Thanks to this technology, we have been able to reduce the ecological footprint of our slaughter pig production even under hard economic conditions, which increasingly gets in the focus of the society’s attention’ – expounded Gábor Bakó, Director of the Pig Farming Division of Bonafarm Agriculture.’
