EURCAW-Pigs reviews

Each EURCAW-Pigs review provides background information on the biological relevance of the welfare topic. It then presents the most important key areas to focus on during welfare inspections, describes why welfare issues occur and lists specific animal-based indicators that can help official inspectors to identify these welfare issues. Finally, the review summarizes ways of good and better practices that can help to solve the previously described welfare issues, and deals with related legislative requirements. EURCAW-Pigs produces its reviews according to internationally accepted scientific standards, which include an external peer review process. However, it cannot accept liability for any damage resulting from the use of the results of this study or the application of the advice contained in it.
