Abstract

The intensive production of pigs requires attention to the effects of the production on the environment (slurry production, mineral excretion and ammonia volatilization), the quality of the product, the health and welfare of pigs, and the working circumstances of the farmer. An integrated approach to these items is necessary to achieve sustainable, safe and economic production. The constraints of integrated pork production and possible solutions are described.
