A large number of European consumers attach great and increasing importance to animal welfare. European consumers consider it important that farm animals get as little interventions as possible throughout their lives. Castration of male pigs is one of these interventions. The European pig sector takes these signals seriously. Within Boars on the way we are working on solutions to the complex castration issue.
The goal of Boars on the way is to end castration of male pigs within the European Union. This website brings together the knowledge and practical experiences of farmers and companies in the pork supply chain to produce and market entire male pigs.
This website aims to offer an overview of the newest insights on boar management and market acceptance of boar meat. Firstly, an overview of best practices is provided.
