How Trained Farm Sows Use Designated Buckets

This video shows three adult female pigs (sows) standing on a hardened concrete courtyard in a rural farmyard. Each sow positions herself over a separate plastic bucket where she urinates on command. The entire process happens calmly and routinely without human assistance during filming.

Why do they use these buckets?

Trained routine: Farmers condition the pigs by always placing feed near the buckets after urination. Pigs quickly associate using the bucket with immediate rewards.

Natural preference: Pigs naturally avoid soiling sleeping/feeding areas. Buckets placed away from their shelter satisfy this instinct.

Herd learning: When one pig uses a bucket successfully, others copy the behavior. Trained sows (like these) teach new pigs through demonstration.

Practical benefits for small farms:

Cleaner environment - Urine gets collected before soaking into soil

Labor reduction - No need for daily pen washing

Waste recycling - Collected urine fertilizes crops after simple treatment

Training takes 7-10 days:

① Restrict water access for 2-hour periods

② Lead pigs to buckets at predictable intervals (especially after waking)

③ Give high-value treats (like apple pieces) only after bucket use

No special equipment needed – regular feeding buckets work perfectly for sows over 6 months old.
