Abstract
Developments in pig housing during the last decade have been influence d not only by economics but also by animal welfare and environmental r egulations. Because the different requirements may cause conflicts for some aspects of pig housing, an integrated approach is necessary. Hou sing systems which partly or fully meet today's animal welfare and env ironmental regulations in the Netherlands are described.
