| dc.description.abstract | The goal of the Thesis was a comparison of pig husbandry systems used in Norway and
the EU, with focus on the differences between indoor and outdoor keeping. Research
concerning the different systems in use, is based on answers from a questionnaire sent
out to both large- and small-scale pig farmers.
The farmers all would agree that the welfare of the pigs where of the greatest
importance. How to maintain this goal was not as simple to answer. The general opinion
on the use of environmental enrichments where positive, with almost all the farmers
answering that they to some extent tried to use this at their own farms. | en_US |
