Table 2.

Prevalence of total number of lesions – as well as all lesions minus chronic pleuritis - recorded during meat inspection in organic/free-range finishing pigs (N = 201,160) compared with conventionally raised finishing pigs (N = 1,173,213), for one Danish slaughterhouse, covering 1 year from October 1, 2012, to September 26, 2013
