The need for outsourced services is due to the farmers' sudden requests for replacement and the absences of the interlacing service providers. In addition, as outsourced services, replacement services can be procured for normal annual leave or surrogacy holidays alongside monthly-paid holidaymakers. If necessary, the outsourced service is also used for subsidized paid interlacing.
