Environmental management for outdoor 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 Rotational Outdoor Piggeries (NEGROP) provides guidelines to ensure outdoor pig production in Australia is environmentally sustainable.

Value for producers:

• Outdoor piggeries and producers which follow the NEGROP can provide evidence they are committed to outdoor pig production in an environmentally sustainable manner, protecting their business and future production.
