The process of pork production in Germany includes the sow production phase and fattening phase. Sow production uses data analysis to improve the productive days of sows. Artificial insemination is practiced along with breeding selection to improve the production cycles. Lactation lasts for 3-4 weeks before the piglets are transferred to the fattening phase. Depending on the fattening phase, pigs are classified in terms of weight: S1, S2, and S3.

Strict sanitary regulations have led to the closure of small, traditional slaughterhouses, leading to increases in larger organizations such as big Integrated Management Systems and Independent Livestock Associations.

Piglet Production Improvements in sanitary control of farms have been key to reducing deaths, increasing production at the same time. Lactation lasts for 3-4 weeks before the piglets are transferred to the fattening phase.
