New Release from mEATquality!We’re excited to share our latest Practice Abstract:
"Reducing space density to improve pig growth and welfare."
Less crowding = better welfare and stronger growth.
This research highlights how smarter space management can lead to healthier pigs and higher-quality meat — a win for farmers, animals, and consumers.
Dive into the findings and help us shape the future of sustainable pig farming: https://meatquality.eu/training-materials/
