Is indoor housing of finishing pigs permitted?
It is recommended that pigs are fattened on grassland where conditions permit.
The final fattening of pigs for meat production may take place indoors, provided that this indoor period does not exceed one fifth of their lifetime, with a maximum period of three months.
