In Switzerland it is decided to seriously start reducing the use of antibiotics on pig farms. The Dutch are famous for the extensive cattle breeding but lately also for the reduction of antibiotics use. Since a few years they are even trying to achieve the antibiotics free breeding of cattle.
A knowledge network funded by the Dutch ministry of Economic Affairs has been cooperating with a group of durable pig farmers. Farmer Hans Verhoeven is the initiator and even developed his farm of the future. Through all kinds of technical innovation his farm is close to being antibiotics free. To Verhoeven pigs need a good and clean climate to live in, clear water and a happy life, so they are healthy and no antibiotics are needed.
