Abstract

The pig husbandry is an important economic sector. Major changes occurred in the last decade. As a result, farmers came together to introduce the ‘Eco-label pig’, meeting the strong consumer and governmental call for high quality, animal friendly and environmentally friendly food. The market for Eco-label food will grow enormously in the next years, asking for the development of an efficient and effective supply chain consisting of farmers, slaughter houses, wholesalers and retailers. We present some mathematical models to support decision-making and evaluation of a large number of growth scenarios, using cost minimization given a number of Eco-label conditions.
