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.

This farmer's solution mitigates the effect of wind blowing through the windows, whether we have mechanical or natural ventilation.

What can we do to face the challenges in the industry? Innovate, research, and bring science closer to the field.

What can produce an increase in the feed conversion ratio and worsen average daily gain without altering mortality?

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.

If we combine air with some cool water it is possible to lower the ambient temperature by a few degrees.

We went to visit an Italian farm where the sows are free housed in the farrowing room. We asked some questions to better understand the system.

Increased demands for production, welfare, traceability; more animals per worker... It is clear that technology will play a key role in helping us face these challenges. What are the main advantages and challenges of these advances?
