Environmental impact from pigs finished under different housing and feeding systems: 1. liquid versus dry feeding in fully slatted and straw-bedded housing
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 November 2017
Extract
There is a need to identify pig finishing systems that meet the requirements of both pig producers and society. These require that a system is economically efficient, but also takes due account of animal welfare, food safety and environmental considerations. As part of an integrated investigation, this study assessed the environmental implications (gaseous emissions and waste output and composition) of giving pigs either dry or liquid feed, when housed in either fully-slatted or straw-based accommodation.
