The Pig Information Group is made up of experts from SRUC and SAC Consulting and our primary aim is to enhance communication with those in the pig supply chain.
Outdoor pig husbandry manual
The P.I.G have produced a stockperson’s guide to farrowing for all outdoor pig keepers.
It contains guidance for best practice from setting up the farrowing paddock to weaning the piglets. There are links to nest-building and farrowing videos and what to keep an eye on to prevent problems.
