More than 70 people attended our BPEX Live online
workshop this week – the most since the series began – to see photos of new
technologies and buildings on Danish pig farms.
These included loose farrowing pens, new weaned pig
accommodation and a slurry cooling system to reduce ammonia emissions and extract
heat.
Despite a technical hitch at
the start of the workshop, viewers stayed online to ask the presenters more
about the technologies and pig performance.
The presenters, Lis Ravn
and Nigel Penlington from BPEX and
Jonathan French from BOCM Pauls, travelled with a group of English pig
producers, buildings manufacturers and feed consultants on the BPEX study tour
to Denmark in March.
Running the online workshop,
or ‘webinar’, was a way for them to
share what they had learned with many more people across the industry.
It is an
increasingly popular way for producers to gain new knowledge; everyone can join in online from their own home or
office and they have the chance to join in and ask questions or just listen in and
pick up some ideas.
The presentation on the Danish
tour is now available to download from:
