To improve #farm work efficiency a 5S lean programme was developed as an introduction to #leanmanagement. This led to a programme of continuous improvement underpinned by lean principles across the entire business. https://t.co/pHIUJ9g7lW @TeagascPig #h2020 @EIPAGRI_SP #precision

The calculated carbon footprint (CF) using #Rypsiporsas on this farm is lower than that of #pigs raised in other parts of Europe with feed containing soybean meal. To calculate the CF this #bestpractice from Finland uses the #Biocode tool https://t.co/ZCQxsI8DKn #precision #h2020

The increase in #pigs born per sow (Hyperprolific #sows) has caused various production issues. For both sow prolificacy & parity an average piglet weight to target is calculated. This #bestpractice from France uses the 'Kalinat index' https://t.co/EZ6gnSJCRv #animalwelfare #H2020

[EU PiG @EU_PiG]

#Pigs have an optimum temperature at which they thrive. Temperatures across the EU can exceed that level causing stress & lowering productivity. This #bestpractice uses a system that produces high pressure fog to lower the temperature https://t.co/It6Kt7RE2a #animalwelfare #h2020

#Pig breeders in the #Kintoa region of France have chosen the specifications required to enable the production of a high value-added product by protecting a living heritage the #Basque #Pork breed while preserving its territory https://t.co/HX2YBncA7g @inaporc #meatquality #H2020

Berkhout Meat's goal is that the end user buys a tasty & familiar piece of meat that meets & even exceeds their expectations directly from the producer! Take a look at this #bestpractice from the Netherlands to see how they do it.

To overcome high levels of #pleurisy and #pericarditis in #pigs this #bestpractice in Ireland used a dashboard system to look at various production & management parameters. Use of slaughter data to improve health outcomes https://t.co/qc3t9FInuk #animalhealth #H2020 @TeagascPig

It's #WorldFoodDay!
Most Europeans think that providing safe and healthy food is a priority, and so do we! #animalhealth #meatquality #animalwelfare #precisionproduction

[World Organisation for Animal Health @WOAH]
