Our group of producers from East Anglia has arrived safely in the US
and, after our first full day at World
Pork Expo, there are a couple of interesting bits to mention…
We’ve seen a biodegradable mat that
can be used in a farrowing house, which claims to help reduce scour and reduce
mortality.
Also found a water additive that is
inexpensive and currently being used successfully in Ireland
and Holland .
And had an interesting presentation
from Elanco, including Dr Keith Hayden who gave us some insight into the US pig
industry.
We’ll also be visiting some pig units
during the next few days. Please comment below if there’s anything you’d like
us to try and find out from the US industry while we’re here.
