An innovative feeding concept is being tested in a new outdoor barn in Rhineland-Palatinate: the feed contains raw fiber carriers such as alfalfa green meal. These have a better swelling capacity and the pigs thus have a longer feeling of satiety. The EIP project is investigating the sows' behavior in terms of animal health and welfare. The initial results show: feed is digested better and there is more peace in the barn. In addition, domestic legumes in the feed substitute GMO soy from overseas.
