This is the result of a public-private partnership aimed at mitigating the risk of exotic, emergency, and diseases controlled by the official vet services entering Brazil to protect the national swine herd.
Climate changes have forced governments around the world to enforce legislation to reduce the carbon footprint from all parts of society including pig production.
Development of pig production towards large integrators and the spread of highly lethal diseases, such as ASF, have led to increased focus on biosecurity and methods to protect the assets associated with large pig units.
It is a matter of considering animal welfare, workplace ergonomics, respect for the environment, and societal expectations.
Scheduling certain tasks, monitoring spare parts stock, checking electrical elements - what does proper maintenance management consist of?
Since 1998, IFIP has had an experimental farm located in Romillé, Brittany, France, which allows them to run all types of trials at all stages of production.

Artificial intelligence is not a passing fad in the swine industry but an ongoing revolution that is redefining the industry.
The working collective units and processing methods at the European level have been inventoried by country and by process.
The evolution of multi-site pig production over the last 25 years has not held true to its original intent.
What can we do to face the challenges in the industry? Innovate, research, and bring science closer to the field.
Many farm design parameters have changed. Animal welfare has become even more important and genetic evolution has resulted in productive variation between breeds.
The application of BATs to optimize the management of slurry inside the barns means increasing the frequency of emptying the pits to the outside storage.
Today's swine industry depends on a supply of properly balanced feed, the quality and safety of which are critical to pig health, welfare, and maximum productive performance.
Eight years ago, Granja Capdevila Torrent Ramaders started up its biogas production plant using co-digestion and is now an example of economic viability and sustainability.
Spain is the first EU country to legislate the installation of video surveillance systems in slaughterhouses, following the example of England, Scotland, and Israel.
This article describes different techniques that can be applied, in order of priority, to prevent NH3 and CH4 emissions.
In this first article on emissions, Xavier Flotats explains how the main greenhouse gases and ammonia are generated on our farms.
Medicating water using a tank is an easy and flexible method used to administer drugs, but it can be imprecise if the products we use aren’t totally soluble.
This award recognizes farms that excel in the areas of quality, biosecurity, health, animal welfare, and reducing environmental impact.
This article provides an example of the cost per ton of CO2 saved by reducing direct greenhouse gas emissions through daily slurry removal and anaerobic digestion.
Quality is essential for the sustainability, reliability, and profitability of any company. In pig production, we can also apply the integral concept of quality starting with the purchase of raw materials and feed.
This innovative ramp designed by Hylife improves piglet welfare and reduces physical strain on farm workers during the weaning process.
We went to visit Piggly, a sustainable farm from an environmental, production, animal welfare, and economic perspective.
A very simple and functional panel for moving pigs in finishing barns.
Which environmental factors can affect the feed conversion ratio? Enric Marco talks about the effects of temperature and humidity.... they can make us lose money.
This system uses a small air stream at the sow's nose to improve her thermal comfort.
Using solar energy to evaporate part of the water from the slurry can be of interest, avoiding volatization of ammonia. Solar drying can be combined with other strategies.
Slaughterhouses and cutting companies plan to automate their production lines but face numerous constraints that complicate implementation...
Removing nitrogen from slurry by transforming it into N2 can be done biologically or by physical-chemical methods, the latter of which are in the experimental phase for slurry.
