Moon Pig Project
GUDP enters cooperation as SPACE Systems is selected to develop the Moon Pig. Since January 2017 a full scale production has been up and running in Jutland.
The purpose of the Danish Government funded Moon Pig project is to demonstrate that a combination of pioneering, new and existing technologies can be applied when building or renovating an existing finisher housing with SPACE Systems.
The objectives are to document that increased animal welfare and reduced environmental impact can be combined sustainable and profitable operations. Focus areas are lower NH3 emissions, improved animal welfare, less medication, fighting MRSA and online documentation.

Impact and Vision
Jørgen Berth’s Moon Pig project marks a big step towards more eco-friendly pig farming. It introduces a groundbreaking system that cuts down harmful emissions and improves the living conditions for pigs by using advanced ventilation in floors. This innovation not only supports animal welfare but also benefits the environment by reducing ammonia and methane emissions. Jørgen’s vision is to make sustainable practices central to farming, leading to a cleaner, greener future and setting a new standard in agricultural environmental care.
