Changes in animal welfare regulations are one of the significant challenges for the future of the pork industry in the coming years. In addition to the new rules on pigs for fattening, with a reduction in densities and modifications in housing conditions (drinkers, feeders, manipulable material, etc.), new proposals are now being added that would affect the transport of live animals.
In this sense, as we published in this ‘Rotecna World’, the Spanish National Association of Live Animal Transporters (ANTA) warns that, with the decrease in densities and schedules proposed by the draft of the ruling, 2.4 more trucks will need to be in circulation per route to comply with the current movement of animals, which will also significantly increase costs for professionals in this sector.
In the business arena, we are just a few weeks away from the celebration of EuroTier 2024 in Hannover (Germany). Once again, we will be at the international fair of reference for our sector. You will be able to find us in Hall 16—stand C05, where we will present the latest innovations of the firm, with a clear commitment to technology and data monitoring. We look forward to meeting the fair’s visitors and customers again. See you at EuroTier!

farms and utilising slurry as fertiliser took place. The event had more than 23 nationally and internationally recognised professionals within the academic agenda, more than 50 brands in a 1,000 m2 venue and a great staging to host the reference meeting for national pig farming.
ELBA 2024 (Xile)
ELBA 2024, the first Latin American Animal Welfare Meeting, was successfully held last July in Santiago, Chile. The conference was an initiative that united suppliers from various areas under a joint mission: “Animal Welfare”. This unprecedented event aimed to provide production animals with real welfare at all stages of their development, life process and slaughter. In addition, it was promised to ensure maximum food safety, responsibility, and

SOMETHING ABOUT
BACUS DE VERDÚ
The Bacus de Verdú Festival is one of the most anticipated events in the festive calendar of this small town in the region of Urgell, in the province of Lleida. Every year, at the arrival of autumn, the streets of Verdú are filled with joy, colour and tradition in a celebration that pays tribute to Bacus, the Roman god of wine and the grape harvest. This festival has established itself as a cultural event of reference in the region, attracting locals and visitors who seek to immerse themselves in the historical and oenological richness of the place.
Origin of the Bacus Party
Verdú has a long winemaking tradition that dates back centuries. Viticulture has been one of the town’s main economic activities, and wine is a central element of its culture. However, in 1983, it was decided to create a festival that would unite this rich wine heritage with Roman mythology, and thus, the Bacus Festival was born.
Wine is at the centre of all activities of this event, which takes place every year, at the arrival of autumn.
In Roman mythology, the god Bacus is known as the patron saint of wine, grapes, fertility, and celebration. His figure has been adopted in Verdú to symbolize the importance of wine in local life and as a tribute to the winegrowers who have worked the land for generations to produce high-quality wines.
Since its first edition, the Bacus Festival has grown in popularity and diversity of activities, becoming an event that celebrates wine and includes other cultural and gastronomic proposals. The fusion of history, culture, gastronomy, and oenology has made the festival gain recognition and become increasingly known outside the borders of the region.
Variety of activities
The Bacus de Verdú Festival programme is varied and offers activities for all audiences. Although wine is the main protagonist, the

festival includes various events ranging from tastings to theatrical performances.
One of the most emblematic moments of the celebration is the “Grape Stomping,” an activity that recreates the traditional way of making wine in ancient times. Participants take off their shoes to tread the grapes in large wooden vats. This event is not only a nod to ancestral practices but has also become a symbolic act that unites the inhabitants of the town and visitors in the same ritual.
Another significant activity is the craft market, where local producers of wine and other gastronomic products of the region exhibit their best creations. This market is an opportunity to taste and buy local products, such as wines, cheeses, sausages, oils, and honey. Music and theatre also play important roles. Throughout the weekend, you can enjoy concerts in the town squares, folk dance, and theatrical performances that recreate scenes from Roman times.
Wine as the protagonist
Wine is at the centre of all activities at the Bacus Festival. In Verdú, tribute is paid to this elixir with various
events, including commented tastings, winery visits and lectures on the history of wine in the region. Local wineries open their doors to show the production process, from grape harvesting to fermentation and bottling.
Oenology experts’ participation is critical to offering visitors an in-depth insight into the quality and characteristics of local wines, which stand out for their taste, texture, and personality. The guided tastings allow attendees to discover the nuances and aromas of the DO Costers del Segre wines, the denomination of origin to which Verdú belongs.
Tradition in Verdú
The Bacus de Verdú Festival is a celebration that transcends the mere local festivity to become an event that honours wine’s tradition, culture and history. Over the years, this festival has combined elements of Roman mythology with local customs, offering a unique experience that attracts thousands of people annually.
For Verdú, the Bacus Festival is an opportunity to celebrate its winemaking legacy and show the world the region’s cultural and gastronomic richness. It is an unmissable event for lovers of wine, history, and tradition.
Cultural activities are celebrated during this event.
Technology
DOWNPIPES
Rotecna analyses and offers in each case the best solution for the optimal distribution of feed inside farms, offering reliable, efficient and safe systems.
In previous articles, we have discussed the specificities of feed transport systems; in this one, we will discuss the descents where the feed falls to fill the feeders.
Drop Outlets
Drop outlets can be single (coming out of one line) or double (coming out of two lines) and are available for different distribution line diameters (55, 60, 75, and 90 mm) and outlet pipe diameters (63, 70, and 75 mm).
Double drop outlets are recommended when animals are fed simultaneously in the same section with two different types of feed depending on their gender or size. With this type of nozzle, it is possible to select from which of
the two feed lines the feed that falls through the outlet tube is dispensed according to the open or closed tab.
All models are quick to install and operate via ropes without reaching the feed tube by hand. They also have a top cover to prevent water from entering the pipe if the house is washed with tubes full of feed.
The nozzles are fixed with flanges. However, the design of Rotecna’s nozzles allows them to be attached to the line tube so that the installer has both hands free to place the flanges more easily during assembly.
Outlet Tubes
The outlet pipe can be installed at different inclinations in simple models, as the nozzles can rotate on the line tube. It is not recommended to exceed 30º of slope, but you can reach up to 45º with a feed that does not have flow problems
FOR FEED DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS
since the mouths have a unique design on one of the sides to help the feed flow through it in these extreme cases. In addition, in cases where the outlet tubes have much inclination, they must be more prominent in diameter, especially if you are using a feed that does not flow easily.
In double openings, the outlet pipes come out perpendicular but can be oriented by installing flexible pipe sections as a mobile joint.
In the outlet tubes, Rotecna recommends the installation of extendable telescopic tubes in the feeders to easily control the total or partial filling of the hoppers by raising or lowering the tube since it is not recommended to fill the feeder with more feed than the animals are going to consume in a day. The reasons are, on the one hand, so that the feed does not lose organoleptic properties and, on the other hand, in systems where animals are given more than one type of feed so that more feed of one kind is not put into the feeder than the animals should consume. This is especially important in feeders for animals from 5 to 30 kg, as the ratio between hopper volume and daily consumption of the animals is usually substantial. This solution should also be considered in feeders, especially when the animals are in their early stages and still have limited consumption.
The outlet tube must not leave the feeder hopper to avoid feed loss accidents outside the feeders. Therefore, it is recommended that the fixed tube remain inside the hopper and not be removed
without disassembling it before the mouth of the line tube. The telescopic tube should run over it, extending it into the hopper of the trough.
In the case of telescopic tubes, it is crucial that they can be lowered through the hopper to the minimum level desired by the centre of the feeder to ensure that the feed reaches all maws, even when the animals have consumed part of the feed. This should be considered if the outlet tubes are lowered at an incline through the feeder hopper and if the feeders have multiple maws or are double, as the ratio between the hopper capacity and the daily consumption of the animals is higher. It may be necessary to install more than one outlet pipe per feeder.
Feeding systems must be designed and sized according to each facility’s needs. Rotecna analyses each case and offers the best solution for optimal feed distribution inside the farms, offering reliable, efficient, and safe systems.

J.C.
LATRE:
“THE TR5 IS A FEEDER THAT STANDS OUT FOR ITS REGULATION, AND IT IS SIMPLE TO RUN”
Some Rotecna products installed at the Leridana de Piensos Farm in Farlete (Zaragoza) are over 16 years old and continue to fulfil their function. We went to these facilities to talk to the farm manager, Juan Carlos Latre, who highlighted the quality and exemplary functioning of Rotecna products, such as the already consolidated TR5 feeder for weaning. Latre explains that its simple regulatory system makes it ideal for feeding piglets and obtaining reasonable conversion rates.
Why did you decide to commit yourself to livestock?
When I was little, my father already had a farm of 80 sows in a closed cycle, so when I finished my business studies, as I had the business set up, I decided to continue with it. Initially, the family farm was in the village. However, wanting
The Leridana de Piensos, with 1,000 breeding sows and 3,000 piglets in transition, has been working with Rotecna equipment for years.
to expand, we had to move to the outskirts and build these new facilities to accommodate the 1,000 sows we currently have.
How is the farm distributed?
The farm has four sheds: one for mating and control, one for confirmed gestation, another for maternity with 224 places, where we work with Rotecna’s Dositronic M and, finally, the transition shed, which is fully equipped with Rotecna products.
How many people work on the farm, and what are their tasks?
We now have five workers: one is dedicated to mating and confirmed gestation, another is in maternity, a third is in transition, and a support person is available when help is needed

in any of the sections. Finally, there is me, who is in charge of the farm’s management and maintenance.
“We have installed the support for the TR5, allowing us to rotate the feders to empty and wash them well.”
In the weaning rooms, you have a TR5 feeder from Rotecna. What benefits does it bring them?
The TR5 feeder stands out for its regulation and is very simple. It must be regulated
the first few days so that the piglets eat little and do not gorge themselves on food to avoid diarrhoea. As the days pass, we will adjust the regulations to increase the feed the feeder offers. On the other hand, being a dry feeder without corners, and due to the material with which it is made, it is straightforward and quick to clean. Also, we have installed the support for the TR5, allowing us to rotate the feeders to empty and wash them well.
How do you adapt piglets?
For the first few days, we use Rotecna’s Maxi Pan. We prepare some porridge, and
the piglets adapt to the feed. After a week, we remove the dishes, and the animals eat the feed from the TR5, which they then adapt to immediately.
Has the conversion rate improved with this feeder? It improves a lot because there is no waste of feed. If the feeder is appropriately regulated, it does not cause problems, and the conversion rate is outstanding.
What other Rotecna products have you installed?
We have many: all PVC separators, slats, Dositronic M in maternity, dosers in gestation, hoppers, etc.

Working with Rotecna products guarantees the quality of the material, and they are easy to handle and clean. Some products have been installed for over 16 years and do their job perfectly. Finally, I would highlight that Rotecna has an excellent after-sales service. They are always there.
On the other hand, what are your main health concerns? Luckily, we have not had many health problems, none serious. However, there is always uncertainty about the possible arrival of diseases such as ASF or PRRS. When gilts enter, we monitor these animals to prevent them from interfering with the farm’s production.
Also, we are cautious when entering animals.
What future challenges do you have for the farm?
The main challenge for this farm is to produce as many quality piglets as possible that have no problems when they reach fattening.
“Some Rotecna products have been installed for over 16 years and do their job perfectly.”
What biosecurity measures do you adopt to reduce the risk of disease contagion?
We have a farm fence, a sanitary ford at the entrance, and changing rooms to access the interior with farm clothes.

“WITH THE DECREASE IN DENSITIES, WE WILL HAVE TO PUT 2.4 MORE TRUCKS INTO CIRCULATION PER ROUTE TO COMPLY WITH THE CURRENT MOVEMENT OF ANIMALS”
The live animal transport sector has recently highlighted the unfeasibility of the proposals contemplated in the new draft of the animal welfare regulation during transport. The document proposes, among other measures, to reduce the animal population density and limit travel hours, which, according to the sector, will not improve animal welfare and lead to a worsening of workers’ working conditions and an increase in costs. We spoke with Marc Póo, the manager of the Spanish National Association of Live Animal Transporters (ANTA), to analyse the measures included in the new draft.
What are the key changes proposed in the draft regulations that impact the transportation of live animals?
The draft has four key points: travel times, temperatures, densities, and the supervision of the animals’ loading and unloading. The truth is that a proposal has yet to be made without consulting the sector and considering the proper functioning of the current regulations. In the last 20 years, many changes have been made to the 2005 regulations to ensure animal welfare: that the transport complies with all its requirements to
In December, the European Commission presented a new draft of the regulation on animal welfare during transport, with proposals that have generated opposition from the sector.
ensure that the animals are in the best possible condition, that there are no injuries or casualties during transport, and so on. Let’s look at the history of recent years. There are practically no casualties during transport, and we are discussing a 0.00027% casualty rate for each shipment of live animals across Europe.
Regarding the reduction of density, why do you think increasing the available space is unfeasible and harmful to animals?
We must bear in mind that, with current densities, the animals are ensured not to

If we look at the history of recent years, there are practically no casualties during the transport of pigs.
make physical contact with each other since the more space available between them, the greater the risk of bruising, injury or even casualties in transport. On the other hand, live animals move during transport, making driving difficult, as it harms the safety of the carrier and the rest of the vehicles. We need to consider that the truck has much power, and the more the automobile’s rear moves, the higher the risk of accidents and overturning. Because of these issues, we do not agree to increase animal space. With the implementation of the new regulations, a significant reduction in densities is expected: a payload reduction of 59% is estimated for 18 kg piglets and 57% for 20 kg piglets. In addition, when temperatures exceed 30 degrees, the available space will increase by 20%. This means that, under such conditions, the payload reduction for 18 kg piglets will be 65.58%, and for 20 kg piglets, it will be 64.35%.
Due to lower animal densities, we must include 2.4 additional trucks per trip to comply with regulations, significantly raising costs.
Another proposal that has generated the most opposition in Spain concerns maximum outdoor temperatures. What complications does the draft introduce to a climate akin to ours? We must take into account the geographical situation in which we find ourselves. In Spain, and with climate change, we are between 25 and 30 ºC for almost half a year, so, according to what the draft proposes, we will have transport restrictions for six months out of the year. When temperatures are between 25 and 30 ºC, only short transfers of up to 9 hours during the day will be allowed, ensuring that the animals have continuous access to water. Once 30 ºC is exceeded, night driving will occur from 9 pm to 10 am. A study by the General Directorate of Traffic concluded that there were more fatal accidents on the road in July and August at night. On the other hand, operating at night has to be a decision of the working person; it does not have to be imposed since this involves a shift in how people live their lives. We agree that animals must be protected, but people working in the transport sector must also be protected;
therefore, we must balance animal and worker welfare.
Limitations have also been proposed regarding the minimum age of the animals and the distances to be travelled. How does this affect transportation?
It will affect, for example, the transport of piglets in the Netherlands since 24-hour breaks will have to be made in stopover centres every 17 and a half hours of travel. In addition, it’s important to note that the time spent loading and unloading animals is included in the total travel hours. We need to understand the need to do so as it reduces the effective hours of travel.
Despite everything, the current regulation is from 2005. Are any changes needed?
Changes have already been made. In recent years, animal welfare regulations have been updated. We understand changes being applied to things that are not working, but this is not the case. They are using this proposal to target the transportation of live animals to disrupt the meat industry.
“We aim to abolish the regulations, but Europe’s high standards require careful consideration, so we’ll check the situation in the future”.
When could the new regulations come into effect if they go ahead?
We don’t know. We are currently negotiating in Europe and have successfully revised the regulations, which is incredibly important. The regulations will go ahead, as it is complicated for Europe to turn back. However, I believe that a balance can be achieved by looking at the impact it will have on the sector and looking for solutions that balance the economic part with animal welfare and that of workers. We are going to work on it. We aim to abolish the regulations, but Europe’s high standards require careful consideration, so we’ll check the situation in the future.
If approved under current conditions, would the sector’s application of the regulations be viable? As it is, it takes work. In the end, Europe has to be aware that it cannot paralyse a sector that is crucial for the economies of different countries. It is also true that in recent years, there has not been a good image of the livestock sector. We must invest in communication and demonstrating how the meat chain works. We have companies that are a great example in transporting live animals, for example, how they work and invest so that nothing is missing and ensure the welfare of the animals.
In recent years, animal welfare regulations have been updated.
PIG PRODUCTION IN
EXPORTS, A PILLAR OF THE PORK INDUSTRY IN CHILE
In 2023, Chile exported 57% of its production, reaching a total of 306,000 tons exported.
Pork production in Chile is distinguished by being intensive, highly technological, and vertically integrated throughout the entire production chain. This has allowed this sector to focus on exports effectively. Thus, Chile has positioned itself as one of the leading pork exporters worldwide and is the third largest exporter in Latin America, after Brazil and Mexico.
Production
The pork industry has established itself as a fundamental pillar within the Chilean livestock sector. According to Interporc data, in 2023, Chilean pork production
was maintained at around seven or eight thousand farms. However, commercial farms would be around 70 (most located in Santiago, O’Higgins, and Maule). These farms stand out for using advanced animal farming technologies and maintaining high levels of biosecurity.
Thanks to this well-defined structure, Chile slaughtered 5.5 million pigs and produced 595 million tons of pork in 2023, around 2.5% more than in 2022. The Chilean pork industry not only focuses on producing fresh meat but also has a strong presence in the production of pork products.
These high-quality products stand out in the international market for their price competitiveness.
Market and internationalisation
One of the most notable characteristics of the Chilean pork sector is its high export capacity. In 2023, 57% of production was exported, reaching 306,000 tons. The main destinations for Chilean pork were Japan, South Korea, China, and Russia, demonstrating the internationalisation and diversification of the Chilean market.
Despite this high export capacity, the sector relies on imports to meet domestic demand. In 2023, Chile imported 116,000 tonnes

of pork meat and processed products worth 299.36 million euros. Brazil, the United States, and Spain were the leading pork suppliers, contributing 5% of the total volume of Chilean pork imports in 2023.
These figures show that the structure of pork selfsufficiency in the Chilean market is characterised by dependence on imports, a strong export direction, and a high degree of self-sufficiency.
Pork consumption
The Chilean market shows a high demand for meat in general, with a per capita consumption close to 90 kilos per inhabitant per year. Within this total, chicken meat is the most consumed, with 43%, followed by beef, 30%, and pork, 26%. This last percentage translates into a total consumption of meat and pork products of approximately 406,000 tonnes, equivalent to a per capita consumption of 20.7 kilos per inhabitant per year.
Despite the slight decline in pork consumption over the last two years, the demand for this food is expected to continue growing and may even reach the figures for beef. This change is due to the higher price of beef and Chilean consumers’ greater preference for pork products.
Challenges
Maintaining international competitiveness is the main challenge facing the Chilean pork sector while working
to meet growing domestic demand. Despite its selfsufficiency, with a selfsufficiency level of 146.6%, the country must balance domestic production with imports to ensure a steady and adequate pork supply.
In conclusion, the Chilean pork sector has consolidated a robust and expanding structure, with a strong export direction and continuing growth in domestic consumption. The industry’s ability to adapt to new market realities, innovate in production practices, and be open to emerging markets will be crucial to its future development.
