The new space allowances for weaners and rearers specified by Schedule 3 of the Welfare of Livestock Regulations 1994 (implementing EC Directive 91/630) come into force in the UK on 1 January 1998. The Welfare of Livestock Regulations 1994 also include the ban on close confinement stalls and tethers which come into effect on 1 January 1999. In answer to requests from pig producers, the Agriculture Departments of England, Scotland and Wales have produced guidelines on the enforcement of provisions on space requirements set out in this legislation.
