Fears have also been expressed that the sow herd will shrink when the European Union partial ban on stalls comes fully into effect in 2013.

Producers in other countries may decide to quit also, rather than invest in new sow accommodation. This will lead to a significant shortage of pigs on the continent from 2013 onwards.
