More than 100,000 pigs are backed up on farms because of a shortage of workers in abattoirs and processors. If a mass cull was ordered, would there be enough qualified vets to carry it out? The British Veterinary Association says it would be very challenging.

Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
