Growing Healthy Pigs

The Growing Healthy Pigs podcast is back for season three and episode one is now available for you to listen to. This is the podcast for anyone involved in the pig sector who wants to hear first-hand from key industry players on the big issues faced by the sector. To kick off the series, our host, Ingrid Potter, considers the role of data collection on UK pig farms. Ingrid is joined by Marc Cox, from Agrisyst, and Carlos Pineiro from PigChamp Pro Europe to discuss the benefits which data, when used correctly, can bring to a farm by increasing productivity and profitability.  During this episode, we also consider the struggles that UK pig farms are coming up against when using data on-farm and why data isn’t being used to its full potential.

In this episode of the Growing Healthy Pigs podcast, we speak to Richard Pearson from the George Vet Group about whether the new RUMA target for antibiotic reduction in the pig sector is achievable and what farmers can do to reach this goal.  We also catch up with Adam Marshall, one of our Growing Healthy Pigs Ambassadors, who has successfully reduced antibiotic use on his farm through introducing a strict vaccination policy. So, if you’re listening to us in the shed, tractor or in your kitchen while you rustle up some dinner, get comfy and stay tuned.
