Objectives
The objective of this Operational Group is to design an exploitation system for the management of extensive pig livestock:
A prospective study of this model is being conducted in other species, such as cattle and horses. The study examines the possibilities of reducing or eliminating animal handling personnel in the various operations where livestock are moved, with the potential to obtain individual responses from the animals. The study also examines the possibilities of reducing the need for closure of entire farms to control animal escapes. A study is conducted on pig behavior based on daily feeding patterns. Finally, the study evaluates the animals' effects on biomass regeneration.
