Abstract

Extensive free range system is the alternative technology, which was recommended for Prestice Black-Pied pigs (PBP) – Czech autochthonous breed. It based on seasonal grazing with feed supplementation consisted of the complete feed mixtures from domestic components.
In this system PBP pigs showed higher average daily weight gain and better feed conversion ratio then indoor control group. The product from free range system was characterized by better fatty acid composition and higher level of vitamin E. Higher content of intramuscular fat has been found in the pork from outdoor free range group with lower supplementation of crude protein. This alternative technology is recommended for small to middle farms preferably with the own feed production.
