We'll tell you about the Tosh Group's strategy for intensive pig production: use of technology, rigorous biosecurity, efficient nutrition, and high performance with few personnel.

Summer is no time to wing it. The consequences of mistakes during this season are immediate and can be devastating.

Individual precision feeding (IPF) seeks to provide each animal with the exact amount of nutrients required daily.

Individual precision feeding facilitates the use of alternative feedstuffs, such as forage, agro-industrial by-products, and others, by allowing them to be provided according to each animal's consumption and growth.

Making the right choice is not just a matter of cost, but also of strategic vision and risk management.

We visited the CDPQ, Centre de développement du porc du Québec, a commercial farm that operates under a unique collaborative model focused on research.

Precision electronic feeding has become one of the key technologies for improving efficiency and sustainability on farms.

Construction costs in France stabilize: up 0.7% in a year, following several years of continuous increases.

The livestock farms associated with the project evaluate and verify the improvement measures proposed in the plans based on the ClassyFarm self-assessment questionnaires.

The Chamber of Agriculture of Brittany suggests using cameras to analyze the behavior of our pigs and to correct the factors that limit their performance.

This second article from the WelfarePIGnet project describes practices for improving pig access to feed and drinking water, including the costs of implementing them.

We need a container for syringes, needles, medicine bottles, sprays, and markers. Sometimes you see improvised and inadequate containers on farms, but the one presented here is very simple and functional.

Pigs are particularly vulnerable to heat stress due to their limited ability to dissipate body heat and genetic selection for higher productivity, which has reduced their heat tolerance. Improved technical results increase heat production, and today's lines produce 30% more heat than those in the 1980s.

Implementing precision feeding through the use of electronic feeders improves sow and piglet performance while providing economic, environmental, and animal welfare benefits.

This is how one of the Tosh Pork farms in the United States works, combining technology, production efficiency, and social commitment. In this first article, we present the structure, work culture, and overview of U.S. swine production.

How does heat stress affect our pigs? This four-part question-and-answer series will give us an in-depth understanding of this key aspect of pig production.
