The Wiesenschwein pig system is a completely new concept: neither in Switzerland nor in other countries have animals been kept in this way before. The Wiesenschwein facilities are built in such a way that the pigs can use different free-range areas in a staggered manner, fully automated thanks to the application of state-of-the-art technologies and sophisticated logics.
The innate intelligence of pigs, combined with this system, makes it possible for the first time for farm pigs to fully live out all their needs. Much more than that, the time restriction makes the options much more attractive and varied for the pigs, which visibly pleases the animals. For the first time, a comprehensively exciting and attractive pig life is possible, while at the same time conserving resources and reducing emissions.
In this way, the developers want to fulfill their commitment to the life of each individual farm animal comprehensively and conclusively, without any ifs and buts.
This deep understanding of the pigs and many years of observation made it possible for the development team to invent this kind of lifestock farming in the first place and to continuously improve it for the future. Fair to the animal – good for the farmers – wonderful for the consumers.
