Spanish pig farms, the reference for livestock sectors around the world
In the presentation of a round table called 'Where is the design of fattening farms progressing?', which he has also moderated, Herranz has pointed out that the change in the physiognomy, management and organization of Spanish pig farms is one of the most outstanding advances that we have experienced in recent years.
Thus, he recalled that "today, fattening farms talk about digitization, traceability, animal welfare, circular economy, waste management, reduction of emissions into the atmosphere... But, above all, they talk about achieve excellence."
This change has meant that the current white-coated pig production model has nothing to do with the past. "It is a production system that seeks improvement in all areas of the farm and that has made us an international reference for livestock sectors around the world."
