Pig

Houbensteyn in Ysselsteyn keeps pigs. This location holds the Beter Leven 1 star certification.

Pigs with wounds, abscesses, respiratory problems, dead pigs, and contaminated tripe. This is evident in the investigation into the Beter Leven Houbensteyn stable in Ysselsteyn, Limburg. With nearly one hundred thousand pigs and €15 million in subsidies, owner Martin Houben is a major player. The investigated location has a viewing stable, allowing visitors to view a small section of the pigs. When the research team visited other parts of the farm, they discovered abuses. The pens do not comply with legal regulations and Beter Leven requirements.
