Abstract
Pig feeding in organic farming should be performed according to the principles stipulated by the law. Only legally permitted feed may be used, whereas the antibiotics, coccidiostats, various biostimulators, and genetically modified (GMO) feedstuffs may not be used. In organic pig production, pasture and various voluminous feeds should be used as much as possible, what has the following multiple positive effects: they improve the pig health condition, their research activity and well-being, reduce production costs, and increase the nutritional and sensory properties of the meat.
