SusPig: Sustainability of Pig Production Through Improved Feed Efficiency (SCF0212)
What the buyer wrote
This study aims to enhance sustainability of European pig production through improved feed efficiency (FE) at different scales. The supporting objectives are to 1) Evaluate the consequence of improved FE for fitness, to improve animal robustness; 2) Evaluate if improved FE can be sustained with more reliance on local feed resources and feedstuff co-products; 3) Evaluate the environmental, social and economic impact of improved FE on local feed resources and feedstuff co-products; and 4) To develop future sustainable pig production systems. We approach this by: 1) Evaluation of robustness traits in experimental and commercial pigs; 2) Evaluation of FE and robustness in response to feedstuff c…
