Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated how dietary supplementation with green tea by-products (GTBP) affects blood parameters, growth performance, carcass characteristics, and meat quality in finishing pigs over a 10-week period.
- - Four dietary treatments were tested, including a control diet and three experimental diets with varying GTBP levels, but no significant differences were found in daily feed intake or growth rates; however, backfat thickness decreased with higher GTBP.
- - Results showed that GTBP supplementation improved pork quality by reducing cholesterol and increasing protein and omega-3 content, suggesting it could be beneficial for pig health and meat quality without negatively affecting performance.
Intensification and complexity of pig production systems may require different strategies for animal welfare improvement. We aimed to identify welfare issues of gestation sows and areas for improvement by comparing four production systems, including the smallholder pen-based system (SPS: 26 farms), smallholder stall-based system (SSS:14 farms), semi-intensive stall-based system (SES: 15 farms), and intensive stall-based system (ISS: 10 farms). Ten significant animal-based measures in the Welfare Quality® protocol were used for welfare assessment at the individual level.
