Abstract
Animal welfare requirements are expected to affect the future development of pig production systems in France. Rules and regulations play a major role in this evolution. This could be in favour of larger farms, better able to sustain their economic burden. The development of alternative production systems should also be in favour of improved animal welfare. However, French consumer demand for this type of production remains very low due to higher prices. On the other hand, simultaneous improvement of animal performance and welfare provides an interesting approach, as the price increase due to the welfare-related cost may be at least partly offset by enhanced animal performance.
