The IBeSt project (“Innovations for existing pig rearing and fattening facilities in Austria – for the benefit of animals and humans”) was successfully completed in December 2025 and is therefore history…

But the planning and renovation work in pig farms is only just beginning! Because by 2034, according to the new legal requirements, all farms must have adapted their piglet rearing and fattening barns.

With the brand-new “IBeSt Experience Catalogue”, farm managers, consultants and those interested in pig farming now have access to a comprehensive information and consulting tool: In addition to illustrative conversion plans of the participating project farms, this contains important tips and tricks on planning, implementing and managing farm-specific measures.

Additionally, the key scientific findings of the project from all work packages/topics are summarized at the end of the catalogue.
