Royal Decree 1132/1981 of 24 April on Health and Zootechnical Management of Extensive Pig Holdings was echoed, at the time, in the reality of the traditional commercial exploitation of pig cattle. In addition to the fact that the Community has not yet been able to take the necessary steps to ensure the proper development of this particular production system, it will be able to take the necessary steps to ensure the proper development of this system. the orderly exploitation of the natural productive resources of the corral, and the promotion of the Iberian pig trunk.

Over the years, new concepts of sustainable development, extensiveness, animal welfare, agri-environmental protection, conditionality, and quality and animal health, draw a more complex scenario in which the animal production must find a seat. From this approach, of course, there is no need for the production of swine in the extensive system, without forgetting the dehesa as a territorial base to which, in a traditional way, this type of production was fundamentally linked, it must also be related with the presence, throughout the Spanish territory, of systems associated with the use of natural resources through grazing, mainly linked to the indigenous races of the different autonomous communities.

Consequently, it is necessary to develop, in Article 4 (1) (g) of this royal decree, for reference holdings, as indicated by Article 4 of Law 32/2007 of 7 November 2007 for the care of animals in their exploitation, transport, experimentation and slaughter, by means of the adaptation for those holdings of the provisions for pig holdings in general, in Council Directive 2001 /88/EC of 23 October 2001 amending the Directive 91 /630/EEC on minimum standards for the protection of pigs and the Directive Commission Decision 2001 /93/EC of 9 November 2001 amending Directive 91 /630/EEC on minimum standards for the protection of pigs and on the minimum standards for the protection of pigs from 31 October 2001 protection of pigs.

To this new orientation of livestock farming towards more sustainable models, which the European agricultural model represents, joins the more than possible promotion of this system of production in extensive, derived from the application of the Common agricultural policy after the last reform, which calls for greater orientation of livestock production to the market by decoupling aid schemes in respect of certain types of production.

In addition, it must be borne in mind that in March 2000, Royal Decree 324/2000 was published, of 3 March, laying down basic rules for the management of pig holdings and by which it was intended to adapt the current rules for the management of pig holdings which are intensive in relation to the new reality of the sector in this production system, with the exception of pig holdings in extensive production systems.

It is also worth highlighting the development, in recent years, of new production models that must have a place in one or another production system, always with the appropriate legal context, and perfectly defined in terms of their consideration as extensive or intensive production systems.

The regulatory development of Law 8/2003 of April 24, of animal health, is necessary as regards the health management of extensive pig holdings.

On the other hand, the publication of Royal Decree 479/2004 of 26 March establishing and regulating the General Register of Livestock Holdings (hereinafter REGA) requires the adaptation of the provisions of the General Register of Extensive porcine holdings to the structure and content of the REGA.

Therefore, it is currently necessary that, in the same way as intensive production, a new legal framework for extensive pig production be set up in its broadest sense, based on the principle of integration of this type of production with the physical medium that supports it, and based on the use of agroforestry resources, mainly through grazing, and with respect to the requirements deriving from the Community regulations on animal welfare, hygiene (i) the protection of the environment, as well as animal health. At the same time, it must ensure minimum conditions for holdings throughout the Spanish territory that minimise the health or environmental risks that these holdings may entail for their particular characteristics. To this end, according to the present matter, basic norms are established regarding technical aspects that, taking into account the particularities of this management system, allow the development of a productive activity, balanced and competitive, ensuring that the objective objective of the State competition on the bases is achieved. Accordingly, Royal Decree 1132/1981 of 24 April 1981 on the Health and Zootechnical Management of Extensive Pig Holdings and the concept of those holdings provided for in Royal Decree 324/2000 of 3 March 2001 is repealed by the that basic rules for the management of pig holdings are laid down.

On the other hand, it is necessary to incorporate an additional provision for amendment of Article 5 of Royal Decree 1547/2004 of 25 June 2004 laying down rules for the management of farming holdings in the on the requirements for the identification of the species in farming. This amendment will make it possible to adopt, in the identification of animals destined for slaughter, the new transport devices available, which allow for an unambiguous identification of the origin of the animals without the need for Individual identification of transport cages, technically more difficult. Accordingly, Annex III of that royal decree is left uncontained, as the codification included in it is no longer necessary.

In the elaboration of this royal decree, the autonomous communities and the most representative entities of the affected sectors have been consulted.

This royal decree is issued by virtue of the habilitation contained in the fifth final provision of Law 8/2003, of 24 April, of Animal Health.

In its virtue, and on the proposal of the Minister of the Environment, and the Rural and Marine Environment, with the prior approval of the First Vice President of the Government and Minister of the Presidency, in agreement with the State Council and deliberation of the Council of Ministers at its meeting on 17 July 2009,

DISPONGO:

2. In addition it shall be understood as:

(a) Extensive operating system: that based on the commercial use of animals of the porcine species in a continuous and determined area, characterized by a defined livestock load that will never exceed the (a) by means of grazing, in such a way as to be supplemented by the contribution of agricultural forestry resources, which can be supplemented by the contribution of the Community's agricultural and forestry resources. plant and animal feed materials, constitutes the basis for the feeding of livestock in the bait phase and allow the maintenance of the territorial base, both in economic and environmental aspects.

b) UGM. Major livestock unit: equivalent to an adult bovine.

(c) Extensive self-consumption operation: the purpose of which is to bathe animals for the exclusive use of family consumption, with a maximum annual production not exceeding 5 bait pigs, and without having any effective players.

(d) Reduced extensive exploitation: the holding which houses a maximum number of 5 players, and may maintain a number not exceeding 25 bait animals. In any event, the holding shall not be able to hold a quantity of pigs exceeding the equivalent of 5 UGM.

e) Permanent installations: they are considered as:

1. Aquellas buildings arranged for the maintenance, in some form of confinement, of breeding animals, with or without progeny, during the breeding or breeding period, as well as of the bait pigs, without power (a) to provide, therefore, a capacity of livestock higher than that authorised in the register for the extensive pig holding, according to its zootechnical classification. This maximum authorised capacity shall be a limiting factor for the number of heads that may be used by the holding.

f) Biosafety: a set of measures that cover both structures of the holding, and aspects of management, aimed at protecting animals from the entry and spread of infectious and parasitic diseases in the exploitation.

Article 3. Classification of extensive pig holdings.

1. Zootechnical classification: taking into account their zootechnical orientation, the pig holdings in the extensive system shall be classified in the following categories:

(a) Selection: those that direct their activity mainly to the production of breeding animals of breed or hybrids. They can be:

1. Race selection, regulated in Royal Decree 2129/2008 of 26 December, establishing the National Program for the Conservation, Improvement and Promotion of Livestock breeds.

2. Selection of hybrids, referred to in Royal Decree 1108/1991 of 12 July, on zootechnical standards applicable to hybrid breeding pigs.

(b) Multiplication: those which direct their activity mainly to the multiplication of breed or hybrid animals from the holding of selection, the main purpose of which is to obtain animals intended for the reproduction, through the application of the corresponding zootechnical and sanitary programs, being able to generate their players for self-replacement.

Players used in these holdings shall be entered in the herd-books or in the official records concerned, which are regulated in the provisions referred to in the first and second subparagraph of the preceding paragraph.

(c) For breeding purposes: those which guide their activity to re-collect future players from a single holding approved for the sale of players, the destination of which is reproduction or, marginally, the stage of finish or bait.

(d) Production: those that direct their activity mainly to the production of piglets for fattening and slaughter, and can generate their players for self-replenishment. They may also be used for the sale of players, as a secondary activity of the holding, provided that it has the corresponding authorisation by the competent authority. In the case of their productive activity, they are classified as:

1. A closed cycle, when the entire production process, i.e. birth, breeding, recycling and bait, takes place on the same holding, using only one's own production.

2. Open cycle, when the production process is limited to the birth and breeding of the piglets, and can extend the same to the recría, for its subsequent bait in other authorized holdings. However, in this type of operation, part of the production of piglets will be able to carry out the entire production process.

(e) "bait" means those dedicated to the breeding and fattening of animals for slaughter to the slaughterhouse. Exceptionally, the competent authority of the autonomous community where the holding is located may authorise the departure of the animals to another extensive holding of bait, exclusively for the seasonal use of natural resources, in a period prior to their slaughter.

2. Classification for its productive capacity: the extensive pig holdings are classified according to their productive capacity, expressed in UGM, according to the equivalences established for each type of livestock in Article 4.1.a) 1 of the next form:

a) Group first: holdings with capacity up to 37 UGM.

b) Second group: holdings with a capacity of 38 to 112 UGM.

(c) Third group: holdings with a capacity of 113 to 225 LU.

The autonomous communities may modulate the maximum capacity provided for in paragraph c), depending on the characteristics of the areas in which the holdings are located, the circumstances of production or other conditions which may be they can be determined by the competent body of those bodies, without in any case being able to increase that capacity by more than 20%.
