Environmental impacts of pig production systems using European local breeds: The contribution of carbon sequestration and emissions from grazing
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Journal of Cleaner Production"
DOI: 10.1016/j.jclepro.2019.117843
Abstract: Abstract Environmental assessment of pig production systems using local breeds remains poorly documented in the literature. So far, studies did not account for specificities of outdoor rearing which is quite common in such systems. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.livsci.2017.04.004
Abstract: Abstract A key objective of organic pig production is the use of feedstuffs originating entirely from organic and also, if possible, from in house or local production, respectively. However, the supply of protein for the… read more here.

Risk Factors for African Swine Fever in Smallholder Pig Production Systems in Uganda
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Transboundary and Emerging Diseases"
DOI: 10.1111/tbed.12452
Abstract: Smallholder pig production in Uganda is constrained by poor management and high disease burden, with African swine fever (ASF) being one of the most important contributors. However, data to develop appropriate evidence-based disease mitigating interventions… read more here.
