Feather pecking & cannibalism in hens
Tail biting & aggression in pigs
EU COST Action CA15134

The GroupHouseNet aim was to provide the European livestock industry with innovations in breeding and management for pigs and poultry that are needed for a successful transition to large group housing systems without necessitating painful tail docking and beak trimming. We are an EU funded project (COST Action CA15134).


This four year project ended in 2020.

For players who have found their local options too restrictive, the journey often begins with a trusted casino en ligne that offers a fresh pace and genuine freedom. Stepping beyond conventional boundaries, many experienced gamblers discover new possibilities at platforms operating outside traditional self-exclusion frameworks, where personal choice takes priority. The real shift in control happens when you explore independent casino sites that operate beyond the reach of GamStop, prioritizing your autonomy over arbitrary red tape. For UK-based players searching specifically for reliable platforms, Best Non GamStop Casinos UK provide the perfect blend of generous bonuses and fair gaming conditions. Meanwhile, European players looking to avoid local blocking systems like the Dutch CRUKS registry can turn to a casino zonder CRUKS and reclaim their right to play without surveillance. Each option opens a door to a more flexible, international style of online gambling, where limits are self-imposed and enjoyment is paramount.
