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.
