Our research projects
Fertipur
Purification of slurry to obtain organic fertilisers for crop fertigation
Fertipur minimises the impact of agricultural and livestock activities as it takes advantage of a resource generated in pig farming, such as slurry, and prevents the excessive use of mineral fertilisers. Fertipur contributes to the reduction of the environmental footprint of both fertiliser production and pig farming.
Varintracam
Nutritional strategies during swine gestation
The objective of the project is to develop a feeding system for the breeding sow to reduce intra-litter variability of piglets at birth and reduce mortality.
