PIG EDUCATION DAY

Abbie McArdle, Kaitlyn Hicks, Caitlin Arts and Riley Hayes-Revitt all recently attended the PorkSA Pig Education Day at Roseworthy. The day focused on the science and management behind the pork industry and included sessions on reproduction, AI, managing newborn piglets and nutrition. The students were involved in a dissection of the reproductive organs of sows and laboratory testing of piglet plasma to assess the amount of colostrum they had received. It was a very informative and interesting day, especially in the current context of heightened biosecurity alerts due to African Swine Fever.
