Division 3.4 Feed (for products of animal origin only)

Meat meal may not be fed to the pigs from birth until the end of the growing-finishing phase, and feed prepared from animal material other than milk may not be given to the pigs during fattening.

Feed should preferably be in liquid form or consist of a mash to which water and, where possible, whey are added. To obtain good-quality fat cover, maximum linoleic acid content should be equivalent to 2 % of dry matter in the diet. Whey and buttermilk must not total more than 15 litres/head/day.

‘Buttermilk’ means the by-product of butter production and ‘whey’ the by-product of curds.
