Pig

Yofrahoeve in Esch keeps pigs. This location holds the EKO certification.

Frank and Yolanda van Wagenberg received an award from the animal welfare group Wakker Dier for their organic pig farm. These images show the rear barn, where the mother pigs are impregnated and the males are individually confined. The mother pigs are biting their rods out of boredom, and one boar has a foot defect.

  • Investigation

    The Ongehoord research team visited no fewer than 26 pig farms. The result was a huge collection of injured, sick, and dead animals. At one organic farm, stereotypical behavior and leg defects were filmed.
