The eight-month
Stockman Development course is designed to both boost practical pig husbandry
skills and give trainees a wider knowledge of the supply chain.
The student
of the year award went to Piotr Wroblewski, who works for Piggy Green near Bury
St Edmunds. He was really pleased to receive the award and said his time on the
course has helped motivate him to progress further in his pig industry career.
Piotr said: “I think we’ve improved our service management with the sows and also
what we do at weaning. I hope we will start to see the results and better
performance soon.”
Fellow
trainee James Hearmon from Rattlerow Farms highlighted about what he had
learned about condition scoring sows and how much it had helped his pig
management.
Piotr,
James and the rest of the group all received certificates of achievement at a
special presentation evening in Bury St Edmunds. Their managers also came along
for a bite to eat and to help celebrate their success.
