Environmental management for indoor piggeries

Pig producers in Australia need to demonstrate due diligence by taking every practical step to minimise the impact of their operations on the environment.

At times there are complexities as environmental regulations vary between jurisdictions, from Commonwealth to State and Local Government. A holistic approach needs to be taken to address jurisdictional requirements.

The National Environmental Guidelines for Indoor Piggeries (NEGIP) provides guidelines to ensure pig production in Australia is environmentally sustainable.

Value for producers:

• Businesses that follow the NEGIP can provide evidence they are committed to pig production in an environmentally sustainable manner, protecting their business and future production.
