Results of a survey carried out in Brittany on free-range sow management practices in the insemination period identifying three main strategies: LIBIA (confinement from weaning until completion of insemination, then group housing), LIBSEVIA (group housing from weaning, temporary confinement for insemination period, followed by rapid release), and LIBSEV (group housing of sows from weaning with temporary confinement for each AI). Each method has its advantages, necessary precautions and points to watch out for.
