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.
Therefore, the objective of this project is to contribute to
the development of economically profitable farming systems
for production of high quality organic pork.
