Objectives
Pig-farmers have to reduce the use of antibiotics. As the use of antibiotics depends on many factors, pig-farmers need an approach that takes into account the farm specific challenges as well as the variety of factors influencing on animal health. In mechanical engineering the concept “learning factory” is often used to improve continuously work processes and therefore to increase productivity and to reduce waste. Based on the findings and experience of the learning factory a learning network (including pig-farmers, advisors, veterinarians and scientists) will be developed to implement a continuous improvement process which focusses on reducing the use of antibiotics in pig production.
