The buildings used in traditional Bísaro pig farms limit the increase of the herd size per production unit. The aim of this study is to develop, to test and to demonstrate an alternative building system for fattening Bísaro pigs (hoop barn with free access to outdoor) respecting the good production practices, the animal welfare and the environment.
