Improvement of Animal welfare in pig fattening
Abstract
Within the Animal welfare "BeTI" project initiated by the company Berger improvement of pig welfare on lower Austrian farms is intended. Therefore up to 30 farms will be visited 2-3 times to evaluate animal health and welfare. Based on that farm individual improvement strategies will be identified, implemented and evaluated using animal based parameters. Animal health and welfare planning is essential to summarise the situation and feedback data via benchmarking. Based on that improvement strategies will be identified together with farmers.
