did his BSc and MSc at McGill and Doctorate at Oxford before co-founding UBC’s Animal Welfare Program where he now co-directs this active research group. His research focuses on understanding the perspectives of animals and applying these insights to develop methods of assessing animal welfare and improving the lives of animals. His work has helped drive changes in practices (including the adoption of higher milk rations for calves and pain management for disbudding) and housing methods (including the adoption of social housing for pre-weaned calves). He also studies cow comfort and lameness, social interactions among cows, and interactions between cows, human handlers and technologies like automated millking systems that are increasingly used on farms. His presentation will outline key questions in cattle welfare, highlight recent UBC research addressing them, and showcase innovative methods for improving the lives of cattle and their caretakers.
