European pig production is facing increasing expectations for improved animal welfare, while farmers must ensure that changes remain technically, economically and environmentally feasible. The EU-funded WelFarmers project used a bottom-up, multi-actor approach across eight European countries to identify and evaluate practical good practices for pig welfare. This presentation will introduce the WelFarmers methodology and showcase selected practices across four priority themes: loose housing of lactating sows, undocked tails, reduction of pain during castration, and space allowance & flooring. The project’s practical resources for knowledge transfer and farm-level uptake will also be presented
