Description

The aim of the project is to recommend suitable technologies and the placement of accessories in
farrowing pens for sows and piglets due to the expected transition from cage technologies to
alternative housing in farrowing sows. Another aim is the definition of problematic areas
associated with the introduction of these technologies and the proposal of measures that will
ensure a smooth transition to alternative housing and the competitiveness of breeding after it.
Necessary measures include technological changes, adjustments to herd management and animal
care, as well as increased emphasis on maternal behavior of sows and selection of suitable
animals. The draft measure will also include recommendations for adjustments to supporting and
legislative measures by the state.
