Objectives

The first objective of the project is to compile and compare the zootechnical performances of farms whose sows are housed in groups according to the type of feeding system used.
 
The second objective is to carry out audits in the best farms of each type of feeding system and to note the farm layouts and the exemplary working techniques used.
 
The third objective of the project is to encourage the dissemination of the information collected in order to better prepare farmers for their transition, to help producers who have already made the transition to review their practices and to target the elements of workforce training for working with group-housed sows.
