| The production of organic pork in Sweden has increased. For several years, however, demand has been greater than production. An important factor contributing to the limited production is a lack of knowledge and experience of outdoor pig systems, since they are uncommon in Sweden. This study compared the behaviour of fattening pigs in two different organic produc¬tion systems, with the main focus on excretory behaviour. In both the mobile and the stationary system there was an uneven distribution of manure and urine in the pens. In the mobile system, the hotspots were in the hut area and in part of the drinking area, while in the stationary system, the concrete pad as well as the wallowing area and the first section of the transporta¬tion area seemed to be... |

| The objectives of this study were to quantify fluxes and balances of N, P, K, Cu and Zn in two organic fattening pig outdoor systems, to quantify the load of nutrients in different sub-areas through behavioural studies of defecation and urination and to make an environmental risk assessment. The study forms part of a larger project with the aim of identifying a joint strategy. The outdoor area balance was calculated for N, P, K, Cu and Zn. Total calculated amounts of N, P, K, Cu and Zn in manure were distributed between outdoor sub-areas according to ratios determined in behavioural studies of defecation and urination and by manure mapping. Some proposals for improving the nutrient management and decreasing the negative environmental impact in different... |
