Update<br />
from Japan<br />
Oriental Yeast Co., Ltd. (OYC) started to breed Göttingen <strong>Minipigs</strong> in Japan in 2013 in close cooperation with EGM.<br />
Despite the distance between Denmark and Japan, we enjoy the fruitful relations with EGM which have helped OYC<br />
to become a professional and successful breeder supplying Göttingen <strong>Minipigs</strong> to Japan and Taiwan. We are very<br />
proud to report that our facility has been AAALAC fully re-accredited in March 2018, and we are indeed honored to<br />
be highly reputed in the formal notification from AAALAC International regarding the efforts of our staff concerning<br />
animal welfare:<br />
Our facility especially attaches great emphasis on socialization of the animals and the amount of bedding given to<br />
the animals. This is because socialization does not only facilitate animal handling and health observation, but also<br />
has a good influence on their health and welfare. In addition, providing bedding to pigs also can help the animals to<br />
promote their intrinsic behavior and keep the pens in a clean condition.<br />
