The different types of pig farm

There are 3 main pig rearing systems in France:

  • rearing on slatted floors
  • rearing on straw
  • and free-range.

It is also possible to combine straw and slatted floors, or buildings and outdoor access for the animals.

Pig farmers are divided into two specialities:

  • Naisseur: rearing sows and boars, giving birth to piglets and rearing them until they are weaned;
  • Fattening: rearing piglets until slaughter;

Many farms practise both specialities and are therefore Naisseurs-Engraisseurs.
