Is it possible to prepare cattle at home in a way that reduces their stress at the slaughterhouse? In a comparison, prepared animals showed lower cortisol levels during slaughter than control animals.

As food waste rises globally, the agricultural sector is faced with balancing livestock feed production and sustainable food systems. FiBL explored the benefits of adding vegetable and fruit scraps to a pig diet to improve animal welfare and resource optimization.

A further reduction in the crude protein content of pig feed is challenging, but possible. This study shows that nitrogen utilisation efficiency can be improved and emissions reduced without compromising performance or meat quality.
