The social acceptance of housing conditions in pig farming is decreasing. There are required housing conditions corresponding to the species-specific behaviors. Diverse label-programs are focusing a pig housing with more animal welfare based on consumer demands and an expectation of a market potential. However, evaluation and recommendation for a functional implementation of methods on the commercial farms are still missing. For the farmers, doubt and the absence of workable solutions are inhibiting the implementation. Resulting, innovative solutions were not implemented on farms yet. Here the OPG wants to intervene with holistic innovative solutions.
