15 In Denmark, approx. 60% of the feed for finishers and sows and 32% of weaner feed is mixed on-farm

16 DKr. (1000) per Ha Financial crisis struck hard! Price on farm land

17 We have 99% grouphousing

18 Freedom farrowing Improved welfare for sows Increased milk uptake for piglets More even piglets at weaning Better motivation of staff Improve public image 10 per cent of the sows will be loose housed within 10 years without legislation

19 Economy Piglet mortality Freedom farrowing All sows/ few sows Size of pens Hygiene - if partly solid floor Safety for staff Expectations of staff Education of staff Significant increase in herd sizes

22 Piglet and finisher units

23 Rooting and manipulable materials

24 Technical standpoint Grouphousing Top genetics High productivity 40% of the sows in herds with more than 1000 sows. >80% of the sows in herd with more than 500 sows

25 Financial standpoint Financial sector is frozen. Very little capital available for new investments. Landprices are now stable but the price decline was almost 50% the last 5 years. The value lost equals the total farm income for 25 years.

26 Political standpoint Enviromental challenges causing severe problems for slaughterpigproduction Animal welfare discussions of the same kind as in the rest of northern Europe. Major challenges when it comes to the level of cost of external services and wages in the related industri.

27 The enlightened path for the danish pigsector Export of piglets Export of genetics Reduction of the number of slaughtered pigs i DK. The economic pressure will make productivity accelerate
