Abstract

To ensure the farmer follows up on the new consumer demand for pork traceability and welfare during production, we developed a concept of applying the good practices during on-farm pig production. The productive meat sector has undergone technological transformations in recent years by searching for products with better quality, social responsibility, and sustainability. The worldwide good-practice norms are already known, and further information is already published by breeders, technical manuals, and scientific papers. New advancements in information and communication tools (ITC) can allow farmers to access real-time farm data and check their compliance with the established good-practices norms. The present study aims to conceptualize a digital solution suitable for evaluating the compliance of the pig farming management conditions. A mobile application will be made based on the standards of good practices as a digital transformation. The producer will be able to continuously check in real-time through the mobile application, assuring that his herd complies with the worldwide standards during production.
