New Video: Agrifood By‑Products in Sustainable Pig Production
mEATquality Project
Consumers increasingly value sustainably produced pork - creating new opportunities for more circular pig production. Our new video shows how agrifood by‑products can be successfully integrated into pig diets, helping reduce waste, lower feed costs, and improve resource efficiency.
Within mEATquality, we explore how innovative feeding strategies support sustainability without compromising meat quality - adding value through a stronger sustainability profile and greater consumer trust.

Collaboration for Better Animal Welfare and Meat Quality!

We’re excited to announce that two EU-funded projects – mEATquality and WelFarmers – have joined forces to strengthen communication and share best practices across Europe.

Together, we aim to promote extensive husbandry practices, improve pig welfare, enhance meat quality, and build consumer trust, while supporting sustainable farming and the EU Farm to Fork strategy.

Stay tuned for updates as we work hand in hand to make a lasting impact!

Lower stocking density in pigs: welfare, growth rate, and meat quality
These studies highlight how space and stocking density influence animal welfare, stress physiology, and pork quality.

Enhancing Pig Welfare Through Environmental Enrichment
Discover how organic farming practices can naturally support better pig welfare in our latest video from the mEATquality project.
In organic husbandry, pigs are encouraged to express their natural behaviors - rooting, grazing, and wallowing - which are essential for their well-being. Environmental enrichment isn’t just a recommendation; it’s a requirement under organic standards.
This video highlights practical and cost-effective enrichment strategies, from outdoor pens to agroforestry systems, showing how farmers can meet pigs’ needs while maintaining productivity and sustainability.
