Two different floor space allowances (1.0 and 1.3 m2/head) were used on forty male Large White pigs from 115 to 160 kg lw (typical Italian heavy pig).From our data it is suggested that a floor space allowance of 1.3 m2/head, i.e. higher than presently recommended for pigs weighing more than 110 kg (1.0 m2/head) , may improve heavy pigs welfare (all pigs can lye at the same time) and does not modify the quality of meat.

Abstract
Two different floor space allowances (1.0 and 1.3 m2/head) were used on forty male Large White pigs from 115 to 160 kg lw (typical Italian heavy pig).From our data it is suggested that a floor space allowance of 1.3 m2/head, i.e. higher than presently recommended for pigs weighing more than 110 kg (1.0 m2/head) , may improve heavy pigs welfare (all pigs can lye at the same time) and does not modify the quality of meat.
