Abstract
Reference is made to animal welfare regulations within the European Union (EU). In this context, fully slatted and straw based systems are looked at in two experiments, each with a dietary and/or environmental component imposed upon it so that comparisons can be made. Full details of each experiment are included and the pros and cons set out. However, definitive conclusions await the follow-up examination of all the data obtained in the current project.
