Consequently, introduction of organic pig production systems calls for establishment of quality assurance programs that ensure production of high quality pork, as demanded by the organic consumer segment.
The present study was carried out to establish initial guidelines for organic pig producers in the production of high quality pork considering that pen systems with access
to out-door area are going to be the most cost effective systems, and that roughage based on either barley/pea silage or clover/grass silage will be the most dominating in Denmark.
The effect of the tested organic feeding strategies on production results and overall pork quality is compared with equal data from a typical conventional pig production system known to give rise to high quality pork.
